Does Wayland do EVERYTHING X does?

That's not a fair question. Do you use EVERY feature of X? Let's not forget there are some features of X that you SHOULD NOT use, because those features are horribly insecure, especially on modern systems.

Does Wayland do what I need? Does Wayland do what I want? I've been on Wayland since 2021, because the answers are yes and yes to those much fairer questions.

really? with your id?

Get off my lawn!

Almost a perfect summary, but I wouldn't say it's always out of a patriotic duty to oppose. Sometimes it's about extracting a concession, even for something they already want. Image this.

Management: We want to double your wages.
Union: But what's in it for us?
Management: <blank stares>
Union: Tell you what. If you agree to extend our breaks from 15 to 20 minutes, we'll agree to your onerous and burdensome wage-doubling scheme.

That sums up a lot of American politics.

In other words, Google finally has what is effectively an infinite number of monkeys devoted to language.

And it still can't accurately translate the works of Shakespeare.

If four days is more productive than three, then three days must be more productive than four.

DEMAND A THREE DAY WORK WEEK!

INTERVIEWER: We expect our employees to work 45 hours a week. Are you ok with that?

ME: Depends. Will I be an hourly employee who is paid extra for those extra hours?

INTERVIEWER: Well, we expect a certain amount of productivity from our employees.

ME: What if I am so amazingly productive that I am able to accomplish in 40 hours what takes everyone else 45 hours? Is it ok for me to go home because I accomplished my tasks, or do you still expect 45 hours.

INTERVIEWER: We still expect 45 hours.

ME: That says you care more about my hours than my productivity, so I should be paid by the hour.

I didn't get the job, but I'm glad.

The Final Cut (2004 film)

They used atomic clocks -- which measure time in subatomic particles -- to see if there were changes in subatomic particles over time? It sounds to me like they did not think this one through.

Does that 30% more to "charity" include tithes and other donations to their church? If so, then they are buying their places in heaven

Bullcrap. God cannot be bought, and heaven is not for sale. The Bible does not link money to admission or spiritual power. In fact, attempts to do so fall under the sin of Simony.

Might there be a some corrupt people thinking that way? Sure. But don't paint everyone with such a broad brush of corruptible, self-serving behavior. The Church has many true believers with good hearts and cheerful, selfless givers.

Perfect is the enemy of good. For all of my use-cases, good is good-enough. Then again, my use-cases are not your use-cases.

Now, you have piqued my interest. What sort of use-cases do you have that are dependent on a specific init system? The only thing I can think of is something so integrated into the low-level OS stuff, like starting/stopping the process, or system logging, that it will require a lot of development work to rewrite for systemd.

Care to fill me in?

This should be modded funny, not insightful.

I don't know why everyone is complaining so much about systemd. It works great for me.

FYI, I'm the guy who makes airline seats so comfortable.

That's why I defend my 2nd amendment right to silencers. When I have to shoot someone in self-defense, I don't want Big Brother picking up the supersonic double-crack from my pistol. I already "solved the problem." I'd rather Big Brother doesn't stick his nose in my business trying to double-check my work.

I agree with you. That doesn't make sense, especially with what USPS employees have told me first hand. The short version is, since they are going to practically every house every day anyway, it makes sense to increase the volume per drop to offset that cost; otherwise, the per-drop cost for just one/two pieces of mail would be huge.
