Use what works for you. Develop what scratches your itch. Don’t tell OSS devs who are volunteering unpaid labor what they should do for you. If you want a solution that’s non-systemd go for it. If it doesn’t exist make it or pay someone to do so. Write from scratch or fork a project and get to work. That’s the way of the Bazaar. I’ll be in my unenlightened “things work for me good enough” Linux world using what works. Systemd is fine and rarely gives me problems. Actually, I’m not even sure I can remember any. Huge thank you’s to the devs who make this all possible. You rock!

I thought NASA has mostly removed Microslop from places like the ISS after they had the microslop windows laptop infect those systems on the ISS? Why go back to this garbage on important facilities?

It only happened in the last year, or even the last six months to truly be in effect. It was a huge position shift for the German government as part of their effort to increase skilled worker immigration and retention.

Even a toga is an option. It's not "normal" most places, but if you wear reasonably covering clothing and get your work done anyone worth working for won't really care.

I don’t feel this push for locking us out of control over our own systems under the cover of “protecting the children with age verification” is anything more than a continued effort to secure a DRM-based hardware system for the MSFT OS and media companies. This smells just like their pushes in the past to steal control over hardware through legal channels. It’s the same war we’ve been fighting for 30 years now. Read up on the Clipper Chip from the 90’s. What’s old is new again.

When we had flagpoles we had a pile of flags to fly. I’d get most of them on AliExpress for cheap. Universities, states, cities, vikings, pirates, scifi, pride, peace, extinction rebellion, etc. I love flying something for larks more than anything else. Fly what you feel, it’s your flagpole.

I was on the Tesla 3 waiting list many years ago. When I hit the top of the list I wasn’t totally ready to buy it just yet so I stalled. Eventually I got moved to the Tesla Y list and again waited while family things sorted out. In the end, I got my reservation money back and I’m very very very glad that I didn’t buy: A new car for no real reason (I drove my 2004 Subaru for another 10 years or so) A car product that’s turning out to be of terrible longevity From a Nazi Drove the 2004 Subaru until we sold it and moved to a country where we don’t need a car at all. Much better way of life.
