Not to mention that if you take two similar 20 year old diesel cars, a Ford and a VW, the ford will be easily recognizable by it spewing much more black soot and barely passing the emission test.
No, dependency-based init is nice and all, but you shouldn't need the clusterfuck known as systemd, even the shell scripts of insserv+sysv are dependency based.
It doesn't provide more useful features as socket activation is just lennarts mental masturbation, on most systems idle processes can get swapped out and even embedded systems with 16Mb RAM don't seem to have issues with loading everything sequentially at boot.
Timing out by default instead of just waiting for a device is just stupid.
Are you saying a small box is going to stress a connector more than a cable hanging off or a dongle?
"any reasonably thin laptop" is probably going to require an hub/dongle to be useful anyway.

Let's see:
- Firefox still has a customizable UI and chrome doesn't, you can have everything back with classic theme restorer, even UI elements from 10 years ago, and you can export your customization to a file for everyone to enjoy.
- Firefox is rolling out a multiprocess model that doesn't just blindly give a process to every tab
- Firefox still has better resource usage when you open more than 5 tabs
- Firefox ESR has been much more stable for me than any chrom*
Shut the fuck up, they've been designing electrolysis to use a sane number of processes in order to reduce memory usage, do you know any other modern browser doing that?
It's especially annoying not being able to check the weekly weather on a "smartphone" because the developer decided to implement a cache that is invalidated after few hours
