  • I don't know how accurate this is or if it's still true but I remember hearing like twenty years ago that Germany has laws like that, including dealing with waste packaging, with the result that companies suddenly found ways to use more sustainable packaging

  • Use a kernel version that still has support to perform the copy before upgrading? If already upgraded, boot to the old kernel? Boot from a live iso that has support?

    I mean, this isn't exactly a hard problem to solve...

  • Okay, no. As much of an issue as I have with musk and the way he bullrushes into these things, this really was the right response at this point.

    It's a new tech. That goes into someone's brain. You do not just go rutting around up there if the first attempt failed, and further tests (which have a significant element of risk) shouldn't be in the brain that's already been through this, not until it's much better tuned.

    Brain surgery isn't a minor procedure.

    If they're able to fix it for him, there's a fair chance they will, I'd imagine.

    But continuing to dig around after that failure is what treating him like a disposable Guinea pig would look like because that's how they'd very likely kill him or substantially diminish his quality of life with brain damage.

    There are lots of real reasons to hate musk. This isn't one of them.

  • I always just kind of glazed over looking at that and just know "it's a fork bomb" and basically what it does

    With your explanation, I can now actually understand all the parts and how they work, it actually makes sense

  • My main issues are that it obfuscates things and seems to consume everything it can into itself.

    Honestly, if it were more transparent and designed in a way to easily facilitate swapping out components with alternatives, I'd be a lot more okay with it.

  • I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, SystemD/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, SystemD plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning SystemD system made useful by the SystemD corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the SystemD system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of SystemD which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the SystemD system, developed by the SystemD Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the SystemD operating system: the whole system is basically SystemD with Linux added, or SystemD/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of SystemD/Linux!
