It was originally a shitposty way to drown out/protest the overwhelming flood of every goddamn post in the shitposting and meme communities being about American politics.

They need to do way instain mothers

No, if you knock it over it holds nothing you useless prat! God dammit this is why we can never have anyone over! Ten years. Ten. Years! I kept thinking, maybe this is the time you’d be able to- to- fuck it. It’s not worth it anymore. I’m done. I think I’ve been over this for a while now, but it’s real now. You can be here, with your cans and your beans and your fucking shit mess everywhere! Without me.

No, it’s fine. It’s fine! You just go do exactly what you want. What you’ve always done. Just without me now. It’ll be even easier for you. Goodbye.

Sure, and that’s just as valid points against them as well. For my part at least, none of this is meant as some sort of death knell, or direct damning evidence that some software is some sort of terrible piece of garbage.

I just refuse to believe that someone would literally be entirely incapable of comprehending any of the reasons people dislike systems to only be capable of engaging with the criticisms in bad faith.

That only has impact on the security risk surface exposed for your own install and for troubleshooting on your own machine. The maintainers and other coders on the project still have far more space, complexity, and features to cover.

It’s not a death knell by any means, but still a valid cause for concern.

As someone who designs systems as part of his job, “it violates Linux philosophy” is a perfectly valid reason to hate something as critical and low level as an init system.

I think “hate” is a strong word, mind, but following consistent design patterns and constraining scope matters. The problem is that it’s one of those things that doesn’t tend to matter until shit hits the fan.

The scope creep exponentially raises the efforts needed to properly test, troubleshoot, secure, and just generally work with the project code. The unique design creates rough edges for integrations with other pre-existing systems and tools, while also raising the effort needed for troubleshooting when something goes wrong.

There’s also the whole “Chesterton’s Fence” aspect to a lot of it, where the project runner’s overall attitude has been dismissive of existing conventions and separation of functionality.

There’s a lot of perfectly valid reasons to dislike it. That said, I think full on hate is extreme for an aspect of the overall Linux “system” and “user experience” that most users never interact with. Like having an opinion on the order your BIOS handles things in.

Controlled opposition anyone? Reminds me of some of the anecdotal shit that happened around Occupy Wall Street

I, uh, definitely would have worded this with more care, but if anyone believes their side is somehow immune to corporate interests funding or manipulating drama and outrage? It’s dumb to think that the rich sociopaths would uniquely mess with one political side while leaving another completely alone.

Nothing to do with any side being right, wrong, better, or worse. Everything to do with rish assholes being rich assholes.

For what it’s worth, they’re referred to as directories by command prompt and PowerShell (effectively the new Windows command prompt) tools as Windows as well.

Nice fuckin model!

I mean, we can think both are inaccurate and that it also doesn’t really matter, right?

As far as I know, blocks on Lemmy are one sided. As on, you don’t see stuff from who you blocked, but they can still see your stuff. I’ve definitely gotten comment replies from people I blocked ages ago, I just see it as blocked as long as I’m logged in.

Plenty of non-MAGAts with respiratory issues having medical trouble from this.

Ugh, when the food places near my work started recognizing me. Yuck.

What? It’s not even his car, it was a review vehicle provided to him as a car reviewer (his job).

Lol no. Very no. Getting gut shot is a wonderful way to die slowly and in agony.

A new Evangelion series was just announced directed by Yoko Taro. Can’t wait to see what additional batshit trauma he lumps on the characters this go around.

That’s one hell of a story, especially with the little I saw scrolling your profile. Anyway, just wanted to say that a bunch of folks have reverse engineered Lego Island into an open source codebase that they can get running on just about anything now.

You can play it in your web browser even, but it’s a little tough to control on a phone.

This guy has a super deep voice and has voice acted a lot of these “brother, no” memes quite well, including this one

Fucking tease.
