Politics of equality

Block neo-nazi blue-yellow flag covers

Vanguard revolutionaries are closet authoritarians capitalist reformers

linux with runit or s6 and no-systemd minimalism

I fix old machines, from PCs to flat heads and pushrods

EVs are the number 1 threat to the environment, unrecyclable toxic waste with a 5y life expectancy

    The majority of people speak of junk/fast food 3 brands of soda, 2, 3 brands of coffee/tea, 2 brnands of tropical fruit ,3 brands of power-drinks, 3 brands of beer,
    as nutrition, 2 brands of phone OSs, and it is all crap if not bad for you.

    So what is your point?

    What is popular is what has been marketed, and it is usually both dominant and a very poor alternative to what it sells for.

    Init is just one process, 98% of systemd is its logind, or its isolated fork called elogind, and its multilayered dbus labyrinth, which all those mentioned use. Running gnome and its applications without it is nearly impossible
    @Rustmilian

    The one article almost literally says if you don’t like systemd go to F**BSD and away from linux!

    But yes, there are those irrelevant 3 mentions in a site as old as systemd itself.

    And they have made money not by sharing but by monopolizing and selling, which makes them who they are.

    You are a foul if you think a for profit (even non-profit) corporation will have an interest advancing Open and Free software. They are there to OWN code and trade names, MARKET trade names, to defeat alternatives that lack corporate/banking funding.

  • 2 Do you honestly think one can just make a fake account up, register, and publish an AUR pkg with rogue code that easy? There are checks for code whether it is safe or not, whether it is asking for right elevation, altering the filesystem’s rights, etc.
    You are making it sound like registering for X and publishing a tweet.

    3 The most dangerous software I see on AUR is browser bins by the BIG NAMES not the little script stuff.
    People are afraid of people instead of large corps
