I love this bit from the article:

To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, “Busy now, please check back later.” (To be fair, in this case “check back later” is a good summary of what happened.)

Yeah exactly. It does have some features that require integration with the init system, which systemd obviously supports, but it could be used independently of systemd quite happily, and other init systems could easily support those integrations.

Its not a bad comparison. Sure, some details might differ, but the underlying concept of a build that only uses the open source code is the same.

Ooh, I love it! I’m inclined to go with the banner already. Any objections?

Not only do I support ducks here, I also support geese!

I assume they were watching a website like this one: https://reddark.rewby.archivete.am/

I’m loving Janelle Monáe’s new album! I’ve been listening to her music since The ArchAndroid, and it keeps getting better.

I think if he was in the thread trying to answer the hard questions, explaining how some of the apparently more l blatent lies were mistakes and apologising for them, and admitting that they need to go back to the drawing board and listen to the community more, then we’d all have regained a little trust in him and the company. But instead he’s ignoring most people and pretending everything is fine.

Thank you! Looking forward to helping out as this place grows.
