Some people don’t realise that when Gnome started making use of Logind, I actually wrote the patch for that. I ported GDM onto Logind. But when it did that, I was very careful to make sure it would still run on ConsoleKit.
Actually, the stick is the fact that Gimp and some other notable software now depend on systemd. I have no idea why an image manipulation application needs any particular init daemon, but that is the case.
Factually, the only "notable" software that depends on systemd is gummiboot.
Except that the ACA had laudable goals and was basically embraced by everyone except the Contrarian Party. Systemd has no such support and nobody wanted it from day 1.
systemd has the full support of the American Communist party.
That's not specific to the US, the UK (and I expect any other "anglo saxon" country) is the same.
In my case it was fixed by having the vice Consul of the British Embassy phone up the low level fonctionaire at the town hall and read out the apropriate places in the French Code Civil that said an affidavit was good enough.
The political system it described was impossible -- there was nothing stopping the "veterans" stealing everything.
In any republic the voters can vote themselves benefits, it's one of the downsides of a representational system. Given that in their system you had to volunteer and endure hardship before getting suffrage I think the voters would actually be more reasonable than the ones in our system.
You're thinking about it wrong -- in that system the voters are a minority of the population. There has never been a situation where when a minority of the population controlled the levers of power they didn't profit from it.
The first thing I'd expect to happen is that the "veterans" modify the rules so only children of a "veteran" are "veterans". Next they'd change the rules so only non veterans pay taxes. It's the perfect setup for an aristocracy (i.e. feudalism/warlordism).
As for the old "the voters will vote themselves benefits" complaint against democracy -- it's an often heard complaint. Can you point to an example?
Well, we know that gnome doesn't depend on systemd (as of gnome 3.14 at least) because Debian Jessie includes gnome 3.14 and only one package in Debian Jessie depends on systemd, gummiboot.
It's nice that the gnome devs have confirmed that this situation will continue beyond 3.14.
If they have storage capacity for short winter days, an eclipse should be nothing.
That's a big "if".
The answer is that they, like everyone else, have essentially no storage capacity. On dark, windless days they burn coal and import nuclear electricty from France.
(On bright, windy days they export electricity to France for basicly zero cost).
the main problem behind their problems is that they're selling projects at prices they have made up as if cheap movable labor was as efficient as good labor and their prices were not designed for the safety specs necessary AND they didn't even have the fucking design when they were selling it. like, they didn't have the control system designed by the original date the plant was supposed to open. how the fuck do you sell billion dollar projects like that? answer: the french.
Well, no. The Germans actually.
The EPR is such a fuck up because AREVA made a joint venture with Siemens to design the next generation of reactors, merging the German Konvoi design with the French Framatome designs. The idiots at AREVA forgot the whole lesson of French nuclear history -- build lots of identical plants, making only small evolutionary changes.
The EPR is a bit more powerful (1650MWe) than the 1500MWe N4 reactors, but it was stupid to start with a whole new design 20 years after building the last one.
My understanding was that it was still a mixed economy republic without the organized business and labor groups that would be required for a fascist system.
Which is what makes it obvious that the book itself is propaganda written by that government.
The political system it described was impossible -- there was nothing stopping the "veterans" stealing everything.
It would be like telling the story of the Lord of the Rings from the viewpoint of Sauron and making it very sympathetic to his viewpoint too, portraying Gandalf as a stupid idiot sent to torment him.
Slashdot Mirror
The systemd team was pushing for that, but the Gnome team made it an optional dependency.
It was Lennart Poettering who wrote the code that made it an optional dependancy. Is he "the Gnome team" or "the systemd team"?
Did he add that code to Gnome?
Yes

What distro?
What versions?
What w as the error?
Have you made a bug report?
Here's a link I have handy to where he was pushing it for Gnome.
And that dates from 2011, and when the consensus went against him he specificly included code in Gnome to make it not depend on systemd.

Why do you support those idiots?
Because they own you, fool.
systemd is Roko's Basilisk.
Hahaha, some of you guys are so fucked! :-)
And then you try leaving the country with a passport with no visa or entry stamp. Be prepared for a few hours of questioning.
Yup, I'm going to be keeping an eye on http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/france/
Wonder if we'll see an effect on the German export/import dial?

It can generate 3GW. That's big.
But what is it's capacity?
The upper reservoir on Little Back Creek has [...] storage capacity of 35,599 acre feet (43,911,000 m3).
When generating power, the water flow can be as much as 13.5 million US gallons (51,000 m3) per minute (850 m3/s).
So it can generate 3GW for 51,660 seconds, about 14 and a half hours.
It's capacity is 43GWh.
Better not have more than 14 hours of windless days.

If anyone knows why Gnome chose to depend on systemd, please let me know.
I can't see how you expect a useful reply to this question since Gnome doesn't depend on systemd.

That sounds like a good film.
Maybe you could get Michael Moorcock to write it.
Or maybe Kiril Eskov.
No I'm not.
i / j is operator/ (int, int)
x / y is operator/ (real, real)
That is the very definition of overloading.
Ok, now modify the code to split on white smiley face characters.
> Using the shift operator to indicate stream I/O seems like one of those "obviously bad choice" kind of things.
Operator overloading in general seems like one of those "obviously bad choice" kind of things!
Yup, nonsense like:
Bloody operator overloading.

Hey whaday know, it does have git. I hadn't noticed that, thanks for the tip.
