Yeah, these people never do their research. Its very easy to find the discussions and reasoning the devs had at the time.

That especially disqualifies the conspiracy idiots who come up with myths about Red Hat or Poettering or Microsoft or so puppeteering Linux into its dooooom

Nah, the issue is accidental corruption, different parsers doing things differently, stuff like that. Happens often with “mostly text but actually some structured data also” formats, doesn’t happen with formats that have well specified framing.

Because most people prefer it. Again: having a minority taste doesn’t mean you’re oppressed when there’s an option to have what you want.

For many, it makes them require lube in situations where they would otherwise need none.

For some, it makes things painful some or all the time.

Read. I’m saying that you lied, not that your preferences are bad.

Systemd doesn’t force you to use binlogs.

Can you add more fields? Is there no ambiguity in context switching? No breakage around whitespace?

If so, sure, that’s fine then.

WTF. Saying “it uses binlogs” as if that wasn’t a choice is just a lie. I called it out. Deal with it.

Right, that happened to me too.

And it’s a problem 100% unrelated to systemd, so I wouldn’t count it here.

That old load of bullshit again. You could swap out the logs if you want a shittier, less searchable (but text based) logging system. The rest can be countered in a similarly conclusive way, and has been repeatedly in the last decade or so.

Inform yourself before copy-pasting misinformation and misleading propaganda.

Eh, it exists to make fun of the Gen-AI image Trump posted, so I’ll allow it.

That’s tautological. Of course “doing X in relationship model where X isn’t considered cheating” is not considered cheating

And don’t forget that those payment tiers are heavily subsidized.

Technically correct, but not really:

The desire among Americans to move abroad is reaching record numbers: One in five say that, ideally, they would like to emigrate if given an opportunity, according to a 2025 Gallup poll

If they’d used “expat” or some shit, you’d have a point.

It’s not just careers on the line here. And that to say something just so all the people who need to hear it immediately get back into the brainwash machine again 5 minutes later to listen to thousands of hours of billionaire-controlled media? That’s worth it?

What an idiotic move it would be to potentially piss off a powerful man-child leading a nation while you’re dependent on an agency of that nation to get back to civilization.

I literally can’t think of a worse position to speak up against Trump than on a NASA mission in space. Maybe the men’s toilet on one of how rallies? But you’d probably easily survive that.

AV1. Netvc didn’t happen, and parts of Daala and Thor were integrated into AV1. Google has the only relevant patents and gave the world an irrevocable license to use it freely.

This is as close as you can get. The sisvel patent trolls will put their grubby fingers onto everything you can call “video codec”, and make up ways they can milk people stupid enough to pay them.

Yeah. Rowling actively pumps her money into lobbyism aimed at hurting trans people. That’s so directly malicious that I wouldn’t want to give her a penny for it.

Because they always do, not because they have a legitimate claim.

The biometrics part makes no sense, you can disable biometrics. You mean that you have to do a security confirmation however you’ve set it up.

The KDE screenshot application is super nice though, what does flameshot have that it doesn’t?
