@MadMike77 My understanding is that System V init is much smaller and simpler.

But beyond the relative merits of systemd and System V init, which I am not an expert on, the increasing dependency of the Linux ecosystem on systemd is a loss of robustness. Fundamental low-level components should be replaceable. There should be at least two independent implementations from which systems integrators can choose. Nobody knows what might one day happen to systemd.

@TheConversationUS where I grew up we have cold winters and hot summers. Opening the window for 10-15 minutes a day doesn't change the temperature much, because walls and furniture don't adapt their temperature so quickly.

This is part of the lunch meal that was provided thanks to my dear friend @mynameistillian 🤍
Nine people shared this meal.
The cost of this meal was just a few euros,
yet its impact on us was very big.
His gesture is not just food, but a message of solidarity and humanity that gives us strength and hope.
Heartfelt thanks to tillian for standing with us and for his sincere support.
For anyone who wishes to help, this is my link

#OtD 5 Feb 1973 3000 cleaners and other municipal workers in Durban, SA, went on strike. They were joined by 16,000 workers in other depts the following day, and a further 11,000 the day after that, part of a wave of strikes in the city https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10511/durban-corporation-strike

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this "Thanks For Loving Me Even Though I'm Trash" Sticker. If you ever feel unworthy of being loved because you're trash, just remember that means your partner is a weird freak who is attracted to trash. You deserve each other.

Now that #Conversations_im is interfacing with Google Play Services via open-source code to retrieve a push token, we could potentially add Firebase Cloud Messaging as a last-resort fallback to the F-Droid build flavor as well.

I’m not sure if people want that. To some, the F-Droid version is a guarantee that Play Services won’t be used, even when installed on the device.

Writing op-eds is not a crime.

Someone should tell police in Lenexa, Kansas, and suggest they read the First Amendment.

Officers there criminally investigated a local man, including tracking his car, after he wrote an op-ed critical of the department.

Once I finally get my latest book published, I want to publish some videos on PeerTube as well. Looking forward to it!

@Skyper Sorry about that! Will pass the feedback on so the team can improve this.

Well Ars Electronica has gone all-in on AI, anyway. I guess they must have got some sweet #BigTech funding or summat. :(

Tis a long way from Blectum from Blechdom
winning it a while back. Seems like another data point in this trend of every single arts thing going unbelievably corpo. No one can get arts-money now without a Sam Altman sticking his grubby oar in
