Systemd is certainly a radical change. It takes over everything. It completely throws away POSIX, and the UNIX philosophy. Systemd changes everything that made Linux, Linux.
And for what? I see no substantial improvements. Just the opposite. I see a less stable system, more difficult to use, everything is hidden from the users.
Systemd may benefit Red Hat, but it does not benefit anybody else.
Amy Schumer often blames her audience for Amy's own failures, usually calling them "haters."
Must we like everything the industry poops out?
Lots of people hated Linux before Linux had a whopping 1% of the desktop. Lots of people hated, and still MacOS, even though MacOS has a small share of the market.
Systemd is only on about 1% of desktops, but lots of people hate it.
People hated Unity, even though it was only on a small percentage of desktops.
By "get out" I mean no military intervention, no foreign aid (except for emergencies like natural disasters), no weapons sales, and no immigration by mid-eastern nationals (except for very select cases).
1) Money, and weapons, always end up in the wrong hands. Hamas is getting their money from Qatar. The US gave Qatar $11 billion. We might as well have given the money directly to Hamas. ISIS is using US military equipment. There are many more examples.
2) The US will be blamed, and hated, even more than it already is, by everybody in the world, especially Muslims. Any military intervention will be called an invasion. The US will be accused of killing civilians to steal the oil of whatever mid-east nation we are "helping" this week. If we help tribe A, tribe B will hate us even more. Then tribe A will hate us as soon as we stop helping them. All casualties will be blamed on the US, even if most casualties are the result of Muslims killing other Muslims. And there is always that one-in-a-million soldier that does something completely out of line, and that is all the media will focus on.
3) The US can no longer afford the outrageous expense. The US is drowning in debt. Our credit has been downgrading. Our economy is in the toilet. Yet we borrow more billions from China, to give to mid-eastern Muslim who hate us.
4) There are no "good guys" Does it really matter if Syria, or Iraq, or whatever, is ran by insane Sunis, or equally insane Shites? Our friends today, are our enemies tomorrow. I believe both Saddam Hussan, and Osama bin Ladan where our buddies at one time. Between Assad and ISIS, who is the good guy? They all seem like murdering thugs, why pick sides?
5) Even if you win, you lose. Over ten years, and I don't even know how many billions of dollars, or thousands of lives, or how much suffering, in Iraq. And now Iraq is being overrun by ISIS. Even before ISIS, it was non-stop terrorist attacks. If we stop ISIS than what? Peace for two weeks?
6) Other than buying oil, the US has no business there. Clearly the US does not want another nation interfering in our politics. In only stands to reason that other nations do want the US interfering in their politics. The US may have good intentions, but other nations will not see it that way.

There have been thousands of tweets threatening to assassinate Trump, or offering money for somebody to assassinate Trump.
As long as the tweets are leftist extremism, they are fine.
However, posting something truthful about Islamic extremism can certainly get your account suspended. Tweeting anything the left does not want people to know can get your account suspended.
The original chromebook was cheap, light, booted fast, automatically synced files, and required practically no maintenance.
I bought one for $150. Still use it all the time. It is great for what it is.
Once you put a more powerful intel processor in it, and put a more capable OS in it, you lose everything special about it. No more fast boot, long battery life, cheap price, etc.

JMHO, of course.
> Really? You pay to watch HBO shows? Honestly?
Yes. During Game of Thrones season, I sign up for HBO GO. It's only $15 a month.
> I have better things to do with my money than hand it to fat-assed programming executives who can't come up with original ideas.
Why will anybody spend millions to create great content, if people like you are just going to steal it?
I think object oriented works better in theory than in practice.

Hardware has improved, but software bloat just eats that up anyway.
The Windows 2000 interface was better than anything MS has come up with so far.
MS-Office is not much better.
Ubuntu has been going downhill since 10.4.
I suppose there has been some progress, but not much.

Guess it depends on who you read:

Android for desktops. Have not tried it, but it looks promising.
I think MX Linux uses systemd.
Manjaro OpenRC seems to be getting rave reviews.
It is based on Arch.
Could not agree more. I stopped using Ubuntu when they went to Gnome3. Gnome3 is a complete POS.
Maybe Drudge has the right idea.
Social media means censorship (brazen and hidden - i.e. shadow banning), obtrusive advertisements, and spying.
Might make more sense to go back to websites.
How can you get so much wrong in one short post?
> Look at Microsoft. One browser. One Office suite.
Lots of browsers are used on Windows. I use LibreOffice on Windows.
> Now look at Linux. KDE vs. GNOME
Okay, that is true.
> EMACS vs. vi.
Lots of editors are used with Windows.
> BSD vs. Linux.
BSD is not Linux. It would make as much sense to claim: "MacOS vs. Windows"
> It's the Organized Religion of software, with followers locked in endless battles over which system is The One.
Hardly exclusive to Linux. There is MacOS vs. Windows, Android vs iOS, Firefox vs. Chrome, many competing applications.
> Religion never finding true peace is exactly why Linux has never found the Year of the Desktop.
No. It's all about the apps.
MATE is far better than Gnome 3.
I use an antenna, and also add Rokus, and have Plex on my FreeBSD desktop.
During "Game of Thrones" I sign up for HBO Go - it costs $15 a month.
I also sign up for netflix off and on, and may go with Amazon Prime, since I buy stuff from Amazon anyway.
Works great, I am not missing anything.
There were thousands of tweets threatening to assassinate Trump. Twitter had no problem with those.
Just wondering.
> Some Trump supporters do support the idea of violent extremism
Do they? I do not remember any violent extremism coming from the Trump camp.
Seems to me all the violence has been on the anti-Trump side:
1. Hillary hires violent thugs to disrupt Trump Rallies - as was proved by the Veritas project.
2. Hillary supporters beat down homeless African American woman.
3. Hillary supporters beat down man in Chicago, and steal his car, because they thought he voted for Trump.
4. Hillary supporters abduct and torture mentally ill man because man supported Trump.
5. Violent riots when Trump was elected
6. Violent riots when Trump was inaugurated

Probably millions of chickens, and ducks, have been culled. Last count, I heard, about 180 people died from it China.
It is all over the world: China, Greece, France, Thailand, Germany, and the USA.
The epidemic has hit Tennessee, and maybe Alabama.
Just another reason to avoid chicken.
You are almost describing a "Pocket PC"
IMO: those were way ahead of their time.
They create jobs, right?
What is the battery life for this notebook?
The original chromebook was cheap, light, booted fast, automatically synced files, and required practically no maintenance.
I bought one for $150. Still use it all the time. It is great for what it is.
