No it certainly is not.
Is there a premium on hyphens?


Yeah, fair. And 25.10 is a short-term release anyway. The point of it is to get a running start on 26.04.


They do have a habit of overcommitting to tools that are not yet ready.
Hast thou considered: while holding an item, hold up on the D-pad, then release B, then jump up in front of a climbable surface like a vine or a fence and hold B in time to catch the item. Now you’re climbing with the item.
Actually it’s Kitsune Tails.
Sorry, that’s not correct. SMB3 was released in 1988 in Japan. It was delayed in North America until 1990 and released in the same year as SMW, while Nintendo of America ironed out its Super Nintendo console launch.
Super Mario World, in fact, started development as a port of Super Mario Bros. 3.


A lot of people did, it’s a pretty important work culturally


To add a little: systemd is just a service manager. It manages services.
You can plug systemd-journald into it and now it does logging too. Or you can use rsyslog, or both together, or something else entirely.
You can treat your network connections like services (technically units) with systemd-networkd. Or you can use NetworkManager. Or both, or neither, etc.
You can treat mount points as units because somebody said “let’s define mounts in a new kind of unit file and have systemd initiate them as a service” or you could continue using fstab.
You could use systemd-resolved but you don’t have to. You could use systemd-udevd (you probably already do because most distros run it by default, though it still pulls from /etc/udev) but you don’t have to.
These are all optional extensions.
It turns out it’s really handy to have a robust service management backbone because you can plug any number of things into it, as long as you reimagine those things as services (again, technically units).
So what’s the controversy?
As far as I can tell, it boils down to “they shouldn’t have made systemd-networkd only be able to talk to systemd, they should have made it work with every possible init system”.
Which is understandable, but not really defensible.


Ooh, I’ll try that, thank you


It’s absolutely not. It tends to be bundled that way, but systemd does one thing. It does that one thing very well. There are many components that tie into it.
If you believe that defies the UNIX philosophy, then you must also believe that the kernel includes every aspect of a graphical desktop environment, just because the latter depends on the former.


It’s too good and people keep using it as a framework for their own tools and that’s bad for some reason


Debian closed that gap in Bookworm, where nonfree firmware was included in the install medium by default.


I’ve noticed sites are getting around Reader View by not loading all the content right off the bat. Just enough so you start to scroll so they can launch all the popups.
Means Reader mode only has a paragraph and a half to show.


I think there will always be interest in exploring the limitations of the time. This is a new way to do that. I think it’s pretty cool, even if it’s not the most “optimal”.


I switched to Arch full-time recently and I’ve got to say, it’s way more accessible than its impression suggests. It just… works. The installer is about as easy as any installer these days. There have been no major breakages, even due to my own stupid mistakes. There was the one linux-firmware package thing but that was really just a minor speed bump and the instructions were easy to follow.


People are still developing games and software for the original 8-bit hardware.


Depends on if they’re trying to make a profit or just share their cool stuff
Third. I swear by them (and got their keyboard too, in Family Basic colors, and mouse in NES colors).
The moment they put out a keyboard in Atomic Purple, I’m throwing a bunch more money at them.
