Unfortunately systemd isn't solving anything, it is a elephant sized turd that introduces too many ways to be misconfigured and causing security problems.
It may remove some work for some people but it adds a lot of work for system managers by new binary logs in formats that can't be processed without special tools and a headache when it has to be reconfigured to suit the specific environment it's going to be used in.
And still there are people swearing by systemd - probably because they never have to provide support on the production systems that runs it.
Another contributing factor is that if it's hard to configure right then there will be security holes causing a lot of headache for system administrators. In most cases as long as you get something working you are satisfied even if you don't know why it's working - and then you may have a security gap the size of Grand Canyon in place as well.
And it's the same with every manufacturer these days with the possible exception for some odd specialized phones for seniors that lacks all the functionality we expect of them today.
And how much of the Anti-AdBlock measures were circumvented within a few minutes?
Most of Anti-AdBlock is easily circumvented, and if it can't be circumvented the site goes off the list of sites worth to visit.
There are a few exceptions of sites where AdBlock isn't needed because the ads are minor and the value of the site is high, but the papers Bild and Die Welt aren't on that list.
Except that it defines the contradiction of being liberal.
The legislation has definitely not anything at all to do with being liberal - unless you look at it from the perspective of The Ministry of Truth in the Orwellian world. It's all about controlling the thoughts of the population. Also realize that porn with women with small boobs is prohibited in Australia.
Vir Cotto - well, he transited quite a bit, but that character developed quite nicely. When you look at Anakin - you can't remold the shape of a face that much unless you have a severe accident.
No, that's not the problem. The problem was the re-edits of the old movies where things like the sarlacc was changed for no useful reason, the original Darth Vader actor was edited out and Hayden Christensen was edited in instead of finding a Darth Vader actor that did resemble the original Darth Vader actor in the death scene in Return of the Jedi. (Anakin in first episode was not a problem) But the transition from a kid with rounded features to the thin Hayden and then to the more rounded features of the face that Darth Vader had in the death scene annoys me more.
Smaller changes that aren't obvious to the watcher - they don't make things worse or better, at least when it comes to background items or pure graphical enhancements of stuff that weren't good in the original movies due to the fact that special effects weren't good at that time.
You may be annoyed with Jar Jar Binks, but in the first movie C3PO was an annoyance. But his character actually got better over time. Initially the way Yoda talked was also an annoyance. So forget about Jar Jar and figure out that there are worse problems.
What's possible to be more annoyed about is the story incoherences between the original movies (Episode 4 to 6) and the newer movies (Episode 1 to 3) where some things went on in a way didn't make sense to someone that had seen the original movies. Luke was a teenager and considered to be "too old", Anakin was a lot younger and still considered to be "too old".
Slashdot Mirror
Might be the choice of distro that I'll go for next install then.
What's the upsides?
The major downsides are that it's impossible to figure out what's going on and that the log files are binary instead of using syslog.
It's still a bug in systemd, there's no excuse.
Looks like we have a nuke installed in our system that's just waiting to explode under the right circumstances.
HP-UX.

I'm just waiting for the first major security hole in systemd due to the case that it's trying to do everything.
AROS anyone?
Or used as a monitor to a PC if you are lucky.
To some extent it makes sense, the video on demand is an option, but it depends on the TV set or a separate box.
The problem is that it's not the IT managers that decides what to use these days, it's top level management.
Because their NDAs prohibit them.
Except that the manufacturers have transitioned from screws to glue to screw with us.
Lead is poisonous if you ingest it, but working with it on a daily basis when repairing stuff isn't that bad if you don't lick your fingers.
CFC isn't comparable, it's causing atmospheric damage instead.
Except that modern phones don't even have screws, they are glued together.
And it's the same with every manufacturer these days with the possible exception for some odd specialized phones for seniors that lacks all the functionality we expect of them today.
That's the most interesting part.

And what if you make one from wood? Insanely dangerous to shoot with but a fun exercise.
Just mail some 3D blueprints to every .au address you can find. That would spice up things a bit.
"From: primeminister@gov.au" of course.

And depending on which government you are under it may vary what's lawful.
What Blackberry says is just "We aren't secure anymore, so if you have concerns pick Android or Apple".
Compared to the competition Firefox isn't bad at all these days.
