cool article

which makes me wonder why there are people who still avoid systemd. i get that alpine can't use glibc, but what about everyone else? i just see vague statements about systemd being "too big" or going "against unix philosophy", but never concrete disadvantages of systemd compared to other pid-1s

edit: also, i wonder how viable would it be to port systemd to musl or whatever alpine uses so that they can take advantage of it

we all have our most wanted missing features but if i'm being honest i don't see how session saving should take priority over e.g. rendering protocols

i think i know what happened: the text looks different depending on the client/interface. i first read it on thunder and it looked fine, but i'm now on lemmy web using the vanilla theme and it looks like this:

sadly, the web has become so complex and it changes so fast that it's now almost impossible to keep up with the standard, so only google and mozilla are able to do it

thanks google!

as a brazilian, i have a few ideas as to why latam participation in the survey was so low and i don't think it has much to do with low linux usage

  1. lemmy isn't very popular in brazil yet, even inside the brazilian fediverse. my current instance is a few months old and it is one of the first brazilian lemmy instances

  2. unlike europeans, the overwhelming majority of brazilians is monolingual. only 5% of brazilians have any level of english knowledge and 1% are proficient. even if lemmy was popular in brazil, most people wouldn't even see the survey anyway

i don't know for sure about the rest of latam (and the global south for that matter), but I'm willing to bet both of these points apply

systemd is a system daemon, not an init system

also, why should applications avoid depending on useful features?

i don't know much about openrc, but doesn't it use sysvinit? one of the major advantages of systemd is ditching sysvinit
