If they spend 50k on a videogame, then they have 50k to spend by definition, whether or not it’s actually their money. If it’s not actually their money, then I have even less sympathy.

I’ll give another example. I have a lot of sympathy for opiate addicts. I have zero sympathy for opiate addicts who steal from their friends and family.

Nah, if you’re going to hide your bad choices behind clinical language, then you need therapy. If you’re not getting therapy and you have 50k to spend, then that’s a you problem.

Meh my sympathy only runs so far.

Our next innovation will allow you to work 48 hours per day!

That’s a great reason! Why use a computer at all if you can’t look cool while you use it?

From reading all of these comments, I think I have to agree. It seems like systemd as “the tool” is ok (I know there’s some argument there too), but systemd as the project and ecosystem seems to go a bit against the soul of GNU and Unix.

My question was just curiosity. If there’s a good reason to switch to something else, I’d like to know, you know?

Ah ok. Is that different for runit or the other typical alternatives?

Can someone persuade me to not use systemd without using the word ‘bloat?’

Exactly, I think it just comes down to being good practice. There’s a 99.99% chance that any unfamiliar system has one of vi, vim, emacs. Not bad to be familiar with one or each.

That’s valid. In theory, because you’re downloading open source on there, you could audit the apps you download, but don’t know anyone who does that unless it’s their job.

Wouldn’t that be the same for any other alternative? That’s what a monopoly does.
