Re: Iceweasel Glib-Critical error

I have been having problems with Iceweasel. It freezes and freezes the entire computer too. I have to manually restart the computer. I ran it from the terminal and right away I got this error: GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed I am wondering if this has to ...

Re: The future with Systemd

But Debian has kept ALL of its promises, which are what made it Debian in the first place. Yet here you all are wanting to throw away all the good work that Debian does for ethical/free software because systemd? You're all completely crazy and you'll miss it once you've killed it. I've now given up...

Re: This is what Stallman had to say about systemd. Really?!

OK, this is an increasingly silly tangent, but: If you think at 50, you have anywhere near the learning power you had at 25, you're seriously deluding yourself. I can dig some articles and some graphs out if you like but if you're over 35, it's all downhill I'm afraid. Organisms are born and then th...

You always attack arguments by saying it is not what you meant , And yet you still are missing the point. old people are inflexible, which surprisingly means the same thing. That is what YOU think he said, no matter how strongly deluded you are in believing it. He is telling you he didn't say that,...

Re: Memories of times long past

But I found myself waxing a tiny bit nostalgic for those simpler times, when programmers were forced by necessity to be frugal with RAM usage, mindful of CPU time, etc. Quite a contrast to today, when a single application thinks nothing of demanding a third of a GB of RAM (or more!) just to start u...

Re: WARNING!!! Actual math!

Thanks very much for that analysis, dasein. It is very illuminating (and depressing). So to confirm my understanding: the vote (rather bogusly/foolishly) mashed together people's technical assessment of whether systemd was good or bad with people's political/social desire to keep talking about it ? ...

Re: I was right, open-source sucks

Sure, open source often sucks, but so does closed source. Sturgeon's Law = "ninety percent of everything is crap."
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law )

All in all, I'm more content with open source, despite its flaws, than with closed source.

Re: Combatting revisionist history

For years the average user didn't know or care what init system was used and didn't care about hal, dbus, policykit, consolekit, PAM and similar stuff creeping onto their systems. Most desktop users have used or tolerated parts of gnome and KDE, which made big use of these interfaces, for years, an...

For all those who wished me good luck in my medical tests, I would like to say that till this moment, nothing serious has been found. However, I am still being investigated for cancer although the probability of it being found are now lower. That's good news! I hope the future tests continue to sho...

Re: Where will you go after systemd?

It's probably not rule #1 but it's pretty dang close if again a person has any common sense. YOU DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INSTALL SOFTWARE FROM A SOURCE YOU DON'T KNOW-TRUST. That in a nutshell is why many people do not want to install systemd. Many people do not trust the technical competen...

And a password need not contain upper case, lower case, numbers & special characters either. An all lower case sentence is harder to crack than a mixed 10 character string. Examples: thenameofmyfirstpetalligatorwasjoe is much stronger than 1Dy2l%Q)a That depends on the sentence. I would not rec...

Re: operating systems without systemd

I am enjoying gNewSense on a spare machine and I have to say this is probably what Debian should have been, mean and simple. I had not heard of this one before. At gnewsense.org, it looks like it installs Gnome by default? So it doesn't seem particularly aimed at avoiding systemd (or being mean and...

Re: Do you agree that I try to create replacement systemd pa

Just so you know, a recent upgrade in unstable/Sid (probably dbus) removed libsystemd-login0, libsystemd-daemon0 and libsystemd-journal0 for libsystemd0 Which means, the integration is getting more aggressive. :( Or maybe (optimistically?) some packages which used to depend on those libsystemd* pac...
