They've made a BIG assumption there. They skipped the important bit about why they aren't hiring and jumped straight to "let's blame them with what they are spending their time on," which is a really shitty thing to do.
security and stability are what's important. rebooting to upgrade is just annoying. Being insecure, unstable and annoying isn't exactly a winning combination.
At this point, the only real solution I can see is making a fork of systemd, banning the current systemd creators from participating in it, and trimming it to size.
There are problems with that idea:
* Red Hat is backing Systemd and this is the only thing Lennart seems to work on. You'll be in the quagmire of always trying to catch up on new shitty features and broken compatibility. * Systemd was 250K+ LoC last I checked * Systemd's source code is poorly documented at best. * Systemd has a overly clever design that makes it difficult to grok.
I'm not saying that Systemd shouldn't be replaced, I'm saying that you need to discard the original.
Nobody should have to trust any closed source software. Trusting Microsoft is a huge mistake because they have a horrible track record when it comes to writing secure software. Kaspersky Lab on the other hand actually has a good record for being an excellent anti-virus program. I would trust Kaspersky Lab over Microsoft but I don't have to trust either of them, so I don't.
Progressive authoritarians masquerading as champions of privacy again it seems.
yeah, just read this shit!
EPIC is involved with wide range of civil liberties, consumer protection, and human rights issues. EPIC has pursued several successful consumer privacy complaints with the US Federal Trade Commission, concerning Snapchat (faulty privacy technology), WhatsApp (privacy policy after acquisition by Facebook), Facebook (changes in user privacy settings), Google (roll-out of Google Buzz), Microsoft (Hailstorm log-in), and Choicepoint (sale of personal information to identity thieves). EPIC has also prevailed in significant Freedom of Information Act cases against the CIA, the DHS, the Dept. of Education, the FBI, the NSA, the ODNI, and the TSA. EPIC has also filed many "friend of the court" briefs on law and technology, including Riley v. California (U.S. 2014) (concerning cell phone privacy), and litigated important privacy cases, including EPIC v. DHS (D.C. Cir. 2011), which led to the removal of the x-ray body scanners in US airports, and EPIC v. NSA (D.C. Cir. 2014), which led to the release of the NSA's formerly secret cybersecurity authority. EPIC also challenged the NSA's domestic surveillance program in a petition to the US Supreme Court. In re EPIC, (U.S. 2013) after the release of the "Verizon Order" in June 2013. One of EPIC's current cases concerns the obligation of the Federal Aviation Administration to establish privacy regulations prior to the deployment of commercial drones in the United States.
So we've finally developed a rocket that we can use to start cleaning up space and the first order of business is to add more space garbage? It figures.
It's not a question of "how do we recycle solar panels" it's a matter of economics: it costs more to recycle them than to trash them. Just make it a legal requirement that they be properly recycled and you'll make a few jobs for people to break them down for a few bucks per panel. Seriously, stop overthinking it.
Nuclear waste is more difficult to deal with let alone recycle. Nuclear power has great potential, just not the retarded breeder reactors that we have currently.
Now that we know they are harmful I don't expect our US government to do a damn things about it because "regulation is bad" seems to be the idiotology that so many people are following these days.:(
That article has a much clearer view of the issue and does state that they can be properly recycled. So yeah, I would prefer to read it on "HuffPo" because it's not distorting the truth with false comparisons.
If your social circle is also into hateful rants about group XYZ then they will gladly switch. If they aren't then maybe it's best they not be in contact with you.:)
Look, all you have to do is use a social media platform that isn't a corporation with a presence in Germany. Self-hosting on a decentralized socialmedia network is the best way to go and avoids those nasty ads and deceptive information gather/selling altogether. Sure, you're hateful rants about group XYZ wont reach as many people but you get what you pay for and you haven't paid jack shit.

Why don't young men want to work?

There is a tremendous difference between a bug and a remotely exploitable bug.
the fuck are you talking about? what does politics have to do with shitty software development?
systemd is broken by design, and despite offering highly enticing improvements over legacy init systems, it also brings major regressions in terms of many of the areas Linux is expected to excel: security, stability, and not having to reboot to upgrade your system.
Don't be dense.

We told you so.
What we really need is to only use open-source stuff.
FTFY.

Sorry, I don't believe anything they have done has made my life more private or more secure. I think they are irrelevant.
That doesn't mean they haven't, it means you're self-deluded.

totally authoritarians!
that makes me think that maybe humanity isn't going in the right direction and makes me reconsider if it's really worth saving. :(

Unless Ruby has something new to offer then it's popularity will continue to wane and other languages will continue to displace it.
When I was your age we used UNIX Shell and FORTRAN and that's the way we liked it!
Get off my planet!
LOL!

The answer is zero. Those nuke plants are at minimum a $20 billion investment.
nationalreview.com makes extremely disingenuous arguments and I'm not talking about just this article. Please no more from nationalreview.com.

Are we supposed to care about what happens to asshole companies that blantly overprice their merchandise? Fuck 'em. This serves them right.

How many solar panels and batteries do you think they could have gotten for $4 billion?
Just sayin'.
