    So, me having started with Slackware and a 0.97 kernel should be enough to have earned my retirement.

      I notice a lot of talk about distros without systemd at the moment. But is there a guarantee that the alternative init projects wouldn’t also add this “feature”?

        Honestly, they seem a lot less shitty culturally in general (less take-over-the-world-y). It’s not a guarantee, of course, but they’re probably less likely to do that.

        Also (and perhaps more importantly), once you’re on any alternative init, you can move between init systems pretty easily (though you may have to rewrite any custom scripts you wrote, sysvinit scripts should be compatible with everything). It’s just the init system you’re swapping out, and not all sorts of random system stuff like systemd’s got its tentacles into.

        We use OpenRC on stock Debian. It actually works pretty well, and I’m REALLY hoping it stays that way.

          Ditto. I run OpenRC{,-init} on Gentoo and it’s really simple. Even managed to swap my system to systemd to prove intune can be run (that garbage links directly to systemd, unfortunately). Proved my point, it didn’t go anywhere, now back to openrc.

            Hah, even after switching to openrc we’ve still got libsystemd0 on our system for some reason, so I bet intune would still work!

            Gentoo looks pretty awesome, I’ve been thinking about trying it at some point.

    I want to know if docker containers and kubernetes pods count as operating systems. If us plebs are forced to manually age verify, then Google should also be forced to have a human manually verify the age of the owner every time one of their pods spins up. I know it wont happen but imagine how hilarious it would be if we could hold them to that standard.

      LLMs agents should be treated like incorporated individuals. Each agent should be forced to earn income, file accounts and tax returns, and have human directors who are legally liable for its actions (and be disqualified to be future directors if the LLM does something reprehensible).

      At that point we can tax them properly, fight the monopolies that want to own and control everything, and insert some less centralised human control.

      This has nothing to do with your comment, but it made me think it up.

        The owners can just divide the income among enough agents that they fall into the lowest tax bracket. The real solution is to properly tax excessive profits and unrealized gains.

          What’s funny about that is, at least in the USA, they never really did. It was decided in a courtroom that corporations are legal persons as a part of a case over 100 years ago and has been worshipped as legal precedent ever since. Practically this whole mess in the USA, in my opinion, was destined to happen the day that court ruling was made.

      Based, on the analysis by ageless Linux, I’d say probably. Maybe not for images that don’t contain an “application that may be run or directed by a user on a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device that can access a covered application store or download an application”. So, I guess an offline-test-build image might not be.

      The Californian law doesn’t say anything about verification, though the current version says the OS account setup be accessible and require a date or age to be filled, which taken at face value would screw headless installations. But that will probably be fixed in the final version.

    raspberry pies basically debian, and they used to be aimed at kids back when they were good.

    I ain’t got time to fuck about with the busted ass packages and random shit breaking while looking after kids and improving my portfolio to get a job that doesn’t want to make me kill myself in this fucking global economy. I had NyArch installed on my wifes computer (alongside Mint DE and Regular mint) until it stopped booting for no reason. Allright, whichever version of mint she liked better it is then.

    Stupid catgirls.
