seems reasonable on its own, but knowing the track record of EU regulations... Even this sounds dodgy

>Try running any part of the systemd software suite on an openrc system and see how that works out?

Well from this POV it's kinda openrc's problem if it doesn't. What about trying to run any part of the Openrc software suite on an Upstart system? The question why would anyone sane want to is rhetorical tho...

Why obsessing over whether systemd is monolithic and in what measure anyway? There certainly ARE optional systemd parts. So it's correct to say it's not entirely monolithic.

And did so in its (or rather Bram's) own, incompatible with Neovim way. I imagine that's the biggest problem with Vim why Neovim was even created - hardcore NIH syndrome of Vim's main author.

Good for you I guess.

Too bad the whole world isn't the MIT Campus/Silicon Valley.

Nice.

Too bad 99% of real world (c)(tm) workloads don't look kindly on hauling not only a debugger but "the full dev environment" in every product shipped out there...

A blinding setup otherwise ngl.

Thumb drives in the early 2000s weren't all that ubiquitous to put it mildly.

Neither was carrying around one's dev environment entire or partial.

You're quite an early adopter.

Laptop manufacturers aren't bribed to care about anything other than WIndoze??? Colour me shocked.

The consumer loses out but that's not something new either.

Do they have official instructions on how to setup (which URLs for STUN, etc - there are a couple required) TOR via Snowflake on desktop (bc on Android it all seems to be bundled inside Orbot)?
