@sim @clacke I mostly manage this, by, well - not. I am not really interested in engaging with people who are going to insist I defend positions I don't hold or I am not in the group I identify myself with. These people are not debating or conversing in good faith and I don't really care what they think of me or my beliefs. -

@clacke @lnxw48a1 Improving the interconnectedness of the federation is one of my big long-term goals with postActiv, because the more resilient the network, the better it is for everyone involved, and people shouldn't have to understand all the various eccintricities of federation to participate in the Fediverse. -

@andlabs @verius @clacke There's several, but they all get drowned out by systemd. At least one of them was pretty much literally run off by the systemd cultists. -

@verius journalctl is the root of most of the problems I've had too. I'd probably be fine if you could get rid of it and just use standard logging, to be honest, but short of hacking it out of the code and compiling the whole mess yourself, there isn't one I'm aware of.
Runit is probably the alternative init system I like myself, because it replaces the init _and nothing else_. It's short, it's portable, and it's easy to fuck around with. -

@verius To be fair I don't know if that's a ubuntu/debian packaging thing or if it's just how systemd comes. -

@verius That and the whole thing seems to involve more and more just ... stuff. Some of it is useful and some of it isn't. But you can't seperate the good stuff from the bad (at least with how ubuntu and debian package systemd, and I assume others) and the whole "removing the element of choice" thing just rubs me the wrong way. -

@verius My anti-systemd sentiment comes from having to repair numerous broken linux systems where it was either the reason that things broke or exacerbated existing problems significantly. -

@takeshitakenji Got the VMs set up anyways, just waiting for a time pztrn and I are both available so it can get all transferred over. And hopefully not explode in the process. -

@verius Yeah, and while I'm not bundling you in here, a lot of the complaints I hear about C++ and Java from people tend to be of the kind that make me think they come from a place of not having much programming discipline. -

@verius I don't mind programming in Java if its all my code, but the monstrosities that Ive seen others make in it resemble looking upon the eldritch. -

If you think any of the major proprietary software corps care about the quality or security of the software you're using, I don't think you've been paying attention. -

"Uber is using a tool called "Greyball" to work identify requests made by certain users and deny them service, according to the report. The application, later renamed the "violation of terms of service" or VTOS program, is said to employ data analysis on info collected by the Uber app to identify individuals violating Uber's terms of service, and blocks riders from being able to hail rides who fall into that category -- including, according to the report, members of code enforcement authorities or city officials who are attempting to gather data about Uber offering service where it's currently prohibited. The report claims that that Uber's "violation of terms of service" or VTOS program, briefly known as Greyball, began around 2014, and has sign-off from Uber's legal team."
It is literally obstruction of justice if they are intentionally trying to prevent legal investigations by police and they should get hauled over the coals by the crown attorney here if this happened here. -

It is necessary that even the closest held scientific facts are held to scrutiny and scepticism. We do not come fully equipped, and do not have all the answers. Our understandings are as flawed as we are, and they constantly adapt and change, sometimes even previously-held truisms are completely shattered by science when we discover some breakthrough. Nothing is written in stone, and we should not act like it is. To do so has no place in science. -

"One of the reasons for its success is that science has a built-in, error-correcting machinery at its very heart. Some may consider this an overbroad characterization, but to me every time we exercise self-criticism, every time we test our ideas against the outside world, we are doing science. When we are self-indulgent and uncritical, when we confuse hopes and facts, we slide into pseudoscience and superstition."
