Please tell me that someone else has noticed the trend toward being more like windoze with all the information sharing between apps using udev and apps like gedit now depending on centralized data exchange and sharing via udev. These are becoming increasingly mandatory and for what reason?
I've certainly noticed, and commented here in the past.
The arguments in favor of systemd remind me of something:
First, the hook: Boot times are increasing! Second, the fix: Systemd will solve all our problems! Third, close discussion: The technology is "settled", deal with it and stop whining. Forth, vilify dissenters: Systemd deniers are evil and must be cast out of the community!
First, the hook: The climate is warming! Second, the fix: Curbing CO2 will solve all our problems! Third, close discussion: The science is settled, deal with it and stop whining. Forth, vilify dissenters: Climate change deniers are evil and must be imprisoned!
In both cases, the "hook" is a false premise to justify otherwise objectionable remedies to problems that don't exist.
Indeed. And as always, when you ask the people at the top, they won't give you a straight answer, all they do is send back hand-waving replies spilling over with snarky atittudes. Slackware may be the place to go. This whole "your betters have made the decision for you, so fuck you" attitude at SuSe is getting old...very, very, old. And stupid. You'd think that the whole 1939-1945 destruction of their entire country would have taught them the folly of such thinking.(*) Apparently not. (*) (I remember seeing a film made in 1946... about some "army of occupation" soldiers, and their hijinks with the local females... with lots of on-locations shots filmed IN Berlin... and the one thing that becomes apparent very quick is that there was not a single street which even a jeep could travel down without zig-zaggin among piles of rubble, and that other than the Reichstag, there wasn't a single building left standing (Thanks to several Soviet field armies composed of field artillery to the exclusion of all other combat-arms formations.) Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the movie.
