You say that, but why have nearly all distros moved to systemd?
RedHat staffroom politics and Gnome club politics. It's addressing the non-problem of a bunch of things being under the control of a lot of different people instead of just under Lennart's control. The "faster boot" never happened and was never a big deal outside of systems too small to sanely consider systemd anyway - the old init not doing much is faster than starting the systemd "cathedral" to not do much.
I complained about that on an earlier systemd article - the official fanboy response seems to be that because Lennart didn't write it ZFS on linux sucks while systemd is wonderful despite not working properly yet. So I went back to RHEL6 and an init system that's been tested enough before release. My home system is a recent Fedora - I just gave up and I've been starting ZFS from the command line on login after about the third change where systemd went from being able to start ZFS to not.
The above can really just be summed up as "it wasn't all a single project, but it is now with systemd". Progress certainly did happen before systemd started and there was no actual problem to be solved like there was with pulseaudio or NetworkManager (the old system was clunky with laptops - of course the new one now sucks with everything else).
PERHAPS someone could define what was broken so badly in init that the whole lot was replaced. I so dearly would like to know.
Apparently not enough of linux userspace had Lennart's name on it. It's being widely adopted because he's convinced a few gnome people to make their stuff rely on it and the gnome stuff is popular. I really don't know what RedHat was thinking when they put someone who thought it would be a nice joke to call a frequently running process "rtkit" in a position of responsibility.
You seem awfully thin skinned in your denial of the obvious with some pretty fucking extreme edge cases. Yes it's nice pretending the people beg because they want to and not because they have fallen through the gaps in society so that nobody gives a shit if they live or die, but it's not a very realistic way of looking at the world is it? If there are a lot of them about it's a symptom that somebody running the place has seriously fucked things up. Is your denial a pretence that your political team has created a perfect society?
Yep, all of them live in nice houses just like this cancer woman cured it all with her diet. All completely proven. Now where is that bridge I can sell to you.
The Russians almost have the technology to go to Mars, but not quite, and Von Braun's body is a moulderin' in the ground so the US isn't building anything that can get much mass there any time soon.
But here the needs of the donor and/or lobbyist outweigh the needs of the many, so that the many get fucked over until they actually get some honest representation.
It is hard to see how anyone can credibly claim that works are "lost" to the public domain
Because some rent seeker can no longer make money from a work produced by someone else it is "lost" to a world that sees things in only monetary value.
I blame Rumsfeld and his "warrior" bullshit instead of recognising the value of a professional modern armed force. The toy soldier spooks don't help either - even as a civilian they are very clearly toy soldiers playing at being James Bond to me.
Wouldn't it have been polite to at least read my earlier post that contained the words "Sure, it's fraud, but just treat any panhandling story like a circus act because there's a damned good reason to make it more appealing than accurate". That would have saved you a lot of time and made you look a bit less ridiculous if you'd done that wouldn't it? I suppose it's more dramatic to disagree with a strawman and paint a lot of beggars as master criminals, but it makes you look like a far worse person than you probably are.
How much panhandling do you have to do to buy a "nice home"? Such bullshit is the same sort of reality denial as falling for this cure cancer with diet scam.
Wow! How did something so out of touch with reality get modded up? Is it because it makes people feel better about ignoring the homeless by pretending they are better off than you?
They are attacking him for attacking people that hated America
Such as the US Army? Try again sunshine. He was a prick with no sense of morality trying to bulldoze his way to the Presidency before scandal caught up with him, and the world is lucky it did catch up with him in time.
Think about it, if what he said was real wouldn't that make him one of the biggest traitors in US history for refusing to turn over his "lists" to law enforcement?
Spot on - people have forgotten that the only person jailed over the torture scandal was the man who didn't do any torture and instead blew the whistle on the "cruel and unusual" (unconstitutional by 8th amendment) practice . That was a couple of years before Snowden's leak and he's still in jail.
If they don't name the vender then what will change?
They won't be dragged off to court, or now that we have DMCA bullshit they won't be dragged off to jail like Dmitry S. vs Adobe. If they name them one or both may happen.
It also makes it more likely that since they put so little thought and care into one thing that there are other things that add up to a pile of shit, not just a piece of shit. I've actually seen even worse passwords on POS systems and remote access requirements meant they could not be changed away from the default - which was printed on the side of the devices!
And you're saying that everyone at Apple that featured her app on the Apple Watch knew they were showing a snake oil app on their brand new shiny device?
That's very likely, it's just "business". The bar has been set low by respectable pharma companies selling herbal crap that they know does not work. People want snake oil they would say, so there's no harm in giving them snake oil.
Slashdot Mirror
Since some of them in high positions have been working a lot less time than Slashdot has been around that is far less of a joke than you think.

It's a moving target, so you can know what systemd wants this month but it's not the same six months later.
The above can really just be summed up as "it wasn't all a single project, but it is now with systemd".

Sometimes deliberate jokes are deliberately stupid.

There's bits of the volcano on the North Korea/China border that came down in Japan a few thousand years ago.

No, a a small number of things work but they have a vast range of crap that does not to go with it, and they are very aware that it is crap.
Wouldn't it have been polite to at least read my earlier post that contained the words "Sure, it's fraud, but just treat any panhandling story like a circus act because there's a damned good reason to make it more appealing than accurate".

Gain? Change the transaction information so the numbers match when you steal a lot of money out of the till for one thing.
