Former OS security here (I worked at an OS vendor who sold an OS or two and my job involved keeping it secure).

Fuck no.

Sorry if that makes you downvote, but it doesn’t make them safer.

It’s on Apple TV. This means I’ll unfortunately never see it.

When I last quit apple TV as a person possessing no apple hardware, it was an excruciating, maddening process that took three attempts over two days to finalize. I didn’t learn anything about apple I don’t already know, but I did have some choice words for that one fuckwit family member who says “lol, just go buy apple stuff” without understanding his role in this.

So, for those reasons I choose not to go back to apple TV, ever. I can’t mentally afford the rage and anger that surrounds the termination process. And it’s my choice not to view it on pirate streams or whatnot, should it become available. I have no judgement over those who pay top dollar just to pay top dollar to view apple TV streams, and I have no negative thoughts towards those who find it on the open seas. Neither option is for me .

It could be fantastic, though, and I hope it is.

I hope it changed kid-pidgin like ‘istg’ to English.

Doo eeet

And this is how we get Systemd

POPULAR != BETTER

it’s peaceful and quaint nature

Yes, it is.

Comma splice.

Systemd

I’m out

I wonder [whether] he would have done the same thing talking to a man…

I was entertained to see someone get their comeuppance.

I was disappointed to see someone else immediately go sexist on the post.

I am now doubly disappointed that we’re not better than that person, here.

Sometimes an idiot is just an idiot. Leave room for people to grow into, okay?

Topgrade - Upgrade all your system packages and dependencies in one command.

Keeping your system up to date usually involves invoking multiple package managers.

As someone who worked build/rel before working OS security: if you’re intentionally breaking Single Source of Truth for software state management, then you’re in for a bad time. This can only delay the inevitable, but the technical debt comes at a high credit cost on top.

Building an RPM is SO trivial to do, even without some LLM feeding it to you; and maintaining an existing one or rebuilding it to suit another distro or version even more trivial. Save your sanity and avoid out-of-band ‘package’ managers!

Are we competing again?

I’m proud to be setting up a rhel10 desktop, as it’ll be the first time I ran Linux as a desktop in 30 years of a Linux/Unix career.

To rephrase: I ran XFree86 on a 4mb i386 machine 30 years ago.

What do I win?

Your phone was right: this isn’t a word.

Good news: session save/restore

Bad news: lennart’s tumor

Verdict: nope.

Container and Ai ! Now you get the sparkle junkie virus, guys!

Urge to help is fading.

Jebus. I never even suspect lennart’s people metastasized into there too.

Docker free version?

I work in tech, and I’m in a union. I think this has already been accomplished; it just needs to grow.

Boot times.

I love how you chose one of the prime advertised features of The Cancer – and my rhel6 could boot faster than rhel7 every day.

By comparison, Systemd feels like jumping on the back of a charging gazelle and hitting it with a salmon in the hopes it’ll go the other way, all the while it’s bleating and emitting and defecating from its regular port and a whole new journald port of its own choosing. And often tripping.

Runit has been solid and fast. I’ve seen it on several projects - I want to say alpine and proton/vm and gitlab’s own weird setup - and it’s never let me down. I wish rh could have seen that instead like I wish they picked James over Mike for automation.
