Remember the good old days? When your parents were afraid that this rock and roll music would fuck up your brain and make you a useless idiot? Maybe you're older and TV is the culprit. Or younger and game consoles and D&D would turn you into a drooling moron? Or even younger and your mom would routinely raid your room to find some "killer games"?
Every single generation had its demon that destroys our kids, turn them into raging maniacs or listless vegetables or some other reason why they would turn out to be a lost generation. There was even a time when Tom Sawyer was threatening to destroy our youth. But the youth that grew up with that stuff grew up and guess what, the world didn't end. And those now grown ups knew that this isn't a threat to development because, well, they grew up with it. But they also saw that their spawn wasn't the way they wanted, so some new demon had to be found. One that wasn't around when they grew up, something new that's strange to them but beloved by their kids, and since they don't understand just what their kids would like about it, it has to be evil. Addictive. Because it sure has to be addiction if they can't figure out the appeal while their kids can't get enough of it.
So the torch of being the scorch of civilization was passed on to radio, later TV, then rock and roll, D&D, computer games and now we're at tablets and phone games. Did you notice something lately? Namely that the "killer computer games" narrative kinda died out? That's because the kids that grew up with those "killer computer games" grew up now and are the new parents, while the number of parents that never played games but have "unruly" teenagers at home gets smaller and smaller. Be prepared to not hear anything about the dangers of computer games anymore in a decade. Maybe by then we also can get rid of those ridiculous censorship of games in a couple countries.
But don't worry. By then we will have a new demon we can stick our fault with raising our kids to. Because seeking the cause for your kids' being assholes and idiots with yourself is complete unfathomable.
Well, judging from Europe and how the police works there... maybe the police would still knock on doors if they could expect you to open the door instead of fire when they do?
Especially in a hostage situation time is on YOUR side as the police. And if you know that it is a hostage situation, you must expect that the person answering the door is a hostage. The very first thing you have to verify is the identity of the person, If you find out that it's the hostage taker or if he tries to get back inside, you still have all the time in the world to shoot if you're so inclined.
Usually it is not necessary, though. Hostage takers want something, else they would already do what they threaten to do. No need to take someone hostage if you only want to kill him.
I usually don't wish anyone anything ill, but I do want to see you in this situation, where you're sitting in the peace of your living room and suddenly all hell breaks loose, sirens blaring, people screaming at you through megaphones... and then I want to see you keep your cool and be all considerate and collected.
People react not very rationally in high stress situations. You might have noticed that. Maybe being raided and having a swat team kick down your door is your daily routine, I don't know, but to most of us, it's not. It's a very unusual, very stressful situation that few of us have ever and hopefully will ever go through.
This is actually the question that's asking for an answer.
People develop shabby software for Linux all the time. That happens daily, multiple times. For every good project there's at least 100 crappy ones. So it should be no surprise that there is of course also a crappy init process.
The actual question is why it became the go-to init process for all major distributions.
Funny that it's a German company. "Cloud" is pronounced exactly the same as the German "klaut", which means "he/she/it steals", as well as the imperative plural of "steal!"
I'm pretty sure Wolf would turn green in envy when he could see just how easy it could've been. All the time and effort he put into it... only to see capitalism succeed yet again where communism failed.
This is the kind of company you want to make deals with concerning spying on your voters? If they can't even keep their own crap secure, do you think they will keep your shady deals with them from public eyes? From the eyes of the people you want to spy on that you on the other hand also want to vote for you?
Yeah. Smart move. Then again, we didn't exactly expect you to know anything about IT anyway, considering your track record.
The problem is that for every sane Youtuber with a halfway decent following, you have an army of idiots that BLOW YOUR MIND, can count to 10 and show you a million things to do to your hair (with a link to buy the crap in the description, either as a promo-link to Amazon and the like or they run their own crap already and bypass the middleman when it comes to swindling teenies out of money).
Not to mention the criminally insane, from apricot-core eaters to flat earthers to the politically-religious, ranging all the way from the kill-the-fags right wing nutjob to the kill-the-cis-males left wing nutjobs.
My only hope is that they are SO many and fracturing their user base SO widely (because they themselves can't get along) that they splinter it up into so many insignificant groups that they in total don't matter.
That's what the last paragraph was supposed to say. It's only useful in deserts and other areas where you don't have easy access to drinking water, and there, the air contains little water.
And yes, the hygiene aspect is another thing that wasn't even touched yet.
Don't we already have enough scam artists peddling this? Elementary physics will tell you that it doesn't work. Pulling water out of air works. Yes. But you need to "harvest" a LOT of air and dehumidify it. There's even already machines that do that. They are called dehumidifiers, aptly named. And that takes a LOT of energy. If you plan to do this by solar power, be prepared to drop some pretty penny (and dedicate some real estate) to collecting that energy.
This is only feasible in areas where water is scarce and hard to come by. But guess what: Those are also usually the areas where water vapor in the air is scarce and hard to come by, and hence the whole deal doesn't work!
Guy got 75k out of it and gets arrested and fined 50 grand on top of having to forfeit everything he gotten that way. And confined to his home.
Say, how again were the C-Levels punished whose criminal negligence caused all this to happen in the first place? A couple millions probably. And confined to the home they built with those millions, I guess.

Today he'd probably turn it into a YouTube video named "Listen to the death of this gamer!"
It's not about the money, it's about sending a message!

Wait, giving out wrong addresses is criminal now?
That's gonna show those bitches that give me fake phone numbers, I'll sue!

Sorry, both I knew either deleted their YouTube channel or maybe YouTube did it for them, I don't know.
Considering what we use those things for, I'd be more scared of one that enjoys its job...
Trump is the voice of the proletariat... holy fuck, I guess I was more right than even I feared.

Communism is the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Democracy becomes more and more the dictatorship of the proles.
I think I have the title for a new book: When egos collide, the Microsoft story.

I do. But I don't remember what the shirt was about. And frankly, there's no need to remind me, I didn't give a shit back then and I still don't.
Now where's the kickback in that?

It is in active development?
So there IS hope after all?
Ladies and Gentlemen, you see the Dilbert Principle at work.
See what happens when you make shooting people to get rid of them illegal?
