they’re talking about inheritance as a suggested new way to pay for your copilot subscription

it’s like how the linux kernel isn’t semver: the number after the decimal point has a maximum of .19 and then the first number increments

except that one time

kernel version 4.20 is the only .20 kernel version

tmux > gnome

they’ll mug ya for a ciggie all right!

no i’m saying that insurance has nothing to do with what i’m saying… government provided healthcare follows a whole different set of rules: i keep pushing back on that point and you keep bringing up insurance, which i agree would show absolutely nothing

however anything that has the government paying for it has has to pass significant hurdles before it gets added to the list of approved treatments - scientific hurdles; not just hand wavy nonsense

chiro might be unregulated where you are, but in australia it is regulated as a medical profession: https://www.chiropracticboard.gov.au/ which is part of AHPRA - the australian health practitioner regulation agency: https://www.ahpra.gov.au/

codeberg seems to be the new hotness

you install a distro because of all the software it includes and how they interact out of the box

you’re completely right that systemd is a background service that most people don’t care about, but it does make the whole system more reliable, and much easier to administer for servers or workstations (enterprise management; not personal)

you certainly do want an init system… even sysv-init is an init system: you need something that runs as pid 1 that triggers other services. systemd starts services, and also ensures they’re in the correct security contexts, running as the correct users, makes sure they’re healthy, tracks dependencies (not just order; this speeds things up because it can be parallel, ensures failures don’t cascade, and means there’s far less jank in random bash scripts)

this isn’t a big political statement: this is an acknowledgment that linux users - not all, but some - will want/require something like this… and systemd user database is the place where that information is stored on modern linux systems

waiting for california would be us-centrism… california isn’t the only place in the world that exists; it was just the trigger

forget cookies, reload, begin; forget cookies, reload, begin

… auto clicker

they’ve said “we speak for the widest used extended user service in linux”… because… that’s what they are

to say they “speak for the distros” is ridiculous: in that case, every time they merge a feature they “speak for the distros”… they speak for their own software, which is implemented by distros precisely because they implement things like this

i agree… the fact that public health care does, given the rigorous structures that are in place to follow medical advice, does though

ah yes of course and that’s a simple problem rather than a complex web of interconnected issues

that’s a load of crap… australia had a mass shooting, we banned guns, now we have no more gun problem… the police have literally nothing to do with it

and i agree for things covered by health insurance alone: we have similar… you can get private health insurance in australia that covers crap like homeopathy too, and they also cover a huge amount more chiro than the government does

because theyre being pragmatic… laws are starting to be introduced around the globe for parental controls - whatever that means in each jurisdiction. given that, there needs to be options available to people wanting to, or required to comply with said laws… the best place to do that is in a user record, as an optional field… extensible user records, in modern linux, are stored in systemd

it needs it in a similar manner to how it needs location, email, real name, etc: it doesn’t functionally need it, but it’s a place to store the metadata associated with a user such that other applications can use it

because whilst systemd-initd is the part that everyone is generally aware of, that’s linked to systemd-logind so that processes can be started as different users… process init, session management, and user management are intertwined

they don’t have to be for sure - sysv init proves that - but in modern linux, they are and that comes with a load of benefits

good thing it’s entirely optional then!

or just don’t set it

tell me you have only a passing understanding of how modern linux is architected without telling me you have only a passing understanding of how modern linux is architected

don’t write it off completely… yes there’s a bunch of bullshit, but it’s also not entirely quack shit

australia’s healthcare system covers chiropractic in limited circumstances, and our system is generally very good at evidence-based health (you’re allowed to get private health insurance to cover alternative medicines if you want but stuff the government pays for is well supported by evidence)

with a GP referral and chronic condition management plan (written by your GP: this is an offical well defined thing) you get up to 5 total visits to “allied health” professionals which includes chiro, physio, dieticians, etc
