I think it is reasonable to expect that posters to this list assume the responsibility to attempt to ensure their posts contain factually correct information at the point of sending. This isn't opensuse-history, what was once true is not necessary beneficial when we are discussing the truths that impact the development of our distributions today.
I would agree. Given how fast information is changing, anything known as true yesterday, might be updated today. This was and is a problem of all media being online -- (like kindles or devices using itunes). If some truth changes, content can (on kindles: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technology/companies/18amazon.html ) and (is) on itunes, autodeleted ("https://apple.slashdot.org/story/16/05/05/159219/apple-stole-my-music-no-ser...")
This auto-updating "feature" can be used to "correct" details in stories as well as change pictures or do just about anything. This has been a concern since before it was actually possible. While amazon has set limits on their deleting customer content. We all know how much power corporations have when facing supposed demands concerning various totalitarian laws (zero tolerance/property forfeiture w/proceeds going to police and no court-case necessary; various aspects of the "patriot[sic] act" -- and how they are gagged from even telling us of many of those violations.
What does this have to do with lilo development being troubled for years and dead for months? It's not exactly been a fast moving situation, much more like a car crash in slow motion.
I would like to kindly ask you to refrain from spreading misinformations.
--- Good luck in getting anyone to do so. The 1st requirement is that you know what you know hasn't changed or been updated.
See above - I would advice people check their understanding of facts before asserting them on this list.
Even when sisD web/info-pages recommended booting from disk for speed -- oSuSE didn't even try an implementation, which is odd, as the first recommended selling point was to speed up the boot process (which it does, in limited SSD test cases, but not in larger samples that include "fast" rotating media). Given all the discussions about various topics of what used to be considered good-sw practice -- and is now oft considered the opposite (at least this week). I found that references were ignored and people did whatever they wanted to do -- and some, not able to handle "the truth" (with citations), put me in their "ignore" folder, which I don't mind too much, actually, lowers tedious discussions that take hours to write, but I do mind that doing is only likely to perpetuate their mono-"theistic" viewpoints.
And what does a discussion about systemD this have to do with the removal of an obsolete, unmaintained, bootloader package (lilo)? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
