    It really is just natural selection killing off the weak and unworthy, while letting the strong and robust excel.

    Funny, as someone who uses systemd and likes it, this is exactly how I see systemd haters. :-)

    So before proclaiming systemd the ubermensch I guess you have tried out the alternative inits in Voidlinux, BLFS, calculate...?

      No, because I don't see a reason to, much as I don't see a reason to try out MINIX (or other kernels). The reason I don't is because I have informed myself about the design rationale behind systemd and it's ecosystem, as well as the counterarguments provided by it's detractors, and the design rationale behind a few (admittedly not all) of the alternative systems, and as per my own criteria I found the final balance to be well in favor of systemd, despite the compromises it involves, much as I find the balance in favor of Linux, despite the compromises it, too, involves.

      Whether my criteria matches reality or not will be settled by reality itself, not by a flame fest on a forum, which is why I don't participate much in discussions.

        Bet you support women's rights too and oppose men marrying young female children.

        You remind me a lot of someone I used to know.

        He's one of those people who does stuff because those things are awesome, and if they weren't awesome he wouldn't do them and he's awesome by extension, because he's done these things that make him awesome.

        Like the time he diagnosed my brain injury as "using the computer too much." When I told him that he was wrong and I had a clinical diagnosis to prove it he told me he had asked a doctor.

        This is how you sound.
