    I have no idea what upstart is or how to use it.

    The submission page [soylentnews.org] on the site works just as it has always done. Upstart is on IRC for those who prefer to use it.

    Upstart was a good attempt. But systemd is what all the distros were required to standardize on. So use systemd to help the editors.

      systemd is the bot, upstart is the product.

      We are discussing a bot on IRC and the submission process which is nothing more than "=submit https://url/of/your/news/story" [url] ...... I think you may be thinking, quite reasonably, of something slightly different?

        Actually, I did understand the difference. I probably should have put some subtle clue in that joke.

          Another problem with the current editorial staff: near complete lack of humor. (FatPhil has some, but tends Republican.)

            I too find FatPhil has some lack of humor.
