see c/UGEM for UnderGroundElectronicMusic. :) (I was going to set up something like that when saw someone else had already requested to make it. Good stuff. Populate it.)

  • Have you tried it?

    It may surprise you how non-non-trivial it is.

    Major re-engineering can stand down. ;)

  • Distrowatch page clicks is a weak measure, and not even one that corroborates the point you're trying to make with your circular definition, with examples that do not.

    "major". So funny trying to pomp it up.

    https://distrowatch.com/search.php?defaultinit=Not+systemd&status=Active shows plenty active distros don't. Some of them are "major", as in [independent and] having been around the longest.

    Not that an appeal to tradition's any more sound reasoning than circular argument and (unsound) argumentum populum. These are not the relevant criteria. All red-herring stuff.

  • And to fold all that into a single point of failure... a single point of failure on PID 1, ... it's almost like they want to create level 10 critical vulnerabilities and backdoors.

    Quick! Put "optional" age attestation (/verification) in there, so we can find out where your children are! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA.

    [To all who are dismissing this as a "nothing burger"] See?

    What could go wrong?

    Way, way, way too much.

  • And yet some have managed to get GNOME working without systemd, with shims.

    And for your cherry picked example for your point about being in 2026, that was 2025. XD

    ... I forget, when did someone get current GNOME working in BSD again? I briefly read about that recently. Was it maybe in MidnightBSD?

  • the major distros use systemd

    Circular reasoning. Not well hidden enough. ;P

    Major distros cannot simply switch to a fork on a whim because they need to be completely sure that it is stable and will not cause any compatibility issues.

    Yes, because that circular definition would then break. LOL.

    No, seriously, they can. Init-freedom is alive and well. Many distros do many init systems. It's not as non-trivial as your scare tactic tries to make out.

  • Y'know it's free software right?

    Distros/developers have managed to get those running without systemd.

    And there are other options too.

    We do not need to just OBEY and kowtow to authority.

    Your argumentum-populum uncompelling here.

  • What's the ol' saying...

    Good people don't follow bad laws.

  • They still have BSD... Ohhhhh wait.

  • Yeah. Ban Linux. Don't get rid of ICE.

    ... Wait, what?

  • nobody is checking this.

    I bet pedos will be very interested in that field.

    Unless you're calling them nobodies. But then that's a bit too "I see nothing" complicity.

  • Helps pedos find your children, is almost lost in the crowd of many reasons to dislike systemd and what it's doing.

  • the shitty features of Firefox can be disabled with 1 click

    per shitty feature.

    There are a lot of those features in firefox. Currently takes me over an hour to try to stop Firefox being a dick, if/whenever I install it. May as well just use LibreWolf, or some other browser or fork.

    Same it systemd and any distro that has it as default. May as well just spare yourself a lot of bother, and just use something that has already removed the malicious "features".

  • Yep.

    We are in a lot of trouble.

    Worsened by all those trying to normalise dismissiveness to the danger.

    [Edit: PS... Germany recently mandated ODF (Open Document Format), to prevent the user-lock-in abuse of proprietary formats, and are pushing for more "Open Source"... so there's at least still some sense in the world. It's not all doom yet.]

  • Oh wait... are you saying that seriously?

    I've been saying that kind of thing satirically, sarcastically.

    ... I guess I need go back and put "/s" on a lot of my posts. I didn't think anyone would take or say such things seriously. ... You're not serious, are you??

  • de-anonymization

    Not just.

    The billionaires and epsteins and ghislaines want to protect our children, by knowing, when tracking everyone, where and who the children are.

    Why wont everybody just switch off their brains and accept this already!?

    Most frustrating.

    ;/

  • Looking forward to seeing some distros that have already been using systemd, switch to such a fork.

  • Yes. Because Rust solves all things, just like that.

  • Pedo billionaires really want to protect your children, by knowing who the children are when they're doing their tracking. Makes it easier for them. Trust them, don't think about it. Maybe they care.
