schestowitz"While this work was spawned in the systemd camp, it's designed to run on Unix-like systems where systemd isn't supported (everything but Linux) in order to support the increasing number of end-user software packages depending upon systemd functionality, like GNOME."Sep 09 09:50
schestowitzThis is the point, I have no interest in systemd being implemented in BSD, and if those are only dependencies for software like Gnome then it will be enough to drop Gnome as well.Sep 09 09:50
schestowitzI was reading OpenBSD site yesterday and they do not implement pointless software just for the sake of having it; for example, they are going to drop Apache support due to license reasons.Sep 09 09:50
schestowitzThat does not mean that you cannot install Apache in OpenBSD, that only means that OpenBSD discourages installing it. And if software like Apache is not supported directly and OpenBSD is ditching OpenSSL due to security reasons, I think the Hell will froze before OpenBSD accepts systemd.Sep 09 09:50

schestowitzo, Jason, that's you projecting your own ignorance and bigotry onto a complete stranger and it's offensive. Software owners have filled your head with nonsense, that free software advocates are irrational radicals. You should ask people why they think what they do instead of mindlessly insulting them. That way, you might learn something.Sep 10 18:49
schestowitzMicrosoft is certainly evil in every sense of the word and it's right to distrust people who worked there. Their training teaches them all to be deceptive and destructive. They have always bragged about entering "mature markets" by taking them over from "loss leaders" by buying the work of weaker companies, polishing it a little and advertising it a lot. There are many stories showing that the company demands complete devotion andSep 10 18:49
schestowitzobedience [there's one for Bing too], but that they can't trust each other. If you don't like blind obedience and hate the rest of the world, you won't last long. There's also good evidence that hiring from Microsoft is a mistake [2, and Belluzzo and Elop].Sep 10 18:49
schestowitzI got a whiff of that from Valve the other day and decided to look them up. Sure enough, the company was founded by people from Microsoft.Sep 10 18:49
schestowitzWhat's really evil about Microsoft and Valve is that it's non free software and that turns your computer against you. At this point, thanks to Snowden, exactly how bad that can be for individuals and society as a whole should be obvious. Even games can be dangerously abused. The NSA used the Angry Birds game to spy on people. Do you want that in your living room?Sep 10 18:49
schestowitzRemembering the past and applying the lessons learned is not "blind" or irrational, it's the opposite. Forgetting those things and repeating mindless insults from Microsoft over and over like a mantra, is a better sign of religious delusion than a love of software freedom.Sep 10 18:49

schestowitz"While this work was spawned in the systemd camp, it's designed to run on Unix-like systems where systemd isn't supported (everything but Linux) in order to support the increasing number of end-user software packages depending upon systemd functionality, like GNOME."Sep 09 08:51
schestowitzThis is the point, I have no interest in systemd being implemented in BSD, and if those are only dependencies for software like Gnome then it will be enough to drop Gnome as well.Sep 09 08:51
schestowitzI was reading OpenBSD site yesterday and they do not implement pointless software just for the sake of having it; for example, they are going to drop Apache support due to license reasons.Sep 09 08:51
schestowitzThat does not mean that you cannot install Apache in OpenBSD, that only means that OpenBSD discourages installing it. And if software like Apache is not supported directly and OpenBSD is ditching OpenSSL due to security reasons, I think the Hell will froze before OpenBSD accepts systemd.Sep 09 08:51

schestowitzo, Jason, that's you projecting your own ignorance and bigotry onto a complete stranger and it's offensive. Software owners have filled your head with nonsense, that free software advocates are irrational radicals. You should ask people why they think what they do instead of mindlessly insulting them. That way, you might learn something.Sep 10 17:50
schestowitzMicrosoft is certainly evil in every sense of the word and it's right to distrust people who worked there. Their training teaches them all to be deceptive and destructive. They have always bragged about entering "mature markets" by taking them over from "loss leaders" by buying the work of weaker companies, polishing it a little and advertising it a lot. There are many stories showing that the company demands complete devotion andSep 10 17:50
schestowitzobedience [there's one for Bing too], but that they can't trust each other. If you don't like blind obedience and hate the rest of the world, you won't last long. There's also good evidence that hiring from Microsoft is a mistake [2, and Belluzzo and Elop].Sep 10 17:50
schestowitzI got a whiff of that from Valve the other day and decided to look them up. Sure enough, the company was founded by people from Microsoft.Sep 10 17:50
schestowitzWhat's really evil about Microsoft and Valve is that it's non free software and that turns your computer against you. At this point, thanks to Snowden, exactly how bad that can be for individuals and society as a whole should be obvious. Even games can be dangerously abused. The NSA used the Angry Birds game to spy on people. Do you want that in your living room?Sep 10 17:50
schestowitzRemembering the past and applying the lessons learned is not "blind" or irrational, it's the opposite. Forgetting those things and repeating mindless insults from Microsoft over and over like a mantra, is a better sign of religious delusion than a love of software freedom.Sep 10 17:50

schestowitzValve has led us to the point of some cautious trust (even FSF is not a detractor); for many years it ignored GNU/Linux and now it leverages it for its advantage.
