That Hurds 😜

Yes, but the centralization runs so much deeper! We should ditch the centralized linux kernel and create at least 10 completely new kernels that are barely compatible to each other but will ensure our freedom and provide choice to the community!

I fear you missunderstood me: I think systemd with all the integrated features and tools is great, having all the features and tools is such a huge benefit for a professionell sysadmin who has to connect to and administrate lots of customer server every day.

But that is my opinion, I fully accept that people don’t like systemd and that’s the great thing with Linux: If you don’t like a component then you are free to drop it and use something else. So have fun with your systemd free systems!

That is so true. For me, who works as a Systemadministrator, systemd is about the best thing that happened to linux in a long time! It makes my work so much easier

One of the many benefits of having open source drivers, like RADV

I used a lot over the last 25 years of Linux, started with Debian, Suse Linux, then some years with Gentoo (i learned so much in that time, I can recommend it), and now I am using Arch.

Arch gives me lots of the freedoms and possibilites that I am used to from Gentoo but without the constant pain of compilation. I have Arch on my Desktop, all my servers, my NAS

The login is a great Option for people like me who have a youtube account, in my case with premium even, but prefere the features and design of this app over the official one.

In this case privacy, in regards of my music taste and hearing patterns, is something I don’t care about much.

Ok cool, I was not aware of that page. Thank you!

Preamble: The following is only a extreme example to illustrate a core problem. It doesn’t show or represents my personal opinion.

Ok, the UDHR has the right to life, does that mean that no doctor or clinic who is pro-abortion should be allowed to use or work on FOSS Software? A lot of people would say that abortion is in hard conflict with the right to life and with that against the declaration of human rights.

Having a declaration of rights only helps with the groundwork but all the Details are a huge mess and often include lots of devils.

What you want was very performant and easy doable with X11 (by its nature as a client/server architecture), but not with wayland. The additional Software layers on top of wayland will destroy performance and introduce all kind of issues.

Thats the price we have to pay for the shiny new things

The landlord has valid rights too, fighting policeman is definitively the wrong solution to this problem. The proper way would be in implementing a wellfare system that helps this (mostly old/sick) people when they can’t pay their bills. Fighting policemen for evicted people would be like only putting a bandaid over a punctured arthery. It may help for a, very short, time but in the end leads to nowhere.

But this is a tangent and topic that is very interessting to discuss but i fear is way to offtopic for this place

I would fight the law itself, not single persons.

So you say that opinion and subjective classification of good or bad is the only valid measurement?

That is the issue with double standard, everyone has their own subjective viewpoint of good or bad, of morality, of which laws to ignore and which to follow. And a lot of really bad things are done all the time in the name of good and moral reasons!

Why make any law at all if only personal, subjectiv morallity matters?

When the Ai companys acted after this maxime, ignore laws until getting sued, there was a huge outrage but here everyone wants the same from open source companies and developers.

It seems that double Standards are fine after all.

Governor Gavin Newsom signed the California Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043) into law on October 13, 2025.

It is a valid law, it only has a postponed start date of January 2027 to give everyone time to get their Systems ready.

In advance of what? The law is already enacted, and the time until it gets active is exactly there for preparation and development.

It would be in advance if he had done it when the law was still in the plan phase, but that is way done.

It is not complying in advance, it is beeing prepared for when the law becomes active and binding.

This can happen when gquotas are enabled, thats why gquotas are not recommended with snapshots

as far as I read the law, but i am neither a lawyer or even american, are those Option only needed for Systems with users and a user, as defined by the same law, is

(i) “User” means a child that is the primary user of the device.

The law says nothing about Systems that don’t have such a “user”, or at least i could not find anything.

So, there could be a valid argument that the law does differentiate.
