Where it seems like text based forums using upvotes/likes or reactions encourages those who are less inquisitive and/or humble to take up a lot of the atmosphere.

It got me thinking that the internet today has more people on it but fewer forums to engage with technical topics in depth.

Did you read the thread linked?

You're essentially saying that the month you spent is enough for you to call it bad and the creators incompetent.

What qualifies you to make a determination like that?

There is never any actual technical reasons it's always about vague things like not adhering to UNIX philosophy, lines of code or it being badly designed (without any real architectural criticism)

This is an article about why they believe sudo isn't a good system. Where's your criticism of that from a technical / security perspective?

It's been about 10 years since systemd was adopted by Debian/Ubuntu/Redhat/Fedora etc.

Millions of deployments over the years. The companies that build and are paid to support for years with SLAs the operating systems are using it without issue.

Because I'm pretty sure that most of the components are optional.

You did not even discuss the reasoning given for not using sudo to instead hop on your soapbox to say it's bad software with bad practices and that they are stupid.

It's annoying how in the the more surface level Linux communities there's 0 value in discussing systemd.

"1 million lines of code for PID0!"

The new thing is blaming systemd for that recent exploit even though distros were patching in the bug themselves.

People analysing the exploit determined that a new version of systemd was going to prevent the exploit vector so the exploit seemed to have been rushed out.

Isn't this just textbook FUD?

What I've noticed is over the years is systemd would have identified a gap in functionality.

Like systemd-homed having a solution for automatically encrypting home directory when the machine is suspended.

Is that a functionality that OSX has had for years? Yes.

But anti-systemd people will dislike it automatically.

Or is women you've got a problem with?

Sometimes it's good for a laugh. Like I remember a commenter in one of the XZ posts saying that open source contributors should be required to have US security clearance.

The top comment talking about Vista (2007), Crisis (last game 2011), Witcher (Last game 2015) and the Datsun name change (1986) is really something.

There's a lot of windows laptops that support P3 or in the case of some OLED displays exceed Display P3's gamut.

The same for monitors. There's 4K OLEDs hitting the market hitting about 80% rec 2020 and completely covering Display P3.

Your display market knowledge is a few years outdated.

Then get a 120hz display which has 8ms latency.

Or there's 240hz 4k displays with 4ms

If that's not enough then there's 1080p esport monitors with 540hz so 1.85ms.

If someone makes a library and other people start using it, are they forced to reveal their identity?

Do the maintainers get paid?

If you can't imagine people using these tools for other reasons than pure unemotional business value then you don't understand their market.

Your suggestions would lose those platforms users and revenue.

And using 2x to 3x more electricity means more heat in their room.

Also many countries have smart electricity meters with in home units which tell them exactly how many watts are currently being consumed and how much that costs them.

Have you heard of MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems)?

Look at these photographs and then tell me a Swiss watch is something to be impressed by.

Watches are valuable because of marketing. Is your sentimentality worth more because it's an expensive watch?

I believe there's a the option to connect two

World record on cinebench with liquid nitrogen pulled 1.6kW

You selectively quoted them to rant about something they weren't talking about.

The entire article was about how the design of their benchmark doesn't reflect how applications people use work.

~100% of games don't fit into the L1 cache of a CPU.

This isn't a project with massive corporate funding.

If the project isn't updating this page but they're actively making patch releases, what's the benefit?

There's this attitude when it comes to FOSS software where free users seem more entitled than paying users.

Isn't it significantly more entitled to ask volunteers provide a service?

It seems to be a mostly volunteer driven project.

Proprietary SoC vendors use an fork of a very old version of the software so they're not invested.

Why not try engaging and see if you can help them automate advisories based on their issue tracker / got activity?

Because your attitude comes off as entitlement.
