@bonifartius IME it's *really* hard to convince your parents to go to the hospital when they need it.
I don't blame them though, I'd probably do the same.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to appreciate systemd. The design sense is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the wicked garbage that goes in to running a PC the way people expect, the decisions will go over the typical user's head. There's also Lennart's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Upstart, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these design decisions, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about PCs. As a consequence people who dislike systemd truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humor in Lennart's decision to use an "an INI-like configuration language," which itself is a cryptic reference to Microsoft's Windows. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Lennart Poettering's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have a systemd tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

America has been infected with a pandemic, no not the ChiCom Flu hoax, the real pandemic attacking America is FASCISM. You can call it communism, progressivism, or any of its many names, but it is FASCISM and its vehicle is the DEMOCRAT party. The symbol for American FASCISM is not the swastika, it is the syringe. https://afnn.us/AP.asp?AU=89ZZ1705
@swiley I agree that for most jobs it doesn't make sense to mandate the vaccine, since it is a private medical concern. It is like mandating that you use soap or shampoo when you wash yourself.
They're not taking the election very well. Now they're telling us what they really think. #NoAgendaBannedCamp

Email mastodon+swiley@swiley.net (this makes all of my computers beep and turn on an indicator light and is always the fastest way to reach me.) I was on octodon a while ago but abandoned my account. I've never been a member of gab or parlor.
If you’d like to learn to program I would consider the SICP [1] more or less the peak of American CS pedagogy (at least as far as beginners go) along with “The Practice of Programming” once you get through that.
I play ukulele, I’m ok at reading music and decent at improv. I learned from Walter Piston’s “Harmony” and some of Adam Neely’s videos.
My main phone is a pine phone so if I don’t pick up when you call the battery is probably dead, the modem is probably dead, or I’m currently swearing at calls/pulseaudio/alsa. I’d strongly recommend sending an email instead.
Dispite what my web page says I’ve stopped uploading my scratch projects to GitHub once I started to understand the basics of collaboration with git. I was using the flamegraph as gamification/motivation but it doesn’t work as well with feature branch/squash merge workflows so I just keep most things on my VPS until I’m happy with publishing updates.
