Yes, and some people want that to be the system logger. They don't want to play telephone with journald standing in the middle. It's just one more point of failure.
In my case, I need my desktop to resemble a server because that's where I do my initial testing in rapid fire fashion. But since it's also a desktop, that means it needs to be a server with X and a suitable environment. That's why I object to the systemd cancer infecting desktop environments. If the DEs would just be sane and not depend on systemd OR if systemd would play nice and truly support picking and choosing bits of it, I wouldn't mind so much.
Fortunately, there remain non-Gnome DEs that work without systemd. Of course, the systemd people are advocating for new dependencies as hard as they can.
No, he made tossing out software that scratches other people's itches over their objections so you don't have to bother with co-existing in an ecosystem a bad thing.
Nobody would mind systemd if it didn't try so hard to preclude other solutions.
Have a look at the hundreds of inscrutable little config files under systemd's hood and be horrified.
Somewhere in there and the thousands of lines of C code is the reason that systemd cannot handle a degraded raid or btrfs filesystem gracefully, but even the authors of systemd cannot find it for over a year.
If the init scripts have gotten that complex, it's surely self inflicted damage. Just rip it all out and go with a simple script that just does what is actually necessary.
Translation, the business guy has hired cheap monkeys who turned out not to be able to handle any difficulty.
That's the problem. Anybody can captain a ship in calm seas. It just doesn't take all that much to stand at the wheel and look important if the controls are dumbed down enough. The problem is, in rough seas it takes real ability and controls that haven't been dumbed down to get through it. If the controls have been dumbed down, even the old salts can't help you.
Lift the hood on systemd sometime. Look at the bazillion twisty little config files hidden away in the lib directories. You'll be horrified.
Systemd can't even manage to bring a system up when a redundant drive has failed. Init scripts in the initramfs work around it for RAID by bringiong the raid up before systemd gets a chance to screw up. It's still just plain broken for btrfs.
For applications that have special requirements there, you want an init system that is truly modular. That is where you can just drop in replace the functionality on an as-needed basis. That implies a need for a simple and well documented API/. The APIs involved in systemd are neither simple nor well documented.
Init scripts manage that by not presenting much of an attack surface. They only run briefly and don't typically create a listening socket. The vast majority of them have already exited by the time that even local interaction with the system is possible.
Only the Senate has that power. The Supreme court has determined that the Senate must go through the President, it may not directly enter talks with foreign negotiators.
No. According to the Supreme Court, only the President is authorized to actually negotiate with foreign leaders. The Senate may advise him and ultimately must approve any proposed treaty, but they may only negotiate it through the President.
The executive branch spying on the legislative branch, this seems familiar. Where could I have heard of that before. Oh well, WATER under the bridge. No sense closing the GATE once the horse is gone.
Of course, in this case, the legislative branch is also breaking the law.
I want them to be in 50 different databases please. Ideally with no electronic linking so that if the authorities of one state need info they need to convince the authorities of another state that it is necessary and proper AND create a paper trail. And I don't care to pay extra since we've done just fine with what we have now.
Meanwhile, those extra checks will make un-people. That is, people who don't happen to have any bills addressed to them at their current address and who don't have their SS card (perhaps due to a fire).
If only. It's not just the look of the card, they have to add extra procedure for verifying your ID as well before issuing the card, even if you've had a license for decades.
I'm soon going to have to renew my driver's license. I've been a licensed driver for decades now and there hasn't been a problem. But now suddenly, they want a bunch of supporting ID to prove that I am me. Not everyone has any of that supporting ID. I happen to still get one paper bill, so I can just manage to get adequate proof, but the only reason I still get that is because I knew I would have to prove I am me. Otherwise, it's all electronic.
I can easily imagine what a nightmare a stolen wallet can become now that they can't just look at me and the picture in the license database and call it good. There will probably be a fair number of un-people as a result of this crap.
OK, Republicans, what happened to the government not hassling me? You've had a lock on Congress long enough to fix it, so why isn't it fixed?
It's worth noting that while 50% of all marriages end in divorce, most people who get married stay married. The stat gets skewed by the fact that many who get divorced will marry and get divorced again.
No, you claimed that a market can't be rigged if the transactions are voluntary. I showed three examples off the top of my head of rigged markets where the transactions were voluntary. You further claimed that cornering the market doesn't work. I would say the fantastic profits of DeBeers show that it DOES work. Nothing lasts forever, but it doesn't have to in order to be immensely profitable to a few and damaging to many.
If you're going to move the goalposts all over the place, I'm not going to bother playing.
That includes re-defining voluntary to include coerced by circumstance.
DeBeers was also involved in industrial diamonds which are not at all useless. During WWII, they were considered a strategic asset.
There was plenty of motivation to enter the market, big money is always a motivator.
If DeBeers isn't Scottish enough, consider the Phoebus cartel.
Enron had a pretty good go at it until it got caught.
Then again, not all transactions are fully voluntary. For example, in the emergency room, it's questionable how voluntary the transaction is when the alternative is death within minutes.
It should force it to the extent that it is practical. You provide a perfect example. Cars fueled on gasoline are standardized but differing technology is allowed and provisions can be made for legacy hardware.
You must not remember before the EU insisted on USB charging. Pretty much every manufacturer had it's own plug and charger 'standard'. Replacement chargers, if available at all, were priced as if they were plated in platinum for the simple reason that there was nowhere else to get one from. There was no option for a universal charger or even a charger that might work on more than one phone.
Manufacturers shouldn't waste the people's time and money on non-standard chargers. They had plenty of opportunity to get together and come up with a standard and they didn't even try, so they needed one imposed on them.
So, while the whole banking sector was going crazy and the ratings agencies were committing outright fraud, Bush focused on Fanny and Freddie? No wonder nothing changed.

Given that systemd's whole claim to fame as an init is that it automagically takes care of boot dependencies, that's a pretty big fail.
Something needs to respond to the syslog calls

A few regulators nixing a 2 week furlough and demanding a second and third shift be brought in can speed things up a bit.

Think about it, it'll come to you.

(Don't give me the example of people trying to "corner the market" or "get a monopoly by buying up all competitors", that just doesn't work.)
Tell that to DeBeers.
It was already on life support by then, it had been effectively eviscerated. They just turned off life support in '99.
I would be interested. It sounds like we're pretty much on the same page here.
