Your sister-in-law?

I didn't say it was better or worse, I said that if you don't like systemd, it's not about you and that's why you don't like it.

As for the Debian team, looking at their prior init scripts shows they wouldn't recognize good code if they saw it.

The scammers have been arrested in Cambodia Thailand and Laos.

It's not clear what spurred the arrests, but it's a good thing.

He did not, in fact, want a meaningful response.

You misunderstood: what I mean is that systemd was never about you. It was about making something that Debian maintainers would want to put into their system, and Poettering put a lot of effort into communicating with them and understanding what they wanted, something he doesn't do for other classes of users.

Which deleted social media post?

Here's an example of a traditional init script. I don't know why Debian wrote such long init scripts but they did. And systemd made the Debian maintainer's job easier. That's why the Debian maintainers switched to systemd.

It wasn't about you, it never was.

The title in the article is misleading. The Bitcoin transactions had nothing to do with Trump. JPMorgan notified the Trump administration of the Epstein related bitcoin transaction.

Returning doesn't mean they weren't tricked. Having choice doesn't mean they weren't tricked (that one in particular is your stupidity; if given the choice to drink cyanide or hemlock, it is still a choice).

You've been around a while, and you are not ignorant when it comes to computers, and yet people who are completely ignorant about computers (and generally incompetent at life) have no problem using Android. The obvious conclusion is that you are exaggerating the problems you had for rhetorical effect.

People who don't know better may be excused, but you have intentionally chosen to be locked in the garden. You disgust me in that way.

Most phones "just work."

That's not an Apple special trait.

That's a hypothesis, but it doesn't explain the change. There is nothing particularly interesting in the current iPhone lineup (one phone is thin, one phone is powerful, one phone is cheap, etc). Of course, carrier subsidization scams aren't new either, so they don't explain the growth.

Somehow they managed to open a new market or market segment somewhere, but it's not clear how.

The concept is cool, but I'm afraid the gameplay would have as much interest as the prompt. That is, the game itself would only be fun for a few minutes.

Use a trash benchmark, get a trashy result.

But hey, at least they got to publish and not perish.

Orphanages exist today; you don't see them because they're called the foster system. And it's still a hard knock life.
