The first thing I do on installing Linux is nuke NetworkManager and it's ilk.

There's no reason a smart TV MUST have an account with the manufacturer or seller unless they want to enshittify it.

You may want to have accounts with various streaming services or perhaps you just want it to stream video you have on a NAS.

On the other hand, take notice. There's a bunch of ideas being kicked around out there to subject ALL drivers to an automatic intoxication screening, even life-long non-drinkers. Might be worth looking at what could go wrong.

So let's not poison the sea life with mercury from coal and choke the birds on smog.

Nuclear could be a good option if we would actually reprocess the spent fuel.

That also explains the hairball of dependencies.

Back before systemD was even a consideration, I just wrote a wrapper script that waited until a dependency was ready, then started the dependent daemon.

Parallel start-up was a thing before systemD as well.

I wouldn't mind so much if systemD would stay in it's lane and just be an init system.

Which might actually improve the Win 11 experience.

Why do employers and bosses demanding return to office hate America so much?

And the fed is careful to manipulate the market to keep unemployment from falling "too" low.

I do sometimes choose an item that is not the cheapest in the store for reasons of quality.

That's one of the ones I was thinking of. :-)

I would say that very very few people out there are not vulnerable to delusions. Entire sectors of our economy run on delusions.

Thanks for your questions, Freenet caches data but it isn’t meant to be a long-term storage network. It’s better to think of it as a communication system. Data persists as long as at least one node remains subscribed to it. If nobody subscribes (including the author), it will eventually disappear from the network. So yes, if only your node subscribes then the data will only exist there and won’t be available when your machine is offline. But if other nodes subscribe it will be replicated automatically and remain available even if your node goes offline.

My current keyboard has soldered switches as well. I went with the blue switches and they really do feel a lot like my old keyboards did. That'll be good enough, I have a decent solder station.
