Wow. That's quite the blanket statement.

Do you need your comfort blanket, bootlicker?

Are you a killer? You're the reason Democrats hate guns, they know their own people are mentally unstable and liable to shoot up schools, businesses, and such.

Gun violence is an overwhelmingly reich wing phenomenon.

Transparency is still cool, but only when used on elements which can be transparent without screwing everything up.

I used to use Compiz with Emerald as the decorator and a liquid glass theme. But I didn't make window contents transparent, I only made title bars (and other decorations) translucent. The text and its drop shadow were fully opaque, same for the widgets, so it didn't create any readability problems whatsoever. But it did look neato.

Transparency isn't the problem, overdoing it is the problem.

People died. Quite gruesomely at that. For what turned out to be someone's stupidity, true.

No, for everyone's stupidity. Everyone involved including every passenger was an idiot. The only one who deserves any sympathy was the teen whose father pressured him into it, when he knew it was a bad idea and didn't want to go. Rush has been well known to be dismissive about safety concerns and random people on the internet knew that the hull wasn't fit for purpose and the main window wasn't rated for the depth. If you're getting into an experimental submarine without knowing more about it than people who only learned so they could make jokes about your probable fate, you're a fuckup.

When you combine that with the fact that it's a bunch of rich fucks who we're all supposed to believe got rich through merit in this chickenshit society, schadenfreude is the most appropriate response, and anything else is boot licking.

Claiming it doesn't solve a problem is just nothing more than gaslighting

The initial problem it claimed to solve was needing to write scripts to manage daemons.

It doesn't solve that problem.

Claiming that systemd solves that problem is the actual gaslighting.

Meanwhile it creates new problems. I switched away because I had an early boot problem which systemd's bullshit logging scheme wasn't capturing. It was actively preventing me from addressing the problem.

People who think systemd solves problems are provably the ones without understanding.

The total number of init systems which exist is completely irrelevant to that determination and you brought it in as a distraction.
