How are they intertwined? Telegram allows public posts and livestreaming, neither of which they moderate. That’s nothing to do with encryption and everything to do with pushing the legal boundaries they knew existed.

Anonymity, no. But content privacy yes. Whether Telegram is actually private or can MITM content is another question entirely.

This is to do with content moderation not encryption.

Normal as in the existence of a coupon doesn’t determine if I fulfill my needs at a store.

I shop for convenience and brands I prefer. One store has some items I prefer over the others. That’s to say I shop like a normal person.

Nobody said it made the list for you. The idea was moronic that it would tell you when to get these things. Which is idiotic because YOU ALREADY NEED IT.

If you relied on shitty software less your reading comprehension would be better.

It doesn’t make sense to me and I’ve got three grocery stores and a walmart within miles of me.

I got what you were saying, it’s just not something I can imagine ever caring that much about. Either I need a notebook or I don’t. I’m out of grapes and want some or I don’t. I don’t need a shoddy piece of software to tell me any of those things. And attempting to micro optimize for sale events? Like, this just isn’t a sensible way to live your life.

Only now? It’s been two years of this and now they’ve had too much? No partial credit should be given for people that continued to participate when it was clear what was happening.

Same kind of people that think we can effectively pump enough CO2 out of the air, and other idiotic climate solution magic. Wishers that want to keep consumption at all time highs, basically.

I’m not sure how that’s a useful thing besides convincing people to spend money on something they done need? Like, you either need a product at the grocery store or you don’t. I don’t need corpo bullshit ad bots to beg me to buy shit.

It takes an existing logo, an existing background, and some text you specify as input, and makes a single image with all of those elements as output. So I guess once you’ve done the hard work of making a logo and finding a good background to use, this tool lets you combine them with code instead of whatever image editor you used for the existing elements?

The history of post WW2 era is the forcing function. For better or worse.

In theory, you could make an argument about defending the people living in a hostile region. In practice the government of Israel has been on a hard right slide for decades and have been openly denying basic human rights to the people stranded in Gaza.

Great, then we should stop funding their government and military spending. If they won’t stop, we can. Of course we won’t, but we could and should.

By that measure every lithium battery manufacturer is “little known” then.

Literally no other manufacturer in the area is forecasting delays, and all of them have commented as much. Tesla doesn’t have the demand for the US, Chinese, German, AND Texas factory,. It’s just that simple. So they’re stopping production to let consumption catch up, after several quarters in a row of decreasing prices to increase demand.

Tesla famously removed RADAR and Ultrasonics from their cars two years ago in response to supply-chain disruptions

Yet that wasn’t the excuse they gave, which means they’ll happily lie about their motivations even when they’re clear.

due to the union issues

That and the lack of consumer demand in markets already saturated by them. Much like when they said the Chinese factory would only ever serve the Chinese market, and then started selling China production units in Europe. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, which other vehicle manufacturers are doing the same? Because my bet is this is in response to a lack of demand and a glut of capacity.

You’re missing a TON of history here. Like udev being a dependency to all those projects AND systemd, which led to systemd adding it to their project. Really it could be said that udev is the critical component here.

As you mentioned networkmanager, you clearly know that many popular distros use that rather than systemd-networkd.

Grub2 is by far the most popular boot loader, so far ahead that it’s not even worth considering others. Grub has had several major issues, every distro uses it, why not pick on grub as the risk?

Did you have these same concerns about sysvinit? About the various distro network scripts? What about libc? Good god if there’s a problem with libc we’re all in deep trouble.

Yes, code has bugs. But New code has new bugs (ironically an argument previously used against systemd). Whatever you replace these components with will be just as likely to have a critical vulnerability, but far fewer maintainers and resources to fix it. Systemd has simplified and improved features of so many parts of Linux that it’s funny to see how vehemently people argued against it. Feel free to disable any parts you don’t need, but I think you’re missing 20 years of painful history that led us here.

When selling out goes mainstream…
