    his point is if you don't use it, stop whining and if you don;t like it, use something else and stop whining

    true, but they would have a semantic argument that using your phone is not negligent. unfortunately common sense in law is open to abuse. Just look at how many communication laws have had to be updated to include new forms of technology even though the "illegal process" is the same regardless of how its done, people got away with shit because "xxx" wasn't mentioned

    a simple solution is to ban use of phones in moving cars completely. Just how important is that phone call? Unless its someone calling me to do something like press the big red nucleur button to save lives immediately, its not that important that i can't get off the road and take the call 5/10 minutes later

    i was asking about software you wrote as you are the one moaning. So have you ripped systemd out of your system and installed any other those systems? if you have, then stop moaning as systemd is not for you

    and that has what to do with systemd's reliability/performance?

    they would eventually lose customers if systemd causes all the machines to fail regularly - so they would be shooting themselves in the foot. now do the arithmetic if they lose customers

    "Systemd has no obvious benefit to servers," - i doubt Red Hat would push it if that was the case, they must see a use case for it

    for the majority of desktop users who do not use servers, systemd works fine. i've never had any problems with it at all, it changed over in opensuse and i didn;t notice any difference apart from getting to a working desktop a lot faster.

    unfortunately there are too many people who cannot understand that its the distros fault, the same happened with KDE4.0
