I don’t blame people for thinking that something is off after reading the linked blog post. This wouldn’t be the first time Google does something like this to OSS that poses some kind of potential threat to their business model (this is also mentioned in the post).

I get that part. I just don’t understand how the analogy relates to the programming languages. Maybe it really is just a shitty analogy from someone who doesn’t know much about either language.

I genuinely don’t get it.

It doesn’t, but the success shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Far worse things have been successful products.

He sometimes gets downvoted for it.

Rightfully so.

What is the benefit of specifically doing that in init?

What’s the alternative?

Also who loves systemd-resolved?

I don’t think I will ever love anything DNS-related, but it’s still the best solution I’ve used for name resolution on a system with many interfaces.

Most non-systemd users are either contrarians or people who don’t want to switch their workflow from some other system that they already know perfectly.

I will always welcome alternative systems on principle alone, but at this point there is not much need for linux “consumers” to consider anything else (unless their distro doesn’t ship with systemd of course).

1. Set lower bound by counting how many are visible in the photo
2. Grow disinterested
3. Guess some number above the result from step 1

wait… Are you telling me to set DNS redirects on all my local devices? Yeah, that’ll work, but why the even…

What do you mean by that? I’m pretty sure people are telling you to run a DNS server and set up entries for any clients you want to regularly connect to.

with only the fd part being the same for all intranets

Why?

Who pissed in your cereal this morning?

No. It’s important to me that people realize why they shouldn’t blindly trust a blanket statement about the safety of tap water. I’m expecting even the most impatient readers (like you, apparently) to digest that whole extra sentence. Sue me.

In most places it’s fine, in many places it’s superior to bottled water, in some places it’s a health hazard. Tourists should always do some basic research beforehand.

There are plenty of dog attacks that happen through no fault of the victim. It’s also completely unreasonable to expect every single person that might interact with your dog, by choice or not, to have experience in how to not appear threatening to it. For some dogs it really doesn’t take much and children are naturally adept at miscommunicating with animals. The solution is to train your dog and keep it on a leash in public. Be a responsible owner and accept that strangers don’t have to like your dog, no matter how cute or well-behaved you think it is. It’s not that hard.

The biggest red flag is judging people for superficial bullshit that might as well be residual childhood trauma. Most dog owners put barely any effort into training and that shows in the dog bite statistics. Fun fact, children don’t really understand how to deal with animals by themselves and since parents are about as competent at supervising and educating as the average dog owner, the demographic that gets bitten the most are children.

To me this looks nothing like Discord beyond having a compact sidebar… In fact, I would hope that Discord never inspires any software UI, because it really fucking sucks.

It’s probably not a good idea to infer how privacy friendly an open source software is, based on such a superficial visual similarity to a closed source proprietary product.

Could be a YTP quote

By “important or ‘good’ characters” I wasn’t trying to say “protagonists and morally good characters”, though there are certainly plenty of authors and directors who follow that rule.

Do medieval shows only hire conventionally unattractive men? I always thought the convention was to have attractive people play important parts or “good” characters, regardless of gender, but admittedly I don’t really watch many medieval shows.

That title alone is giving me indigestion.
