In the dark ages, Mosaic downloaded Firefox and IE. Time truly is a wheel.

Best use of chrome is downloading another browser.

Yeah, the instruction set and the implementation in hardware is absurd at this point.

AMD and Intel have already partnered on killing x64 in the longer run and work is under way.

Normal as in the existence of a coupon doesn’t determine if I fulfill my needs at a store.

I shop for convenience and brands I prefer. One store has some items I prefer over the others. That’s to say I shop like a normal person.

Nobody said it made the list for you. The idea was moronic that it would tell you when to get these things. Which is idiotic because YOU ALREADY NEED IT.

If you relied on shitty software less your reading comprehension would be better.

It doesn’t make sense to me and I’ve got three grocery stores and a walmart within miles of me.

I got what you were saying, it’s just not something I can imagine ever caring that much about. Either I need a notebook or I don’t. I’m out of grapes and want some or I don’t. I don’t need a shoddy piece of software to tell me any of those things. And attempting to micro optimize for sale events? Like, this just isn’t a sensible way to live your life.

Same kind of people that think we can effectively pump enough CO2 out of the air, and other idiotic climate solution magic. Wishers that want to keep consumption at all time highs, basically.

I’m not sure how that’s a useful thing besides convincing people to spend money on something they done need? Like, you either need a product at the grocery store or you don’t. I don’t need corpo bullshit ad bots to beg me to buy shit.

You missed the part where the latch is deforming, causing it to not close or alert the driver. The software fix is yet another attempt to dodge the fact that they do not have enough repair capacity or financial reserves for a major fleet recall.

You can google for cloudflare issues ranging from providing hosting for actual nazi sites to extorting customers by threatening the exact scenario se saw in this blog post. Feel free to google “cloudflare account suspended” to see many posts about people having not just DDoS mitigation disabled, but everything related to an account deleted and disabled. Many of those people had the audacity to, get this, rely on DDoS protection! The nerve, right?

Not just “this case”, there’s been countless cases like this with CF.

Not a huge surprise, they’ve got a long history of doing all kinds of scumbag shit. Nobody should be surprised when the leopard eats their face.

By that measure every lithium battery manufacturer is “little known” then.

It wasn’t sensible, given the short life of DNA. One of those sci-fi ideas that caught media and technophile attention, but wasn’t ever going to go anywhere.

Project Silica appears to be attempting very high density, very long life storage, though.

You’re missing a TON of history here. Like udev being a dependency to all those projects AND systemd, which led to systemd adding it to their project. Really it could be said that udev is the critical component here.

As you mentioned networkmanager, you clearly know that many popular distros use that rather than systemd-networkd.

Grub2 is by far the most popular boot loader, so far ahead that it’s not even worth considering others. Grub has had several major issues, every distro uses it, why not pick on grub as the risk?

Did you have these same concerns about sysvinit? About the various distro network scripts? What about libc? Good god if there’s a problem with libc we’re all in deep trouble.

Yes, code has bugs. But New code has new bugs (ironically an argument previously used against systemd). Whatever you replace these components with will be just as likely to have a critical vulnerability, but far fewer maintainers and resources to fix it. Systemd has simplified and improved features of so many parts of Linux that it’s funny to see how vehemently people argued against it. Feel free to disable any parts you don’t need, but I think you’re missing 20 years of painful history that led us here.

When selling out goes mainstream…

I think you mean to ask your question to the original poster, not me. Since I didn’t bring it up, only comment on it. But I get it, you miss your friends.
