That's protectionism, not capitalism.

"What should we do to get more people working in the health sector?"

"Better pay and more manageable shifts!"

"Roll back privatization to shift the focus to sustainability over profits!"

"I'd just enslave the youth again."

It isn't always deliberate, I can guarantee you that.

You are making it sound like China and its large corporations weren't also very interested in profits and market domination.

I find the political discourse, at least on some topics, very juvenile on Lemmy. You know, screeching about how billionaires aren't people but parasites and need to die, hundreds of upvotes. That's some edgy, frustrated teenager bullshit. Or at least it should be, guess some people never got the memo about inalienable rights, equal treatment, vigilantism and how two wrongs don't make a right.

Seriously, this thirst for blood is disturbing and if it isn't just venting then, well, look how the French Revolution turned on people. That wasn't very poggers.

There's also this idea that everybody who isn't 100% on board needs to be defooed and marked, preferably as a fascist. Which plays into the hands of the actual fascists because the non-fascists hate each other too much to collectively tell them to fuck off, despite their differences.

There, that's my venting done for today.

I hear the voice of the machine spirit!

It's almost like marketing makes it sound like it's a fully-managed, worry-free service where users can just call up Bill Gates himself instead of hundreds of management portals someone has to babysit.

I’d have to get used to the syntax and writing my own scripts but if the majority of Linux distros switched to it tomorrow I’d enjoy it.

I don't think I wrote more than one or two init scripts during my years of using Gentoo, the packages usually come with them. The newer syntax looks like you can get by with just a few variables and a dependency definition, not that different from a unit file I think.

Do you have to write and maintain your own init scripts, or is that created during installation?

Packages should come with the necessary scripts (on Gentoo and Alpine they do), but if they don't for some reason then writing them is pretty simple. I think the updated layout really only needs dependencies and a couple variables defined.

Void uses Runit which is even simpler, you have one directory per service and at least a script called "run" in there which gets executed by the supervisor. The is usually just one line, that's all it takes to make a service work. It also has the supervisor take care of handling logging, similar to what Systemd does. I think it's a very clean, modern take on classic init, except that dependency/ordering doesn't exist - it just retries until things fall into place. Works well though.

I’m just glad I chose arch instead of Gentoo. I got plenty of will power to learn something new but waiting hours or even days for a bunch of software to compile was too much for me.

But the documentation is really good and I like the simplicity of OpenRC. Give Void or Alpine a go if you want to dip your toes into something similar, but without all the compiling.

Man... in a better world Nintendo wouldn't have a case because liberating encryption keys is the basis for interoperability, which is good for, you know, competition. Competition is good. Or so I've heard.

Then it’s looked like that for at least a decade, nice.

Imagine they have new versions with new UIs, but legacy businesses ain’t gonna pay for those upgrades and retraining and re-integration costs!

Imagine that they want every customer to move to their new "cloud" system, S/4HANA, come hell or high water. Because that's happening, apparently.

I hate the app so much, it always starts to play random shit while I'm just browsing/searching.

I got one, even though they must know that I'm not a US resident. Hope the people who didn't leave at least aren't dumb enough to give them money. "Special program" bullshit reads like a scam mail.

You already are on a Linux sub, so... Maybe you can start here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHyaFBsxy1s

I love how a software bug that scrambled his newsgroup subscriptions introduced him to the fandom, that's so unbelievably nerdy.

But honestly: Those pipeline memes kinda rub me the wrong way. It feels like fucking with people's identity by way of stereotyping for... I don't know, a laugh, if that's even the point? Saying this as someone who completely fits the furry in IT stereotype.

Heck, the good king being kept in the dark by his evil underlings is a really old trope too.
