In all other cases of sexual orientation, there are no "stepping stones" and no "learning" or "acquiring" of the orientation and it can also not being "unlearned" or "healed". There is really no reason to believe this thing works different.
Well, obviously all these people against it think that it is much, much better if people with these urges rape real children, than that they use a sex-toy that has a specific form. Why they think children getting raped is preferable is beyond me though, but that is what is going to happen and what they are promoting.
An that is just it. The first solid numbers here were researched by Henry Ford and others that are not in any way suspect of wanting to do good for their workers. They just wanted the best productivity. Working long hours is a pure act put on for show, as productivity doing it is actually lower.
Well, the one thing I do that I currently cannot really do on Linux or virtualized Windows is gaming. I hope that VM Vulcan-passthrough will work reasonably before Win7 goes out of maintenance. If not, I will go for one gaming PC with nothing else on it, no email, no browsing (except game-related) and a Linux box for everything else. I already do something similar with customer laptops, just need to get a 4-way KVM switch and that is it.
Indeed. I know of at least one large company (~50k employees) that will go all web-terminal before Win7 goes out of support. They looked at Win10 and decided that there was no way they would move to a platform with an ever-changing UI. Of course, all their internal stuff is already all web-apps, they just need to replace MS office with something web-based. But this is a good thing as the MS monopoly has done a huge disservice to the world.
As KISS basically says "make it as simple as possible, but not simpler", the kernel is actually not a KISS violation. But I am not surprised that you lack the mental capabilities required to understand that. Some actual insight required here, not just mindless fandom.
The systemd fanatics are mostly authoritarian followers, i.e. they care very much about following the "right" (i.e. most powerful) religion, but not at all what it actually says or entails.
I fully agree on this. Excellent summary on the political angle.
For myself, I will just stick with Debian with sysIVinit until the major distros finally wake up and make systemd _not_ the default again. Works reliably, is simple, and I have not yet found anything that I care about being broken as a result. Sure, there is some systemd cruft still around, but that can be mostly ignored at this time.
Microkernels have been tried. At this time, they are inferior in several regards, except for special situations. When that changes, the Linux Kernel will likely undergo some major architectural revision. The same is not true for init-systems. You seem to have no clue what you are talking about. Pretty typical for the systemd-proponents, I have to say. All belief, no facts.
Incidentally, Solaris SMF does pretty much the same. And it can still deal with old-style init-scripts. Not saying it is a really good solution, but it does at least not fall for the absolute beginners mistake of writing a "Master Control Program" that does everything.
Excellent comparison, except that for No Man's Sky, I got a full refund a day before it launched officially. The early reviews made it pretty clear that it was mostly vaporware.
Several reasons: 1. Most people cannot recognize engineering quality levels. Case in point: Windows
2. Most people feel safe following the perceived mainstream or powerful entities ("authoritarian followers"), see also "nobody was ever fired for buying IBM" or "The People's Front of Judea" vs. the "Judean People's Front".
3. Most people in IT are afraid of being accused of being backwards and not on board with the new hype-du-jour. Incidentally, that is the usual first accusation against anybody that does not like systemd. Baseless as that accusation is in this case, it works on many, many people.
4. Many people mistake arrogance for actual skill. The systemd-team has plenty of the former but only an average amount of the later (and by far not enough for a project on this level of difficulty...)
Hence the buyer/user is pretty stupid here and falls for all the wrong things. Not a new phenomenon either.
Pretty good summary. Also make sure sysvinit and systemd can be swapped out against each other without any need to change anything else in the system, including traditional init-scripts. (I mean if Solaris SMF manages to do that, then systemd should easily be able to do that as well.) You know, because some people actually want an init-system that is modular, easy to debug and respects KISS. With that fixed and the things from your comment fixed, all my issues with systemd would vanish. As it is, systemd is on my blacklist for things to never install or use. Rewriting system services because their init-system is broken is just insane.
Surprised it took so long to find something _this_ bad. But likely all the really competent people are not using systemd and hence have no reason looking at its code or fuzzying it.
I have pretty much the same question. I do not go anywhere near that failure of a software project myself, and neither does my employer. But most people do not seem to have a clue what the problem is and that is a rather serious problem in itself.
Remote exploitable bugs in core-Linux are incredibly rare. The systemd team is really going where nobody else has gone before. That is not a good thing at all, of course, because if you do this, you need to have excellent skills, which the systemd team most decidedly does not have. Fortunately, none of my machines or those of my employer needs to be patched, because we have banned systemd early on due to the massive KISS violation it represents. Nobody here is surprised by this bug.

In fact, the first is not a problem, the second is a very serious problem.

Their TVs already listen to everything ans dens it to Samsung, last I heard. Just leave out the TV screen and they are almost done...

As I have tried this from time to time for the last 10 years or so, I can only call you utterly clueless.
Networking is core-Linux. As for any UNIX or UNIX-like system.

Indeed. Get a huge bonus for selling the silverware and then get out with a golden parachute. They are a force of destruction, nothing else.

... as soon as they do not think they need you anymore. I find it really hard to feel any kind of compassion for those that will get hit.

Indeed. But Trump followers often resemble Trump, so that is not much of a surprise.

Very much this.
I doubt there is a spec, except maybe some chaotic jumble in Lennarts deranged mind.
