I'm not sure Slackware is major anymore. They haven't really done much to innovate since the mid 1990s. Moreover there are already lots of things that don't run on Slackware. So breaking compatibility won't matter as much. But if you want to count them,, Slackware users are also self supporting.
Absolutely right and well said. Docker is about deploying tons of trusted containers on a server. It doesn't have a security layer. If you want fewer less secure containers you want virtualization.
What irony? By walled garden they mean Apple's controlled ecosystem. Docker is open source and mainly meant to run open source. The standards are open, the working group is open...
Mostly the reason you tail is to take action X if Y happens. That's precisely what systemd is designed to do. So 95% of the reason watch logs just get absorbed. But if you just want to see whatever junk happens in time sequence journalctl does it.
First almost all distributions already go with systemd. Gentoo is the only major holdout and that's harmless since Gentoo is fairly self supporting. Gentoo also doesn't use init they use a very good upgrade called OpenRC. There is no systemd fork going on. I think there are a small group of people who would like a fork but they aren't going to get it.
Second, for the End Use it is fairly easy to imagine what would happen for distributions without systemd. Right now in init people kludge together systems which restart daemons when they have problems or monitor them. Most likely those kludges don't get written when systemd is ubiquitous on the major distributions. Which means end users on init based systems will have daemons go down and stay down or ask for resources and not get them. They'll experience a much more buggy unreliable system. "You have to reboot Linux every couple days otherwise too much stuff doesn't work".

As for the rest reducing the pool of available developers for most choices. This is where it gets tricky. You can look at the distributions overtime and see big differences. Take for example the original (in the USA) big 3 Linuxes of 20 years ago:
Debian -- heavy focus on open source. Willing to be hard to use. Server focused RedHat -- moderate focus on open source. Aimed to be easy for hobbyists. Workstation focused Caldera -- indifferent to open vs. closed source. Aimed for commercial functionality, especially desktop using a Novell LAN.
OK let's go back to that point in time. How do you prevent the original fork? Clearly those distributions served different needs they have different users in mind. Now let's look today
Debian -- meta distribution that is key end users are distributions who distribute free desktop Linuxes or embedded systems. Focused on being the leader in keeping Linux open and free. RedHat -- Enterprise server and infrastructure. Just starting to refocus on embedded. SUSE -- Meta distribution designed to allow for containerized custom OSes for VMs. Android -- Meta distribution for touch enabled ARM hardware
Again very distinct user bases. Arguably on that list SUSE and RedHat could merge. But beyond that, where do you a merge potential?
The Gnome foundation which owns the trademark on the word Gnome, the foot logo and all project assets asserts that Gnome3 is the new Gnome. Yes it is Gnome.
Cut the nonsense. The GP pretty specifically asked how he was supposed to read binary logs. Computers don't have problems with binary formats raw, humans do. For that sort of work you don't use a regex you just work directly with the binary. Things are easier not harder.
But even if you did want to translate the binary format into ascii using a computer you just have a journal parser do it. systemd comes with one systemctl and you can use that and ask it to pass you information meeting certain conditions. There is a separate api and the scripting languages are moving towards being able to read the format.
Worksheets are too complex to use. The navigation isn't intuitive. First off worksheets should open in edit mode. The sample values in grey shouldn't be zeros but rather something like a valid sample calculation or the manual should have a walk through for each worksheet and when the user hits manual it goes to that page with a sample. I'm a pretty smart guy whose been using advanced calculators for a quarter century and I can't figure out how to use most of the worksheets.
I doubt systemd will be needed for the kinds of tasks you'll be running on a server that has no GUI. But if you want to read the logs, mount or copy them to a machine with a GUI.
1) Gnome and then more software depends on systemd 2) Debian doesn't want to fix those problems ergo: easiest solution is to make systemd the default for Debian.
This would be a fight and Debian decided not worth it.
Let A by GPL app as submitted. Apple adds a provisioning file / code to it for the version that is distributed, call it A+. Since A+ is a derived work of A it must be GPLed. Since Apple is distributing it they need to GPL A+. But the source for A+ requires Apple's key. think that's where the copyright violation the key not the version of the application created by Apple.
BTW I'm a user of your app, replaced pcalc as my primary calculator. So thanks!.
Heck I have a machine that has all sorts of problems with Linux for 2 years running now and it is a fairly common configuration. I have the rMBP doesn't work. Linux doesn't handle asymmetrical graphics processors. It doesn't handle rescaling required for retina to work right. It doesn't handle the system's wifi or bluetooth.
Linux desktop support is getting worse not better since the commercial desktop Linuxes: Mandrake, Xandros... died.
There is no hidden clauses anywhere. They have a whole website on security where they discuss this. Nothing remotely hidden about it. The license agreement specifically indicates where you can find this information.
Moreover the customers using Azure i.e. the developers are expected to understand this, they aren't end customers. There is no anti-export clause of Azure it is a pro-export clause. When it is uploaded to Azure you have already told Microsoft that it is legal to transport the information to the USA.
The people using Azure are exporting their data to the USA. You may not like that, but that is the status of the data. Same as if they sent it to a USA hosting provider directly.
They data is not on European servers. It is on American servers in Europe. That is unambiguously specified in the Azure agreement. Moreover those servers are not operated in Ireland. Some of the operators are Irish. But their are American operators.
And there would still be a US subsidiary for that purpose if needed.
A US company is considered to be under FOCI (foreign control or influence) when a foreign interest has the power, direct or indirect, whether or not exercised, to direct or decide matters affecting the management or operations of the company in a manner which may result in unauthorized access to classified information or may affect adversely the performance of classified contracts. Such a company in ineligible for any facility security clearance (FCL). A US subsidiary won't cut it.
You'd think "life plus 50 years" would be reasonable enough, but the US has been strong-arming countries to extent copyright 20 years. (until the next extension)
Point taken. But they aren't applying massive pressure to Europe like they do in other countries i.e. no imports. They are being obnoxious and trying to change the law.
Let me ask you... European governments are strong arming various USA states on the death penalty by both enforcing patents and not selling drugs. What are your feelings on this?

Debian aims to be a meta distribution. Gnome is the most popular Linux distribution. Debian not supporting Gnome would be a very very big deal.
Remember Gnome was essentially born from Debian not supporting KDE and the acrimony from that lasted a decade.
Mostly the reason you tail is to take action X if Y happens. That's precisely what systemd is designed to do. So 95% of the reason watch logs just get absorbed. But if you just want to see whatever junk happens in time sequence journalctl does it.
Yes, the AC is right. But more importantly the reason you do that sort of thing is to create a trigger. systemd is designed to automatically trigger.
What fragmentation? The only distribution not moving towards systemd is Gentoo and their users are self supporting.

Then just use systemctl and have it read the format. For that matter just write the trigger in systemd and skip the whole issue of reading the logs.

Oh OK well if you want criticisms:

so far writes log.
I doubt systemd will be needed for the kinds of tasks you'll be running on a server that has no GUI. But if you want to read the logs, mount or copy them to a machine with a GUI.
There are several GUIs the big 2 are: Kcmsystemd (KDE) and Systemd-ui (low dependencies).
The situation is pretty simple.
1) Gnome and then more software depends on systemd
2) Debian doesn't want to fix those problems
ergo: easiest solution is to make systemd the default for Debian.
This would be a fight and Debian decided not worth it.

MOIL does not run Azure.
The data is not 'in the community". That's how Microsoft is getting around this. When it is uploaded to Azure it is already exported.
Your sentences don't even make sense.
