I always say “if you look at it from the current government point of view, Luke Skywalker was just a terrorist.”

That’s fair, but then stop using the “federation is like email” propaganda.

Brilliant, all the propaganda about “join us, the fediverse is like email” gone to shit. More like “it’s like email, but if you email ends with @hotmail.com we will block your messages”.

I agree with the sentiment, not with these actions, instead of giving meta users a way to break free, we built a wall between us and them, who have way more content, because we’re afraid of Zuck stealing our data, which is public and he already done.

That’s absolutely in your right to do so.

Would you mind if I ask you what did I say that’s considered an asshole move?

Is there a way to technically deliver an unbroken user experience to a thread user without privacy issues?

A failed messaging system that nobody in the world uses except for the Americans?

How sweet.

And having to deal with angry morons that like to argue about everything? Hell, no.

That’s bold coming from the company (IBM) that helped the Nazis organize a well structured genocide.

I don’t like Louis very much, because while we’re on the same team, he’s usually extrem in his opinion, and most importantly, he takes 30 minutes to explain a 3 minutes argument.

But on this, he’s right 100% I watched the whole thing! I’m an ex Netflix customer, btw.

It comes in handy for people who wants to run Linux on their notebook without being an engineer and look at Mac users with envy because of their “ready to work” time on their macbooks of 1-2 seconds after they open the lid.

On a server, it solves nothing.

Your choices of distro if you don’t want systemd are Debian, Void, Artix, and Gentoo, and afaik that’s about it.

IIRC Debian was one of the first distros implementing systemd.

“gentoo users, this is your wakeup call”

that was from 2014.

As a gentoo user, he can go eat some dicks, my system today runs just fine.

“systemd is fine” yeah fuck you personally.

If you like to tinker but still have some consistency, I’d suggest gentoo. It’s been really solid for the last 16 years for me.

Tell me OP is 14 years old without telling me OP is 14 years old.

I got gifted an old MacBook (I never thought of buying one myself) and started using it mainly because I liked the UI, but I’m generally speaking a windows user at work and Linux sysadmin at home.

When I checked up the MacBook systems, I see it has 4 GB of RAM and I thought “that’s pathetic!”

But surprisingly enough, the Mac OS handled everything I throw at him with decent performance and I’ve never felt the OS was overwhelmed.

I don’t know if this is a testament of how well integrated and optimised Mac OS is (after all, it’s still BSD) or how bad Windows is.

But still, for the price they’re charging for these machines, adding at least a couple of gigs of RAM would be expected!

Old sunfire were fun.

LoL my current Gentoo system was installed like 12 years ago and moved on 5 different hardware platforms without a proper reinstall.

I have said myself to never peek in the /etc directory for any reason! 😅

Last time I used Solaris, that thing locked itself if someone casually unplugs the keyboard. Good luck with the WiFi card! 🤣

Oh I remember that, the Linux installer was included on the CDROM, it was very unusual for that time!
