I don't see why I should pay more just so a European billionaire can get richer, instead of a Chinese one.

Because European jobs are on the line.

I’d rather buy European.

You could just not update?

You’re thanking the guy because he spent three minutes searching for the answer you were so clearly sealioning for.

Good job I guess.

systemd devs successfully rage baited you and a bunch of others. It’s time to let it go.

But if you don’t want to, let me ask, how do you think a data field with no connection to any access control subsystem, is going to prevent anyone from logging in?

Neither does systemd. They are optional.

LDAP has had a birth date field for like 20 years now. Is it “complicit” as well?

Which part of the “Linux philosophy” does systemd “violate”.

The scope creep exponentially raises the efforts needed to properly test, troubleshoot, secure, and just generally work with the project code.

I keep seeing these words, “scope creep”, in this thread, and I don’t think most people understand what they mean.

The scope of systemd is an init and service manager, and any basic service required for a minimal, coherent system to work. If you think that it goes too far, then we should be talking about the Linux kernel and all the stuff it has that could run on userland and doesn’t, or coreutils, which essentially is the shell equivalent to systemd without the integration.

In the same sense a database is complicit.

Not sure what’s annoying about logind, but udev was introduced eight years before systemd was a thing.

You must be a great travel companion.

“Hungry? Fuck off, I decide who’s hungry and when”

Anyone who has spent any significant time in Spain, knows that 9 out of 10 Spaniards think that corruption has skyrocketed under every single prime minister in the past 45 years.

Anyway, I cannot take an “expat newspaper” seriously. We’ve lived through worse times than this. We had a major party involved in a kickback scheme, including their leader at the time (“M. Rajoy”, anyone?) like 15 years ago. In the early 2000s, the largest telecom company in Spain was sold for pennies by a close friend of the prime minister.

A single binary? What?

Systemd changing from text to binary logs is my pet peeve.

Fast searchable compressed files is a fantastic idea.

… there is something deeply and personally disturbing to me about people who identify strongly with it

As opposed to those who call themselves gamers or trekkies?

Sure.
