I have also been using Linux for 25 years. I do not see how systemd has improved anything.

For those who have been asleep for the last ten years: the left claims that *everything* Trump does will be an end-of-the-world disaster. The left has barely finished screaming about how dropping a few bombs on Iran will start WWIII. Just like Trump making fun of Kim Jun Un will start WWIII.

The left is also screaming about how 14 million people will die if Trump stops some obvious government waste, fraud, and abuse.

None of this stuff ever happens. It is just propaganda.

BTW: diversity hiring is a civil rights violation, and - in the long run - the worst thing you can do for minorities.

Also origin stories. I think 4 out 5 fantastic four movies are their origin. Same with superman and spider, and probably all of them.

I think one reason for that is, those are the types of movies that people might prefer to watch in a theater. If the story takes place in homes and offices, and there is no magic or explosions, you might as watch it on TV.

I used to go the theaters all the time, no I hardly ever go.

In no particular order:

1. Way to expense for an experience that, at best, is marginally better than watching it on television.
2. Annoying people in theaters who talk non-stop and use their phones.
3. Movies are not very good. Uninteresting stories. Uninteresting characters. Rehashed woke crap. Nothing that is thought provoking in the least.
4. Time travel and parallel universes mean that nothing that happens actually happens, so who cares? Main character dies? No problem, some time travel will fix that right up.
5. It will be streaming soon enough anyway.

I used to be able to stream smoothly with Firefox, now I cannot. I don't know what changed. But I gave up on firefox for just this reason.

> What stops Microsoft from locking down Office?

Commercial interests. If MS betrayed the trust of the customers, that brazenly, it would not be good for business. MS is an international company, they do work for, or represent the USA.

BTW: I am no fan of MS. Far from it.

I hate to say it. I have used Linux as my primary desktop for 20+ years. I am using Linux now.
Most of LibreOffice is more than adequate for what I do, but Impress leaves a lot to be desired.

Because only Republicans have been in office for the last 50 years?

I have some old floppies I want to get date off (if I still can). I have some old floppy drives around, but they don't work, even on my ten year old desktop.

The article seems to agree with the guy on slashdot.

> “I’m an optimist, in the sense that I think we will build a sustainable future,” Wagner says. “But it’s going to take 30 or 40 years, and by then, it’s going to be too late for a lot of the creatures that I love.

I think BSD administration is easier, and much more UNIX like.

For example, If you want to use a static IP instead of dynamic, it is a very simple one or lines to change. And it stays the for years, if not decades.

With Linux, first you have to consider which distro you are using. Then there is a systemd way of doing things, and a UNIX way of doing things.

I find BSD more straight forward and consistent.
