Mainstream news was already starting to turn into ragebait in the 80s, and by the mid 90s there was no integrity left. Video games never had any standards. If you think that things were good back then that is just the proof that you had lower standards. It’s okay. We all had lower standards as kids. That’s perfectly normal. It’s important to acknowledge it though.

Nah. There were a few print magazines with some integrity, but there are still some websites with integrity. The really popular stuff has always been PR though. You just had lower standards as a kid.

Video game journalism has always just been third party PR, but journalists almost all absolutely love Fromsoft games. It’s user reviews that complain about them being too hard.

Of course, by “call out” they mean sort of vaguely point out that they exist without actually saying anything meaningful, and that will still somehow be too political for the “gamers”.

Who said anything about giving things away? You just made that up. What, you think immigrants are stealing your jobs and also not paying rent? That’s not how thing work in the real world. The only people getting your stuff are the prisons full of innocent people who just wanted a chance at a better life.

Remember, if you want to let other people move, it also automatically gives them the legal right to steal your house and leave you homeless. That’s why I’m living under a bridge while a family from Mississippi has taken my house. Its okay though. They were born on the plot of dirt between Canada and Mexico, so really that means they’re defending my freedom by stealing my house.

I mean, I’m all for giving jobs to humans and all, but isn’t monitoring a bunch of numbers and sending an alert when they go wrong one of the few things computers are actually objectively better at than humans are?

Edit: Holy crap people. I understand that they’re probably not there for that purpose. That was the entire point I was trying to make. You don’t ALL need to point out the obvious to me.

I didn’t say there were better options. I didn’t say it shouldn’t have been adopted. I said it has some drawbacks, wasn’t rolled out very well, and I miss having other options even if they aren’t as generally useful for everyone, and it is inevitable that some people would complain because of that. That isn’t a problem. It’s okay to complain sometimes. We all do it.

It’s a giant mess of interconnected programs that could theoretically still be disentangled, but in practice never are. It was very quickly and exclusively adopted by pretty much every major distro in a short period of time, functionally killing off any alternatives despite a lot of people objecting. Also, its creator was already pretty divisive even before systemd, and the way systemd was adopted kinda turned that into a creepy hate cult targeted at him.

There’s nothing actually wrong with systemd. I personally wish there was still more support for the alternatives though. Systemd does way more than I need it to, and I just enjoy having a computer that only does what I want.

I mean, it’s at +4 and 83% upvotes. That’s just 5 upvotes and 1 downvote. There’s always that one guy.
