    So, basically the Fossil Fuel companies are smaller than the U.S. deficit. I think that makes it pretty clear that the money in climate change is in getting grants from the government.

    I think that makes it pretty clear you don't have a fucking clue what government spends its money on.

    At a more practical level, Debian already provides Debian with systemd and it would be a waste of anybody's time to add that, not just yours.

    Hell. Debian also provides Debian without systemd.

    What, exactly is the point of Devuan?

    Oh, and everything could be treated like a file, including devices. This concept seems to have gone a step farther in Linux, where even processes can be accessed through /proc.

    For values of "Linux" that are equal to SVR4.

    (Which goes further than Linux, replacing the ugly ptrace(2) by I/O ops on /proc).

    Of course, neither of them goes as far as Plan9.
