Congratulations!

I love BBEdit.

We've already established that they are perfectly capable of ignoring people.

The only people they listen to or care about are domestic nazis. Those nasty regimes should just register accounts on KiwiFarms and then CloudFlare will bend over forwards to help them.

Now do the scenario where the police help the Neo-Nazis commit the murders, but will not protect the library.

Because that's CloudFlare.

They are both caching, which is hosting. We'll leave out that DDoS protection is a PII nightmare, and that CloudFlare is essentially spyware. For now.

Their reasoning is the best that they could come up with under pressure. Which is to say - lol.

Kiwi Farms recently DDoSed a suicide prevention hotline.

So you are factually wrong.

This is a truly wonderful example of corporate communication that should be taught on university communications courses.

Because it is absolutely the worst example of not even bothering to lie to CYA I have ever read.

Which of these options worked for you?

It's a Dunning-Krugerish non-solution, sold as an init system trojan that is replacing more and more of the OS with less and less understanding of how it would need to work in order to do so effectively. It's a monolith that is almost pure attack surface, which requires the rest of the OS to change to work with it, thereby making it part of that monolith and extending the attack surface.

Every admin issue I've had over the last decade save two has been due to SystemD. I'm not opposed to change, but I'm also not going to embrace change for its own sake, particularly incompetently designed and implemented change.

Then we get to the project's social problems. But people get very defensive about that, so I'll just point out that if change is such an unalloyed good we certainly can't argue against changing away from using SystemD, can we?

These wouldn't be FOSS, and wouldn't have the effects people hope for.

This article is status signaling, not critique.

Yes, yes, people are such snowflakes now, who would have been offended by for example being called a communist or gay in America in the 1950s?

There is absolutely a dynamic of status anxiety to some of this, but to claim that this is all that is happening amounts to asking some people to be bad bayesians.

So yes I don't want tribal society. But you can't privatise the public problem of people who are organizing to actually physically harm you, where they are, as a personal moral failing of being insufficiently stoic.

Political action rather than spiritual retreat is needed.

Or git, as it's known.

C doesn't have strings. ;-)

Eggs. How do they work?
