linux no-systemd minimalism

Direct message

Adding NoScript in librewolf and learning to choose what you want to see, and whether if scripts are enabled to do it on a private window, may be time consuming. But it shows the extent blackmail goes on by pages to allow them to collect data from you.

I often decide I don’t need the information they supply that bad!

One out of five pkgs in AUR are so unmaintained they don’t even build anymore.

Clieaning up junk is more urgent than screening what comes on.

The majority of people speak of junk/fast food 3 brands of soda, 2, 3 brands of coffee/tea, 2 brnands of tropical fruit ,3 brands of power-drinks, 3 brands of beer,
as nutrition, 2 brands of phone OSs, and it is all crap if not bad for you.

So what is your point?

What is popular is what has been marketed, and it is usually both dominant and a very poor alternative to what it sells for.

I am clearly speaking of the @linux bot constantly pumping systemd only distros, gnome, kde plasma, chrome, qt and other corporate trash that ubuntu mint manjaro debian have embraced as their devs are on the corporate payroll

Init is just one process, 98% of systemd is its logind, or its isolated fork called elogind, and its multilayered dbus labyrinth, which all those mentioned use. Running gnome and its applications without it is nearly impossible
@Rustmilian

The one article almost literally says if you don’t like systemd go to F**BSD and away from linux!

But yes, there are those irrelevant 3 mentions in a site as old as systemd itself.

RedHat is/was to IBM what Qt is to Oracle, vehicles of domination into the open free ecosystem. Marketing dictates what “free” code to use.

Show me 1 ONE article in phoronics that “mentions” alternatives to systemd, and I will not speak of linux or foss ever again!

That would be #OpenRC #S6 #66 #Runit #DaemonTools #Synit etc.

@Rustmilian Now that is #marketing not #FOSS

Qt’s late licensing is more insulting and provocative than MS Oracel IBM Google Facebook put together.

It probably took a 5story legal firm to disect through GPL licensing to figure out a way they can sell and not be open unless you pay

You mean it is a community that exclusively publishes corporate products as linux making no acknowledgement that alternatives exist?

And they have made money not by sharing but by monopolizing and selling, which makes them who they are.

You are a foul if you think a for profit (even non-profit) corporation will have an interest advancing Open and Free software. They are there to OWN code and trade names, MARKET trade names, to defeat alternatives that lack corporate/banking funding.

2 Do you honestly think one can just make a fake account up, register, and publish an AUR pkg with rogue code that easy? There are checks for code whether it is safe or not, whether it is asking for right elevation, altering the filesystem’s rights, etc.
You are making it sound like registering for X and publishing a tweet.

3 The most dangerous software I see on AUR is browser bins by the BIG NAMES not the little script stuff.
People are afraid of people instead of large corps
