@Plankton445140 @rhobotmeat @nixcraft Good thing we have rsyslog with log files of the errors...*woosh* nope, now we have journald and no log files.

@rhobotmeat @nixcraft Systems replaces the simple scripts that were supposed to ensure that like nginx or kde are actually running, only in a more indirect and convoluted and hard to audit and easy to break way.

systemd lost the plot a long time ago. they stopped following the Unix philosophy and now they're busy adding nonsense like age verification. Just like Firefox, systemd doesn't understand its core user base. There are plenty of distros without systemd

@rhobotmeat @nixcraft Systemd basicly extends itself to make really complicated versions of what where simple things that never broke. And now they break, and are hard to debug.

@nixcraft So, as a newer Linux user... systemd is the thing that ensures that, like, nginx on my server, or KDE on my laptop are actually running and configured. So... _how can it_ have an age verification system?

@Senninsage Most people (excluding mac fanclub) have more devices with linux than Windows. Also use them a lot more. Even if you type this on a Windows pc, your router, phone and possibly nas (although could be Freebsd)in you home are running linux. Not to mention a lot of smart devices..

People already use Windows far more than macOS and Linux, and they do so by choice. Windows can improve, but it's lightyears better than either Linux or MacOS.

@baclofino @CR1337 A deb package is a directory with at minimal a DEBIAN/control file, and you run dpkg-deb <directory> and you have a package. You can also download (in the case the kernel) package, make the edit, compile and make the deb again, no magic involved.

@bofromhell @CR1337 Try to change ONE kernel config setting in Debian or Fedora. In Arch you clone the PKGBUILD, edit checksum and config, makepkg -Ccfi done. I scripted a bunch even to roll along with my changes. Hacking-friendly. Doing same in DEB/RPM is a nasty exercise with their package tooling

"Running list of Open Source Operating Systems (Linux & *BSD distributions, etc.) and what their current status is regarding age verification"

@rayvahey @CR1337 Mini repo that offers only the packages needed to remove the surveillance bloat. No need for a fork

@CR1337 How long until there are forks of each of these minus the surveillance bloat?

@baclofino @CR1337 Wait what? I havent touched rpm in a while, but you can for sure make debs without age verification, make sure they are a newer version and put them in your own apt repo. But you have to remake these with every update of the package

@CR1337 Arch PKGBUILD makes it easy to patch out stuff added by systemd that you do not want. Like disable homed. DEB/RPM-based distro users on the other hand are royally fscked, because of overengineered and impenetrable packaging in 2026.

@otokyo__ From another student in my dorm.

Who taught you ?

@stupidtechtakes I dont get it, why would i not just use: convert input.webp output.jpg

@Amelia558rs Fresh brewed whole bean coffee from my machine. I dont see the stuck here

@oelma__ Snails, sürstromming

Bell pepper.. You?

@JacquesBoon @AaronAmarok Same in the Netherlands, if you do not manage to learn stick you get a disabled license that says you can only drive automatic. I love the "lekker" typo

@AaronAmarok I find it funny that in SA you get a different license if you can only drive an auto - Nothing as lekker as a heel and toe down to a corner

I always found it so funny how more and more people think manuals are this unforgiving task that suits only the strongest most talented drivers when in reality its the easiest thing ever

@JakeNoNumberNow @AaronAmarok When doing long drives in Europe, driving through for instance Germany or Denmark is hours of highest gear and cruise control

@AaronAmarok More so it's weird that Americans complain about it. Don't they have like absurdly large stretches of road to drive on? You end up on 4 or whatever is the highest gear depending on speed limits and don't touch the shifter for next hour.

@jdmterry @AaronAmarok Havent had a double clutch since i drive my uncles ugly ducklin (deux chevaux) not sure i can do it after 40ish years

@AaronAmarok Especially in modern cars with all their tech, bet 1 in 20 people could drive my 1968 manual truck.

@bagsfan75_Tony Can u pick all?

One has got to go for life

@cdrsalamander Sure , but according to your own language i can call München Muenchen and Köln Koeln. I know its frowned upon with city and personal names, but still

There are no umlauts in English. The nation that occupies Byzantium and its capital Constantinople is called, “Turkey.” Once you start spelling Munich, München, and Cologne Köln, then we can discuss otherwise.

@miraroodgroen Ik zou alvast pro-nl vast leggen

Heel rare naam, ‘mogelijk al op straat’. Zelf overweeg ik Progressief Nederland als nieuwe naam.

@lady_valor_07 (not a Norwegian) Leif Erikson was here first

What are the words?

@Moonlight_myths Genetics are weird, i look nothing like my parents, more like some of my uncles and aunts from both sides. Including the red hair. Got spatial awareness from grandpa, even though it skipped an entire generation on all of his kids.

My sister gave birth to a red-haired daughter. But she and her husband are both dark-haired. No one in our family has red hair. My sister insists that her husband's great-grandfather was red-haired, and that's how it was passed down. Her husband didn't believe her, especially since she has this one red-haired colleague at work. Anyway, he insisted on a DNA test, which they did after huge fights and screaming matches. My sister threw the paper in his face. It showed 99.9% he's the father. But he still doesn't believe it, says the test could have been faked or someone paid off the lab. He wants to do another one at a different lab, but my sister is afraid this will definitely lead them to divorce He's not even talking to my sister right now. But he says it's better to find out the truth and live with a clear conscience. He doesn't want to raise someone else's child. I believe my sister 100%, but I have to admit the situation is pretty bizarre. Does anyone know anything about genetics?

@mrmikeMTL Work related, but shorter so nobody gets it anymore

What's the story behind your username?

@wynrosei Im more worried about the color combination

The one the woman wants to wear. Weird question
