Is the blue in the bottom image the seas and oceans of the world or areas that China claims as the South China sea?

Ramming Philippines ships in Phillipines waters is hardly peaceful conduct.

Don't get me wrong, USA are horrific and absolutely need to be held to account but that doesn't mean China are good guys. All major world powers act like dicks to maintain their own interests.

Oh, and since when is China socialist? The wealth disparity there is hardly people's ownership of the means of production.

Does not surprise me in the slightest. The mask for Keir is starting to slip for the public. While they were rightly keen to move on from the previous government, they didn't really kick the tires and see the autocratic nature in which he and his team run the party. For example, suspending thousands of members for years, frequently without stating why, due to them being on the left of the party.

The guy also hired a former Israeli spy to a prominent position.

Point taken. Saves me some clicking!

Great talk on SystemD for those that are interested: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo&pp=2AHFBpACAQ%3D%3D

  1. no. Processes have a life cycle other than init. Fire and forget with bash scripts is backwards.

  2. I am no expert on this and could not do this answer justice. A quick search will provide a better and more detailed answer. That is if you are willing to consider that SystemD provides benefits. The way you wrote your question gives me vibes that you do not want to, so this debate would be fruitless.

If you're genuinely curious Benno Rice has a great talk on SystemD: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo&pp=2AHFBpACAQ%3D%3D

Lol. You went from Windows user to extreme Arch user in a very short period of time (SystemD hate).

There is Alpine and Void Linux which are commonly known of and used. Plus more: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_distributions_without_systemd

Most distros independently decided that SystemD was superior. They had a choice and they chose. Distros are often maintained by volunteers in their free time. Same with software that depends on it. Expecting them to provide poor irrelevant choices is not how open source works. You're passing on your backbreaking work onto other people. If you want another option, you give your time to make it happen.

SystemD is not an init system. It provides that functionality, but processes have more life cycle steps than just initialize.

When you accept that, you realise that you cannot compare them.

SystemD provides functionality that they don't. Of course those that refuse to consider this will just claim it's bloat. To some DE's are bloat.

No, but to have food shopping budget split amonsts them is illogical.

You go shopping without money in your account?

Don't need them. Halifax has online banking in a browser. When they merged with Lloyd's, they moved systems so I'm assuming it's the same for Lloyd's.

I personally would go with the previous model, and the A version. When 7 came out, I got a 6A for £299 new. Wouldn't spend much more unless I had to.

Here I will pin a list of recommendations for software. Getting started can be daunting, and it'd be great to pull that information together here for newcomers so they can take practical steps to degoogle their lives.

Hi. Is there a tool to see fastest growing Lemmy communities? It's easy to see the big communities, but it would be helpful to see fast growing communities to join in with community building for things you may have an interest in. is there anything that currently does this?

 

This one is definitely the hardest and is the least mature. Have you managed to get off Google on your phone?

I'm using GrapheneOS (Degoogle'd android) on a Pixel 6a. The irony isn't lost on me that I had to buy google to get off google.

I had tried Pinephone and Plasma mobile, but it still needs more work and I needed a phone sooner as my old one was failing.

How about you? Did you manage to get away from Google?
