What kind of rube works in the same country they live in? I met a lot of WFH workers when I visited Thailand, and not a single one of them was working for a company in Thailand.

You're saying not your circus, not your apes?

Two of the top answers here are missing from that list and, to be frank, that list does not really contain any useful information. For example, where do I see on that list which clients can display images?

The "tooling" argument is kind of backwards when we're in the kernel. The package manager is not allowed to be used. Even the standard library is not allowed to be used. Writing code free of the standard library is kind of new in the Rust world and getting compiler support for it has been one of the major efforts to get Rust into the kernel. Needless to say tools around no-stdlib isn't as robust as in the user world.

No, that would be "too egotistical" (in Linus' own words). But he can have his friend who runs an FTP server completely ignore his wishes to have it named "Freax" and name the directory "linux" instead.

I don't think you'd want that website. Whisper is fairly efficient (even an old GTX can do pretty well at 4x-8x real-time speed), but a website like that would still require pretty expensive cloud GPUs. It's really not possible to imagine that a website like that would not be data mining you and selling all your audio to advertisers to pay off investors.

Better to buy a GPU and do it yourself. (Good news: it takes like 30 seconds to install)

Easier compared to what? Easier compared to sysvinit, of course. Easier compared to all the other alternatives? Six of one, half a dozen of the other, on balance, I would say.

But SystemD has inertia behind it now. If you run into problems, there are probably 1e10 web pages out there that will help you fix it. That's why Debian solidified on SystemD: not because it's any better than any of the others, but because it's the same as everybody else.

If I'm 300 on lichess, does that mean my chess.com Elo would be negative?

I was with you until the last paragraph. Just about every init system is different from historical init systems. Do you really think OpenRC or runit or any of the other init systems people are using have any similarity to SysV init? I think you're attacking a strawman in the last paragraph. (Edit: Except Slackware users. Slackware still does init the way it's traditionally been done, but I can't think of anyone else who does)

Absolutely right. I just tried it on the browsers installed on my system, loading this page:

Firefox: 560MiB
Epiphany (GNOME Web): 226MiB
elinks: 16MiB
lynx: 14MiB

Looks like lynx is the winner

(Sidenote: This isn't really a fair fight for Firefox since it's my daily driver, with extensions installed and a bunch of stuff cached. I'm guessing even a fresh install wouldn't get below 300MiB, though)

Interestingly, someone who hates systemd would have written exactly the same blog with exactly the same reasons. "Systemd is incredibly versatile and most people, including myself, are unaware of its full potential" could very well be verbatim the slogan of the anti-systemd faction.

Yes, I am strongly opposed to it.

Whether Musk receives public ridicule has absolutely zero impact on Musk, and a huge impact on the rest of us. It ruins the community to obsess over someone for no reason.
