  1. maybe you should do some research into the reasons for systemd and how it benefits servers, particularly those that uses containers and VMs where they need fast shutdown and reboot instead of making things up. Any benefit to the desktop was an additional bonus.

    You'll feel better when you find the reasons rather than rely on ignorant crap from trolls

  2. "This is specifically wrong. systemd was designed to implement specific features, not to replace init. " - can you provide a link where that was said? Have you read this ? http://0pointer.de/blog/projec...

  3. Redhat wouldn't have switched if it wasn't technically good enough. You write up a paper that challenges the technical merits of systemd and put it to RedHat.

  4. that is because they felt entitled to tell the DISTRO they use for ZERO money what they should do - tough... its people that create the distro that decide. those that feel it was "rammed" down their throats should move and freeload on another distro which makes Devuan one of their choices.

    so yes that is one of the points of open source, if you don't like it, fork it and/or make your own.

  5. conspiracy theory bollox as always.

  6. and just how much is it consuming?

  7. yawn.... no-one landed on the moon either

  8. and what log messages might they be?

  9. aahhh, you like re-inventing the init wheel for personal pleasure.. not got enough real work to do? :)

  10. i guess you didn't read it

    "current "OMG we're all gonna die!" extreme rhetoric" - thats your flawed representation of the issue so you will ridiculed if you take that tone. the cancer papers problem is from just a relatively few morons trying to game the system, no need to cast the net further to others because that is just trying to create a conspiracy to create doubt. Prove you accusation about climate research otherwise you haven't got a leg to stand on.

    "Until proven otherwise, I think we'll have to take any and all academic research with a really big grain of salt."

    you like a conspiracy theory don't you... why do you "have to assume" that everything else is as bad?

    High skill jobs are a few, nowhere near enough to replace manufacturing jobs and never will be. reverse the automation and you get jobs but be prepared for costs/prices to go up.

    that could possibly only work if the local workforce is capable of taking the places of the H1-B workers. Why is it that no-one seems to get worked up about Apple et al building their phones/computers abroad? To get USA great again (fucking cliche for stupid) , they need to bring manufacturing back as its the only place where you need large numbers of workers. Maybe no-one wants to pay American prices for American products...

    People want cheaper and cheaper products so wages will go down or stagnate to allow that. More and more people work in IT therefore its not as exclusive as it was so its got to the point where the value of the average IT person is now getting lower. The local workforce will always price themselves out of the market as it becomes common place.

    Thats the way its always been in virtually every industry, cream when its new and invigorating but dilute milk when its overcrowded.
