In fact, systemd frequently doesn't work. I had a boot problem that I could only have resolved using a debugger, as I tracked the problem down to systemd itself. At that point I lost interest and switched to Devuan. No systemd, no systemd problem.
You have more options now than you did before. Nothing is being "enforced" here.
We needed more options than we did before because some of the best ones were contaminated with systemd. For example Debian, so now I have to run Devuan. It's an entire distribution which didn't even need to exist if only Debian hadn't gone to the dark side. And what's crazy is that you can still change Debian to use sysvinit if you want, but then a bunch of stuff doesn't work because of all the systemd-dependent tweaks in Debian. And literally the only reasons they went to it were 1) GNOME, which sucks now anyway and 2) because writing init scripts was too hard for Debian package maintainers. Shell scripting is a central Unix feature, so this was only a move to let people who don't understand Unix make contributions which they also don't understand.
Having more options isn't positive when the new options are just bad, AND they make more people have to do more work. cgroups can be manipulated with shell commands. startpar already lets you start services in parallel with sysvinit. We didn't need systemd.
But... how?
What he was known for before this was pulseaudio, which is trash. It was always trash and it's still trash, and now it's been replaced by something much better which has been around a much, much shorter time.
Where did the good will come from in the first place?
Chuck E Cheese at least had games of skill.
This is only preying on addiction.
But if they had competitions where the winner got paid, they could only collect a share of winner's entry fee plus loser's entry fee, this way they can collect money from bystanders as well. So it makes sense, in a sleazy way.
Now you've got a ton of maintenance points.
Better to have one big facility, IF you can design it worth a shit so the whole thing doesn't catch fire at once. There have been a couple of failures like that, they are embarrassing and stupid.
Just another job for shipping containers.
If one starts with something, the cheapest thing to start with is everything but the batteries. Then you start saving money right away by using less grid input.
You also do not want to be building batteries with a spot welder. You want to use cells that have screw terminals, not a bunch of little bitty things. Not only will it be cheaper, but it's more serviceable. If you have a cell failure with your welded battery you're going to have extra work to do comparatively. It makes sense to weld a pack for an ebike, but not for a house.
The CO2 narrative lost all its air with Scientists revealing human activity only 4% globally
Pollutants from ships are #1 period.
Shipping is human activity. You think container ships are from mars or what?
If you REALLY want to compare costs between ICE and EV solutions, fine. Remove ALL government subsidies, tax breaks, kickbacks, and deductions both solutions are getting right now, and just tell me what it costs a consumer.
The fossil fuel industry is the most subsidized thing in history. Let's do this! Though if we did it all at once, civilization would probably collapse.
That will tends to say a lot about the overall cost of the new compared to the old.
EVs are the old. At first there were far more EVs than ICEVs because of the lack of availability of fuel. Anyone could assemble a state of the art battery back then, and it was much easier to generate electricity than to refine gasoline. That part is still true!
Even if it's all coal I bet it's still going to have lower lifetime emissions than running on bunker fuel.
So it's slightly less terrible now, whoopee.
Just watched a coworker try to find an outlook window, not only was it not appearing but couldn't right click the entry in the taskbar menu and move it into visibility. Every few days word documents stop loading correctly, not even all the widgets in the window will draw, have to quit (closing all open windows) and restart word to get it to work again.
Microsoft is still shit, and will always be shit.
That's not how anything works. They might as well sue everyone on the planet for the temporary copy their browser made. How ignorant.
They aren't making verbatim copies.
The only way to get what even looks like one is to use so many of the words from the original as input tokens that you have practically rewritten the output anyway.
Your linked article says to go to a bunch of places way more biased than Wikipedia if you want less bias. What a load of shit.
No one expects them to work for free.
Doctors get paid in the UK, for example.
"Microsoft software now is light years ahead of where it used to be."
Are we talking about the same software?
Stable and works? OneNote crashed when I renamed a note. Teams still isn't able to detect which messages you have read and update the flag on the icon correctly. Microsoft software is just as shit as it has ever been.
