I have no opinion whatsoever regarding transpeople outside of everyone should be able to do whatever they want with themselves but I'm amused that you could basically rephrase your sentence like that:

> If you're stating that point to [say something I agree with], all well and good. If you're just using it to [say something I disagree with], it's less valuable IMO

> Do _you_ want to be on the side that argues that

This is not a two sided discussion where each camps agree in block with a set list of propositions. It's also not manichean with things being either completely true or false, right or wrong or, good or evil. You are not either for or against. If you believe that, you are the problem.

We should be able to explore these subjects in their full complexity with the disagreement that entails. It's not even possible anymore in academia.

You will not get an interesting conversation on these topics on an American discussion board. These topics are a minefield.

Plenty of the things which are pushed unconditionally in the US right now should be debatable and debated. Some concepts like cultural appropriation look clearly dubious to my French self. The issue is that having a debate has become impossible. In some circles, you will be quartered for daring to express that there exists differences between men and women which might not be socially constructed.

I don’t care about having this kind of influence. These are tools. I want the tools I use to be good so I buy good tools.

It’s not about low quality discussion. A significant part of the Linux community seems to me to be deeply toxic and that leads to what I consider to be suboptimal technical choices.

Every log ever is a transcodification of a system state. What difference does it actually make that it is emitted into systemd structured format before being put into your logger?

Seems like a pointless complain to me. It’s arguing for the sake of it.

Musl is mostly a good libc.

There are some very unfortunate ideological choice made by its author but they are not the one you quote. The reluctance to give developers a way to detect Musl from C code would be a better exemple. It’s both annoying and counterproductive.

> The most reasonable solution seems to me to be that nohup is instead adapted to do the semantically correct thing and tell systemd in the modern way that it should run the nohup command in a detached session.

That was proposed to nohup when systemd introduced the modification. It’s what nohup does on macOS.

A very productive discussion was happening but then the anti-systemd mob showed up with pitchforks, brigaded the discussion on the bug tracker and made sure nothing good would come out of it.

That’s when I personally decided Linux was a lost cause and definitely switched to macOS.

What does canonical log even means here?

Systemd will produce logs in its own structured representation and write them straight away as plain text in the logger of your choice. For all intent and purpose, you now have text logs.

It’s even more difficult to understand when you consider than text files are themselves binary logs and given how many encoding they can have they are not even trivial ones.

People should just call systemd logs structured rather than binary because that’s what they are. Sure it means you need a shim if you want to view them as plain text but it’s not like we are talking about some unfathomable complexity here.

> Numerous cases of that.

Like when? Because I have interacted with projects where Lennart is part of the admin team and from where I stand it’s all in your head.

Both bugs and security are taken seriously.

> The above doesn't represent my personal opinion, it's a representation of what reasons people might have.

I admire the courage you display in standing for your opinion.

> Not once did I encounter an employee who regularly interacted with another outside of work related functions.

No offense to you but statistically 40% of people have dated a coworker at least once and people hold on average 12 jobs in their life so if you interacted with 1000 persons there is a good chance that at least 30 of them were definitely interacting with a coworker outside of work related function.

I think most people do. That's people you see all the time you are bound to develop some kind of relationship with them.

I regularly still see at least one person from all of my previous jobs and have regular friendly interaction with more.

It seems weird to me that you can spend so much time at work and not find friends there.

I hate OneDrive because Office apps have some extremely strange interaction with it. They are not always in sync with the main client.

There is nothing like changing an excel file, having it correctly modified locally but still seeing the old data in a linked PowerPoint because OneDrive didn't update.

It also managed to lose me a day of work once despite having saved the file regularly. None of my modifications were properly synched to the history.

I also hate how it pauses itself when I'm sharing my phone connection and tends to struggle when I restart it.

I used to really dislike Google Drive before my company migrated but between that and the abysmal outlook search I really miss Google.
