What sound does a cow make? Moo. What sound does a dog make? Woof. What sound does a cat make? Meow. What sound does a pig make? UP AGAINST THE WALL MOTHER FUCKER.

People are surely entitled to their own opinions. I read yours. I've concluded that you're a moron.

my homie refdesk just called and said "we are so fucking back"

Yup, same here. Never really understood the G-Shock thing until I got one. The 5610U is truly one of the best watches hands down, and they're cheap. I find myself using timers and alarms much more because I may not have my phone at all times (around the house etc). Solar to boot? It really doesnt get much better, they're fantastic.

Have to agree. Siamese Dream by the Smashing Pumpkins executes on this so perfectly.

I don't remember the specific article I read that dove into this but it was essentially sold due to it being one of the first large data collections (user data). I'm not sure the extent its traweled now but before the social media machine took off, it was the largest if not one of the largest concentrations of actual data points to run algorithms against.

Love that they clarified that after being called out, as if that somehow makes it more acceptable. "See? It was to charity guys, you think making money for charity is a bad thing?" While still missing the mark completely and refusing to send said prototype back.

Talk about moving goalposts. They fucked up.

Not quite. Even the accepted amount poses increased threats to being diagnosed with cancer (it is a carcinogen at the end of the day): https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohols-effects-health/alcohols-effects-body

It is incredibly worse with breast cancer too.

"Evidence is consistent that intake, even intake of less than 10-15 grams per day, is associated with increased risk of this disease"

They both achieve the same thing in different ways, but it comes down to philosophy if that even matters to the user. You can build gentoo for example with openrc or systemd, and depending on what you do you'll need to integrate things differently (using elogind with openrc since logind is systemd specific). In gentoo it affects how you'll compile. Its really a non issue, but it all depends on what level folks wanna spend on something that could potentially be different. I use openrc daily on multiple setups and it took maybe a week of using it to get the hang of it. Its just operationally different.

Does it really matter for most folks? No. But if its something you find interesting, it can be a nice change based on personal views and principles. I run openrc because I personally as a programmer don't believe in how "proprietary" systemd is designed, nor agree with the decisions the maintainers have made. That's just my opinion. At the end of the day it doesn't technically matter.

This is a more hardcore viewpoint but it covers a lot of the issues folks have with it. https://suckless.org/sucks/systemd/

Yeah, definitely the downfall that spans way back to IBM. Thankfully my place gives that choice to folks (Apple and Microsoft both being proprietary but hey one is Unix based).

I'm so happy that I never have to use that dog shit OS ever again, or any of their software for that matter.

Man shut the fuck up lmao
