At least in my neck of the woods, we have ZERO spare water. We're in a 'negative water' situation. Using any water is a problem. That makes the narrative that data-centers are 'water hungry' very effective at causing unrest.

And many places where they put them up, they don't have enough power infrastructure either. So power bills go up as well.

This is why there's no ethical consumption under capitalism. The worst people have the most money because they have no compunctions about harming others.

It doesn't actually provide that because of the things you can't do in unit files without scripts.

When systemd proponents can construct a non-fallacious argument maybe I'll consider taking it seriously

I guess they have to do this. But it will slow down adoption. You can probably get a Linux-capable and about as powerful system for a fraction of that from the Win11 hardware apocalypse...

There are obviously tons of people offering services like that, because there are tons of "students" that do not actually want to learn anything. Most just never get caught. Also, obviously, the students graduating this way will find their "expertise" to be worthless.

Fortunately, there are still (and probably always will be) enough students that actually want to learn and evolve their skills. We educators owe it to them to separate them from the dross though.

There is no value to running SteamOS on your PC over some other distribution except simplicity. If you actually want to do non-game things with it you'll wind up installing enough additional packages to erase the benefit. If you want simplicity, you'll also buy a steam machine, so you don't have to figure out the PC.

Yes, controllers generally cost $80 now. They used to cost $50, but there's this thing called inflation.

You must be somebody that watches porn for the character development and the story...

It gets a bit better when you systematically do "do not recommend channel" on all the YouTube slop, but it is still bad. In particular, channels pushing complete fabrications vor views are apparently totally fine for YT these days. Personally, I just have a small number of people for whom I look at content, and apart from the (rare) doom-scrolling, I ignore the rest.

Seriously, were are we? In kindergarten?

Funny how inhumane scum like you always thinks you are in the right. FYI, you are one of those that make large-scale evil possible because you understand nothing.

There's literally nothing in the history of this project to suggest this is the case. Since day one systemd has had two and only two requirements. Systemd and systemd-journald, and the latter gives a configuration option to simply forward all logs to something else.

Everything else beyond this you think is "required" as part of systemd is exclusively the choice of your distribution maintainer. Direct your anger at the appropriate group.

Manufacturing round cells is a step into the past, not solving a problem of today. Tesla's "solution" to the 4680 problem, solved the problem only if you're using round cells. Most consumer devices (and many cars) no longer do for very good reason.

No, have you not been paying attention to the stories we've run about this on Slashdot?

No it doesn't. The only requirement is that batteries are accessible a) without barriers (in this case meaning non-reusable adhesives), b) with standard tools or where special tools are required that the manufacturer provides these tools (e.g. Apple's lobed screwdriver is allowed providing they ship the device with said screwdriver), and c) the battery available for purchase for 5 years.

Also the commission is currently reviewing if some devices need to be exempt.
