Build what, exactly?? Perhaps this should be determined first.

You mean Trump?

Usually he wears pants.

False. Asshole.

You are wrong, but even if you are right, my logic is still better than the IAU, since not even Earth, Jupiter, or Neptune have completely cleared their orbit.

A) You are an asshole.

B) Absolutely false.

C) You tried to deflect from my main point by attacking a strawman, which makes it seem like you don't even understand 4th grade logic. Next time address the main point: UEFI was not designed with security as a priority, which invites security bugs in the implementation. They are almost impossible to avoid.

UEFI is not secure, and you are trying to play logic games to avoid that fact. The systems you design are probably all insecure, because demonstrably you can't use logic.

A dwarf planet is a subclass of planet.

UEFI was not designed with security as a priority (that is, in UEFI, security is an advertising point, not a security point). Compare the design methodology to OpenBSD software.

The result is that there are guaranteed to be other high severity vulnerabilities, not yet found, in UEFI. Your network/system design should take that into consideration, and not rely on UEFI being secure.

If your system does rely on EUFI being secure, then it's not secure.

Think back to 2+ years ago. January 2024. What sort of government did we have? What Administration was in office?

From the Wikipedia:

" and the Bureau of Land Management extended the auction to January 25, 2024 to allow for increased bids.[14] In 2024 the remaining reserve was sold to the highest bidder, Messer Group.[15] "

And, perhaps, you begin the effort by 0) migrating the documents, all of them, even archival docs, to earlier and earlier versions - reducing dependency on features perhaps not supported in your POA platform, and 1) testing against the POA and refining.

Drop-in replacements for Office do not exist. Nothing out there. So downgrade and find a POD that can be supported.\

Seems pretty basic, just costs in the preparation.

Good point.

But if any two issues are related in some way, I would suggest that by force, those issues have more than one dimension.

"they have been more then forward with their intent to replace us all with AI and robots"

Citations needed. Focus on the word 'all'.

I get the anger towards technology displacing human workers with no apparent plan to re-employ them elsewhere. But this is just the latest in a series of such revolutions. AI isn't replacing plumbers any time soon. Unless the AI can direct robots to manufacture housing with preassembling utilities, but that's a fantasy away from happening.

I was repairing desktop calculators for a while until they became too cheap to bother. I repaired typewriters and older, more proprietary word processing systems, until PCs took over. Then I went into the PC service and support business. And the PC networking business, because networking was a thing. Then an ISP, because the Internet was seriously sucking the air out of the world. Then I migrated into support and customer service, which after 17 years became much less demanding of head count, and now I've retired, 50 years after those nixie tube calculators sat before me and my soldering iron. There is more after this particular bubble. Watch. The real threats are philosophical, disguising as politics and religion, of which they are neither. Ideas spur more killing, because it is in the end all ideas.

Watching chip fabs, housing, and so.much.retail being built around here, I think you got to get out more. Data centers are experiencing another in a line of booms, as new tech spawns new needs. Most of the complaining about data centers seems to be more hate the rich, with AI the current boogeyman for that. And many construction trades are shorthanded.

Besides, Microsoft is probably admitting they are going to do fine with 3/4 of the head count they had yesterday, and that's rarely a bad business decision, unless you subscribe to the theory that they never really knew what they were doing, which explains the billions. Not.

SO narrowminded I'm genuinely surprised you can use words with more than 2 syllables.

Oh, along those lines, it's well reported that Hyundai used systemd in recent models of their Tuscon braking system, Samsung used systemd in the Galaxy Note 7, that Toyota used systemd in their 2009-2011 accelerator systems. In addition, GM is rumored to be using system in their recent models of Cadillac, Chevy, and GMC; especially in the braking system.

Systemd makes an explosion everywhere it is used. It keeps the old rust off the tires.

Because it is a tool aimed at distro builders. It does the things they want. That doesn't mean it's good design, and it doesn't follow the Unix way.

Lennart Poettering kissed distro builder's asses until they included his tool. Once he got it in, he did whatever he wanted.

Literally every monolith ever is a collection of smaller parts.

Your example proves you don't understand monoliths. For example, it is perfectly possible to use Google Maps without using Google search, even though they are both part of the same monolith. "using" and "not using" aren't what determine a monolith. What determines a monolith is improper separation of concerns, and that is a design mistake made by systemd.

Systemd is a monolith.
