Comment Re:If it becomes too big it might be bad (Score 1) 53

Not really. I have been running Debian for about 25 years now and I never had systemd on it except a few time as an intermediate step during installation. Debian has had a page explaining how to stay with sysIV init for ages. I used that before Devuan became stable.

Yes, because I also did that, I know that it was a pain in the ass. Making the switch was easy enough, but then you had to fiddle with literally dozens of other things to make them work right because Debian didn't include enough of the other packages' config files etc to make them work properly with sysvinit.

What are the issues you identify with the Gentoo installation process?

I didn't commit to memory exactly where the process broke down, as it wasn't worth remembering.

Metal cases, fingerprint scanner on power button exactly where your thumb falls, nice performance, very good cameras and photo apps. Brilliant, fast, accurate GPS. But they are not even supported through two Android versions. They claim support for 2 versions and then don't do it,

Agreed. I had SEMC Xperia Play, came with gingerbread. They promised ICS and then never delivered. They did release a beta but it broke controller support (Xperia Play had a slide-out controller and came with a playstation game running in an emulator, and you could buy a few more titles.) The community got the controller working in ICS, but unreliably.

I learned my lesson in just one step and never bought another Sony device of any kind again, not even a receiver, those lying fucks. Byeeeee!

If that's the case, then I've never used an OS that doesn't have "something fundamentally wrong" with it.

Never used MacOS 6? You really didn't need a book for that. If you needed help with a reinstall or something you could call or visit your Apple store and they would tell you how to go about it, although the process was so simple that almost nobody should need help unless they didn't know the meaning of the word "Install" since all you had to do was boot from that disk and then follow the prompts.

With that said, MacOS 6 hardly did anything, so no surprise there.

Comment Re: LG TV with WebOS (Score 1) 27

Not only is the UI shockingly bad their remote is a mess and of such poor quality that various buttons require 'Hulk Smash' level key presses.

My take for my device LGUT80 is that it sometimes stops listening to remote input. Sometimes I have to use the button to turn it off, and it only has one button.

Both sides are part of the same group of fuckers selling out our entire future by avoiding substantive change. The Democrats literally spend money to make sure actual progressives get defeated. While you get slightly better human rights for now when you elect Democrats, their decisions are still dooming all of us.

There is nothing about ICE agents dressing as proud boys or vice versa in that link even if were from a credible source.

Your brain is cooked. This is the obvious result of making "democrats are pedos" your personality and then finding out Republicans will shut down the government to prevent you from finding out how many of them are pedos. The question is, why are you so pro-pedo?

Comment Re:Where’s the new Bottleneck now? (Score 1) 32

With PCI reaching these speeds, Iâ(TM)m left wondering; what is the bottleneck now? Is âoestorageâ on these systems a silly concept because itâ(TM)s essentially ALL high-speed cache in memory

PCI isn't reaching these speeds any time soon. But that aside, the limiting factor depends on the workload. Which kind do you want to know about?

Also, that whole backward compatibility thing? Stop it.

Are you seriously saying you want less compatibility? Weirdo.
