Re: Some people don't like Debian 9 [ARTICLES]

Wow. Been a while. I uninstalled Debian when they switched to systemd. Speaking of which, how is that working out for you guys? I do like reading Dodemoido, or whatever that freaks name is. He is mildly entertaining, but almost always spot-on with his reviews. I have no doubt this review is of simil...

Re: Interesting and technical article above systemd + trolli

This is not a scientific approach. Was it peer reviewed?.. If not, sorry, no its not scientific ergo take it with the grain of salt it so richly deserves. Look, I am not a systemd fan at all, but if this is an attempt to unseat a now widely accepted part of GNU/Linux, then a much broader effort will...

Re: su limitations and systemd

At this point it is not about su being broken or not (it absolutely is not), but the monstrosity that is systemd gobbling every thing that is in userland and its eventual grab for the kernel as well until it is all part of Lennarts new OS called systemd. I really do not think anyone gives a sh#t if ...

I'm still on my first coffee, so maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see any upside. At all. Maybe someone can explain it. The upside to this is that many people who were on the fence before will now starting to wake up and get in the fight. Even if you (for some absolutely perverse reason) do...

Re: Systemd violates social contract

I abandoned debian many years ago anyway, but for other users they will be alienated when they can no longer CHOOSE on their own. So after many years you come here to open old systemd topics just to show your dismay? That is what "trolls" do. I agree. I think this is a prime candidate for...

Re: Ecce Lennart

I would not call it a conspiracy, but to me it is clear an important, if not the main, factor behind the decision to adopt systemd is the desire Debian's powers-that-be have to keep Debian a Gnome distribution. Which, of course, raises questions about the project's vision of the future. I think you...

Re: Ecce Lennart

The fight is over. The time to fight systemd was before it was forced on everyone, not after. Now that only about three distributions are still managing to keep it at bay (for now), systemd is a fact of life for most of Linuxland, and soon all of it. Crusading against it now is pointless. It is ama...

Re: Ecce Lennart

CentOS 6 is getting a little crusty at this point due to it being 5 years old. What's with the age discrimination? This notion that just because a software version is older than another makes it somehow taboo or bad is just nonsense. Yes, CentOS6 is older, but it is also much more stable, much bett...

Re: Why are popcon submitter counts falling?

I recall that the Popcorn counts were used during the systemd TC debate, and was one of the deciding factors. Now that the DDs have gone full capitulation mode with systemd, there is no further need to manipulate the Popcorn counts of systemd installs, so it makes sense that the counts are probably ...

Re: The future with Systemd

The more I reflect about my computing situation regarding systemd, the more I think, the most feasible solution for me is to remain a Debian user, for the fact, that Debian holds a huge repository of software. This position is far from accepting systemd as I plan to, if necessary, create my own ini...

Back on topic. I am dissatisfied with jessie on my hardware. Both squeeze and wheezy recognize my laptop in the dock with lid closed and use the external monitor; not so with jessie. The same hardware also occasionally hangs on power down under jessie but has no problems with squeeze or wheezy. Whe...
