> And in the United States, police can execute you without a trial just for being black.
Are you lying or just amazingly ignorant?
Blacks kill other blacks *far* more than police kill blacks. When police kill blacks, it's usually justified, if it's not justified, the police are prosecuted.
> Do you think a reasonable person looks at a carton of "Soy Milk" and thinks that it is milk from a lactating animal?
For over a century, that has been accepted.
Now that an increasing number of people are ditching dairy, all-of-the-sudden, it is assumed that people will be confused between "Milk" and "Soy Milk."
Why aren't people confused with a carton just labeled "Milk?" That could giraffe milk for all the label tells them.
I think what any reasonable person could conclude is: the dairy industry is trying to use the courts, and government, to whack the competition.
According to the doctrine of laches: failure to assert one’s rights in a timely manner can result in a claim being barred by laches.
The term "Soy Milk" used for over a century

So why is it a problem now?
Maybe because more people are using dairy alternatives, and the dairy industry doesn't like that?
I used FreeBSD for my desktop for about two years.
There is a lot to love about FreeBSD. I think BSD would make a better server than any systemd linux.
However, if you want up-to-date desktop apps, FreeBSD does not cut it. I think other versions of BSD would be even worse.
I felt lucky to have apps that were only one year out of date. A lot of things, like dropbox, will not work at all.
BSDs are dependent on linux for their apps. Everything runs in a linux compatibility layer. If linux apps ever become dependent on systemd, that may be the end of BSD.
Maybe the best solution for systemd haters is Devaun?
With high-speed internet, who needs a cable box? Just stream everything.
Seems to me everybody is cutting the cable. I did so myself years ago. $150 a month *and* watch commercials? No thanks. Roku, Plex, and a digital antenna, and that's all I need.
How is Time-Warner a bargain at $85 billion when nobody wants to watch commercials, or pay for cable?
The one I especially like about my old Chromebook is that's it's cheap. It cost me about $150 when I bought it, years ago, I could replace it for $75 today.
I take it with me travelling, it's small and light, the batteries last like ten hours, and if anything happens to it, it's no great loss.
$500, when I can get a decent windows laptop for $300, seems a bit much.

I've been using Linux for 20 years, never had those problems.
Microsoft needs to get something out of partnering with Red Hat.
Systemd is not really Linux anyway.
One of the best Black Mirror episodes, IMO.
If you shut down the FDA to dairy lobbyists would just find somebody else bribe.
Oops, I mean contribute to.

> the current (largely vegan) trend to call everything under the sun 'milk'
Current? The term "soy milk" has been used for over a century.
I think "Milk of Magnesia" is older than that.
That is not an "easy solution."
Companies sink very significant amounts of money into brand names, and those names can be very valuable.
Tell Disney they can "easily" change their name to "Desney."
Remember the "Mike Rowe Soft" debacle? Why couldn't Microsoft just "easily" change their name to avoid confusion?
The term "soy milk" has been used for over a century. Significant amounts of money have been spent on packaging and branding.
What about "Milk of Magnesia?" Does that come from a mammal?
Also "Apples" are not computers.
Product names do not have to be literal descriptions of the product.

My understanding is: LFS mean copy-paste-compile everyday, for hours. You need to repeat that cycle about 1000 times, maybe a few thousand times.
Even if that does teach you something: I suspect there are more effective ways to learn UNIX/Linux.

Honest question.
What does SuSE offer that I cannot get from other distros?
I doubt Slackware has much value to enterprise users.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I could hardly imagine an enterprise with hundreds, or thousands, of servers running Slackware, or Gentoo.
Time is money, and the considerable extra maintenance expenses cannot be justified.
Slackware and Gentoo are fine for home users who dont' mind mucking around with the systems a lot.
I am running a Gentoo varient myself.
> I would love to use a modern, well-supported enterprise-grade Linux distro that doesn't use systemd.
Why not use Devuan?
There is tons of pirated material on youtube. Then there are the google books.
I guess wants to eliminate competition.
I bet Apple halfway wishes they could just do away with laptops and desktops. The real money is in the phones.
Why is the USA giving 20% of it's uranium to Russia?
Everything since then has been total crap.
I have been hearing good things about thorium.
"Hacker" is not a technical term.
The word "hack" has been used for all sorts of things: cab drivers, writers, prison guards - not to mention smokers and hacky-sack players.

> Why does Poettering still have a job pushing systemd and pulseaudio all the discord he's sown?
Because Red Hat, and it's business partner Microsoft, want to effectively control the Linux universe.
Can't blame them, they are public corporations, and their first duty is to their shareholders, not the Linux community.
Fast, stable, flexible, and systemd free.
Like old (real) Debian, it has excellent package management.
Other distros get more bloated, less flexible, and more authoritarian; Devaun embraces the true ideals of Linux, and UNIX.
