  • Is the blue in the bottom image the seas and oceans of the world or areas that China claims as the South China sea?

    Ramming Philippines ships in Phillipines waters is hardly peaceful conduct.

    Don’t get me wrong, USA are horrific and absolutely need to be held to account but that doesn’t mean China are good guys. All major world powers act like dicks to maintain their own interests.

    Oh, and since when is China socialist? The weather disparity there is hardly people’s ownership of the means of production.

    SystemD is not an init system. It provides that functionality, but processes have more life cycle steps than just initialize.

    When you accept that, you realise that you cannot compare them.

    SystemD provides functionality that they don’t. Of course those that refuse to consider this will just claim it’s bloat. To some DE’s are bloat.

    It does take space on the hard drive. Can easily remove desktop shortcuts. Telemetry on open source software doesn’t usually happen without consent and you can turn it off (Firefox for example).

    This is more of a feeling type thing. If it makes you feel good though, go ahead.

    Non-running software doesn’t affect performance as it isn’t anywhere near your RAM or CPU. What often people perceive of bloat is frequently software dependencies that are likely to be used over the course of the OS’s usage.

    Often I have found bloat free setups end up taking hours of digging out dependencies on multiple occasions. Life is too short. I have things to build.
