I don’t think this is the dick swinging contest you want to have with respect to Linux.

Serious like a great file system that is ZFS?

I never had a problem with systemd init despite its quirky habits like just giving up if a mount is bad in fstab, and I rather like systemd-networkd over the other four or five ways of managing the network. Systemd-timesyncd isn’t bad either.

But this, systemd-logind worrying about stuck processes in userspace is exactly the kind of scope creep that ends up justifying a lot of the hand wringing a decade ago. This thing bit me when it came out in a couple different ways and I am unapologetic in my dislike for it. So much so that it has caused me to drift away from Linux where I can. Even though it is a simple fix, I’ve become fatigued with userspace chaos.

Time to re-evaluate what the bazaar has become. Systemd is a common complaint, but it isn’t the only contributor to the fatigue.

Keep in mind post tax income sources are king when retiring before age 65 and looking for ACA subsidies.

That isn’t what the person to whom you’re responding is saying.

Morse code is very much like a language in that there are audible intonations that differentiate between See, Aye and Tee. Being able to copy that in your head is the same as listening to English and not needing to reach for the dictionary every other word.

I think this is a pragmatic healthy way to enjoy someone’s work. It is pretty much how I go about it. And it helps that my heroes are all long dead (Michael Collins, for instance ).

Where I think that does not work is when there is a deep resonance in shared experiences, these two had many including some really dark problems of addiction and thoughts of self-harm. I think the author is calling out all of it.

Are you serious?

Only in the last week we have Sony deleting paid-for movies. That is pretty anti-consumer.

I realize all of this is empirical, but the term enshitification just didn’t form out of thin air.

Algorithm analysis and numerical analysis are nothing BUT math.

Such is life.

Me losing $500 to Musk’s clever idea is still me losing money. It isn’t like this is a normal market event.

If it is not the end of the world, cover my losses.

Is it when X is clearly engaging in creative financial engineering with a goal of maximizing their value.

Madoff’s scheme ran for nearly 15 years, starting in earnest possibly 20 years before that.

I think “long” is very relative to the scam.

Carvana has been written about in the WSJ in glowing articles, that now have shifted to a questioning tone. This may be that inflection point.

And their tax efficiency over mutual funds when outside tax advantaged accounts.

Maybe a comprehensive privacy law that bans the sale of location data, how is that for a start?
