It is also the version control system that uses sqlite which is pretty cool as far as disk space and resiliency are concerned esp. as compared to Git.
I don’t however like that it prides itself on not having any history rewriting features because I am kind of a fan of those. I like keeping embarrassing mistakes like a typo’d commit message or missing file out of my permanent commit history.
Of course things are going to break if you take something that’s meant to be installed per-user and open up one user’s installation to everyone else on the system. Not Brew’s fault your company’s IT used it outside spec.
yeah and it can call itself whatever it damn well pleases, the fact remains that such repositories are only as good as the communities that contribute to them and I’d wager that whatever you’re talking about will never at any point in the future have as many packages on it as the AUR currently does
It still leaves sysvinit as an option. Debian doesn’t lock you into systemd. Heck, it doesn’t even lock you into Linux – you can use Debian on top of the FreeBSD kernel if you so desire
It appears I was mistaken – systemd does announce changes to internal interfaces on their mailing list although I can’t be bothered to find out how much warning they give – but I believe my point stands. Regardless of whether he gives adequate warning, he’s still very much a dick about it (“gentoo users, this is your wakeup call”) and he still seems to be doing the embrace-extend-extinguish thing. It used to be possible to run systemd-logind without systemd – it no longer is – and that mail I just linked is about making udev hard dependent as well.
Of course Poettering does not do all the development himself, but he does lead the project and it is his hubris and inability to accept that one size does not fit all that is responsible for the project being as hostile to outside implementations as it is.
Again, it’s not the systemd project making alternatives to widely used applications and daemons (or even bringing development of those applications under the systemd umbrella) that I mind. It’s Poettering’s “my way or the highway” attitude and apparent belief that if your system is not either 0% systemd or 100% systemd then you do not deserve to have a system that works.
Just because millions of people aren’t being systematically executed specifically based on race doesn’t make it not a genocide, and just because someone isn’t literally the single most racist person ever to walk the earth doesn’t make them not a fascist
From where I sit, you replied to a comment about Judaism with a comment assuming the person you were replying to thought the same thing about Islam, and wondered why he got mad.
my god you really aren’t. see the thing is if you look at the meme, it is a humorous visual pun of a picture of dozens of people playing the lute, a guitar-like musical instrument, and thereby partaking in “luting” as a humorous pun on the much-scaremongered-about looting that occurred following the BLM protests in 2020. these people playing the lutes could thus be referred to as “luters”
Different schools of thought in science are just different ways of interpreting the data and different ways of explaining why what happens, happens. Scientists for the most part all agree on what happens. What they disagree on is why it happens and what will happen under circumstances that have not yet been empirically tested.
Of course some science is junk. Sample sizes are too small, or chosen too selectively. Some studies come up with results that are not even remotely representative of the reality. But that reality must exist, whether or not we have an objective way to measure it. And if 99 studies say one thing happened and one says something different, that should give you pause – either that one scientist has tested something nobody else has ever tested and come up with a better explanation for why what happens, happens, or that study is bunk. The only way to decide which it is is more science.
Science is not a body of knowledge. It’s a process. We will never understand every single intricate part of why things and people behave the way they do, and we may never be able to perfectly predict the future, but we can get a pretty good handle on it. When the future defies our expectations, it doesn’t change that what we saw in the past, happened. It just means that there are more factors at play than we thought, and we’d better get our nose to the microscope if we wanna figure out what they are.
You see something. That thing happened. If someone denies that it happens for the reason you think it happened, they might have a point that’s worth listening to. If they deny that it happened at all, they’re gaslighting you.
The earth is getting warmer. That much is indisputable. Temperature records across the globe taken by computers, scientists looking at thermometers, and ordinary Joes stepping out onto their porches and saying “huh, it feels hotter out than usual” all confirm this. People can argue about whether humans caused it. It’s impossible to definitively prove without traveling to an alternate timeline where the industrial revolution never happened, but ALL signs point to “yes”. Scientific predictions made 50 years ago about what the next 50 years would bring climate-wise have come true, and their predictions about what would happen in the 50 after that were pretty dire. It’s impossible to prove anything about the future, as I’ve stated, but someone would have to be a special brand of stupid to take that fact in isolation and use it to advocate against doing anything.
You can believe that climate change is real, because that’s what literally all of the scientific evidence supports. Fine.
You can believe that climate change is made up, or not caused by humans, or not actually that bad, or whatever position the conservative pundits have retreated to nowadays, because you’ve seen some evidence that that’s true. Fine. You disagree with me, but you’re willing to have a civilized debate where either party could change the other’s mind by presenting evidence.
I will flatly refuse to talk to you about anything if you believe that whether or not our planet is getting hotter year over year is a matter of opinion and therefore no more significant than someone’s favorite movie.
You can have a different opinion. No one will hound you for saying… I dunno, Asteroid City was better than Across The Spiderverse. And I’d have some choice words for anyone who did. What you cannot have is alternative facts.
