I don't understand your response. You say it's a systemd fail but then you mention its a libidn2 bug, which is an experimental library not used by systemd.
I mean I get it. A poor user compiled systemd with the experimental libidn2 instead of libidn and was exposed to a bug in the non-systemd library, but because it has systemd in the title we need to defend this poor user against the anarchy that is systemd.
Or maybe experimental libraries are experimental and not shipped by default for a reason. But systemd bashing is fun so don't let facts get in the way.
No, the real problem is that a library, Libidn, that's used by resolver libraries including that apparently shipped with systemd
The real real problem is even less severe than that. The bug is in libidn2 not in libidn. Libidn which is what systemd ships with doesn't have the issue. You need to specifically force systemd to use an experimental library that it is not shipped with by default to trigger the bug.
It doesn't matter if it was an external library that systemd used that's responsible. Systemd is responsible for the problem because it uses this flawed library.
Except it didn't. Systemd uses libidn. You need to specifically compile systemd with 2 separate flags in order to force it to use a library that is marked as experimental.
The real problem is users are stupid and other users justify their actions in an echo-chamber because systemd! *froth from mouth*.
Use the "labor force participation rate" metric, not "unemployment".
Applying clearly defined statistics is not the goal. The goal is to drive policy by a number. That number needs to be understandable and achievable. By the definition used a 0% unemployment rate is achievable, a 100% labour force participation rate is not. So while you have created an easy to measure number you have not provided us an easy to understand goal as a result.
This. It only becomes a lie if you change the definition to suit your narrative. If the the definition stays consistent then it isn't a lie.
Plus I have no problem with the economist's definitions given that unemployment is a "bad metric", whereas someone not actively looking for work (rich, stay at home parent, taking time off etc) is not necessarily a "bad thing". The goal of an unemployment figure is to create a metric to drive it down as far as practical. If you include people who have no intention of looking for work, what is the point?
* thegarbz and the rest of the systemd fan club start pretending that just because this one bug isn't serious, the rest of the problems with systemd and its developers aren't real.
Oh no I saw that step. But we've filed it with the rest of the bullshit and hyperbole in its rightful place.
The things about gateways, is that need to leave the user wanting more. Outside of a professional setting there's very few people who actually need even 5% of what Photoshop offers and are perfectly fine with Elements, and that was before their "we deserve to rape you in the wallet... repeatedly" licensing strategy.
Actually opened and marked as as a known issue by developers themselves as news long before some idiot user compiled a non-default setup with an experimental library and was SHOCKED! SHOCKED! I tell you, that he found a bug.
A bug was noted in an optional library that wasn't default for any release of systemd. The following release of systemd downgraded support of the optional unused library libidn2 to experimental. A pull requested was put in the bug tracker by the maintainer (not Poettering) to fix this in the future. Some dude compiles a piece of software with an experimental library and... wait for it, this is the best part... he notices a bug.
It makes front page news and Slashdot users start frothing from their mouth in their stupor.
And you wonder why complaints aren't taken seriously by developers. *golfclap*
Oh my god, these things won't explode and take your head off. Just hit it with a hammer which will make it catch fire and when it's done throw it away.
There's thousands of Youtube videos of people doing just that. In the grand scheme of activities it's relatively safe.
No, what I want is for the world to get to a stage where cheap-shots against America don't exist. You could start by taking some responsibility for your energy use.
Yes because being able to tweet is in exactly the same league as the primary event being unable to take place. Last I remembered when I had no coverage at a sport event I just kept on doing what I paid for which was watching the sport.
Yes I have. Last I heard none of the sports required an active internet connection and none of the spectators could not watch the sports without those internet connections.
I also remember that internet didn't work well, we had stories about it, but in general there were no major complaints from people because there were also no expectations, and certainly no refunds because someone couldn't tweet something.
This is a massive fail for a company that's primary product relies on a cellular network to function.
Agreed. What I disagree with is that it was "obvious" to anyone who is an event planner.
tl;dr, this is like organizing an Oktoberfest event and forgetting to bring beer.
Nope. It's like organising Oktoberfest in a brewery and assuming the brewery will have beer.
All the examples you gave are "standard" event management items. There's nothing "standard" about an event that is expected to have 20000 with active mobile connections. It's not something taught outside of IT, it's not something that is considered for any other event, it's not something that has been experienced in the past.
It's easy to criticize the things you know. Not so much the things you don't.
It's recommendations like this that are the reason for America's incredible high emissions per capita stats.
Running a full powered PC from an era that didn't concern itself with efficiency, in a field (servers) which didn't concern themselves about efficiency instead of a small appliance that should use less power than an energy saving bulb.
But when it is time to vote.... screw that, let's stay home.
Are you surprised? Why not describe the two events: a) a group of devote fans have the opportunity to participate in a rare event with like minded people to do something in their hobby that is effectively limited to this one opportunity (there was apparently all sorts of special things you get at this event). On a weekend no less.
vs.
b) a group of people who don't give a shit about politics get to cast a vote about which turd smells the least shitty with the wonderful promise that regardless of what they do, they will be smelling the shit for the next 3 years. Oh and you need to fit it in with your workday.
If voting weren't compulsory in my country, and I had the options you guys had, you wouldn't have been able to pay me to get out of bed and vote. Well maybe on a Saturday and only if there was no queue and I was going past the polling booth anyway.
This week it's definitely the game / server load. Normally though, I don't hear about much of a problem (I don't play but everyone else in this house does).

Pixel art? Pffft. You can paint the Mona Lisa in Paint.
but nothing beats win+r mspaint ctrl+p crop save
winkey "sni" select area save. It's shorter and faster.
It's the quickest way to paste a Printscreen and crop and save to a file.
I used to think that until I discovered the snipping tool. I don't think I've opened Paint on purpose* since.
*I got a new work computer and it defaulted to opening BMP files in Paint.

You didn't read their FAQ:
Q: Will Paint.NET ever replace Paint in Windows? :-)
A: No.

Any explanation for this piece of shit problem, asshole?
Yes. libidn2 is not a default and is marked as experimental and not ready for use. Also libidn2 isn't maintained Poettering.
Now what would interest far more people is, do you have an explanation for being an unbearable cunt?
No. It sounds like you're well and truly a distant opposite.

and people love to tweet
Yes because being able to tweet is in exactly the same league as the primary event being unable to take place. Last I remembered when I had no coverage at a sport event I just kept on doing what I paid for which was watching the sport.
Ok just stop. Have you heard of the Olympics
Yes I have. Last I heard none of the sports required an active internet connection and none of the spectators could not watch the sports without those internet connections.
