Your first question is a challenge to understand and could do with clarification. The second question is orthogonal to the disputes and membership situation, and may be unaffected if the people involved don’t conflate the two.

Ha! They used to run Unix.

Or …so I hear.

“Systemd is built badly by weaponized dunning-kruger” – pros

World: surprised pikachu

33 years with Linux (kernel 1.2.13, slackware). Worked at a distro. Worked in OS security – Unix and enterprise Linux. I helped build United Linux out of the dismembered corpse suse kicked over the fence as ‘collaboration’.

Because of the validation issue in the .deb package format and others, I’m on a mixture of Rocky and Nobara.

I’m subscribed to cloudLinux’s tuxcare enterprise updates for some older stuff, and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s excellent; and if almalinux releases their sLTS distro release and actually covers it for 25 years, that will be such a coup.

I’m worried at the direction Linux has been taken by IBM and I hope it can be unfucked one day. I miss the reliable, fast boots and uncomplicated tooling before this systemd shitshow.

Apparently it’s back to cursive as well.

The only solution is a pivot: the component needs to be dead to us now; and forever, too, as they’ll erode privacy and leak p-i-i at the drop of a hat.

Poor people have a smaller tax burden for their socialized healthcare. “Don’t pay taxes” isn’t a “poor” thing.

So lennart personally blocked the revert? Fucking on-brand for all he’s wrecked in Linux.

Is he still working at Microsoft, or was he just too special for them too?

If your business is critical for modern human living, it should be non-profit. It should be guided by the best management plan of the time, debated and approved by the majority of shareholders. It should open its books and stay open.

Really, it should be government.

begged two important questions

Nope. It just raised them. That reporter needs to go back to school.

More gear into the second market. Nice.

BSD isn’t Unix. It’s fairest to say it is a Unix. Unix was built in Murray Hill and maintained by a succession of corporations and now sits locked in a safe at a company where they will never have the clue or interest to maintain or distribute it, thanks to IBM. Everything else is just sparkling multics.

And it’s neat to see how well IBM killed the competition who dared to cry code-rape.

Fuck no. He’s fucking done enough.

I say that as a long-time Linux user, a developer and a security researcher. He’s set us back a decade with his metastatic cancer.

Talents leave

Tell me a “journalist” has no concept of mass nouns without using those words.

It’s a known bug that lemmy/fed may need to address. I regularly see 7-10 copies of the same post, not linked, not deduped.

supportive of our ask

Nope. Your request or your question, but unless you’re on the used car lot, never your “ask”.

Fucking shingles? Nope.

At 5 times the population, I’d hope so.
