It's friday the 13th, so you know what happens now! That's right there's a new #systemd v260~rc4 out and about, better close the windows and lock the doors:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v260-rc4

This crusade against #systemd over AI-contribution guidelines is performative.

You'll never know if contributions were AI-generated anyway. Better to require disclosure and clear rules than pretend the problem doesn't exist.
If developers use AI regardless (and they do) make them declare it openly and follow project guidelines.

It's more pragmatic than silence.

#AI #opensource

Artix Linux sure looks appealing all of a sudden. I think I might go ahead and install the Cinnamon edition with Dinit on my desktop. I've been wanting to do some distro hopping here lately, anyways.

#Systemd isn't really going the auto-merging route and everything is still getting checked by hand. I just hope they don't compress any important details by using some AI thingamajig throughout all review processes. No dirty shortcuts should be taken, only concise continuous integration with each module doing one simple thing and doing it well.

Openrc ¡calienta que sales!

@cwebber Oh my. So glad I changed all my systems to Devuan when Debian started using systemd.

Pas trop le moral ce soir.

Je crois dans le #libre depuis 27 ans. Et il n'a jamais été aussi nécessaire.

Et maintenant je vois tous ces projets qui s'auto-enshittifient......

#systemd #debian

Are those #systemd pricks who are so cynical in a "means justify the ends" manner understand that cynicism can be both ways.

World IS a complex place.

You can defend your little helpy AI reviewing your little C program, i can defend those who are getting fucked to have your advanced Microslop clippy trained.

Fragmentation is the most underrated feature in FOSS. Hopefully will come back in fashion.

Changing the init system used by Debian (during install or on a running system).

Oh no, systemd started using LLMs. 🙁

Every mainstream Linux distribution from Ubuntu to Arch uses systemd as far as I know.

So just as users are migrating from Windows to GNU/Linux, we are hit with the slop.

Il y a #Devuan qui est une #Debian mais sans #systemd et avec init.

A helpful resource if you’re ready to ditch systemd:

Do we have any Linux distributions that eschew both #systemd AND #Wayland? (Preferably #Debian based, but another base wouldn't be a deal-breaker.)

So if one was to start splitting up #systemd into smaller, more maintainable components and remove some of the dependency nest, where would one start?

Systemd (popular component to many {most?} Linux distributions) getting enshittified by AI.

Read @cwebber 's thread quoted below for more.

Also, thanks a lot (thanks a bot?) daandemeyer.

9️⃣ Here's the 9th post highlighting key new features of the upcoming v260 release of systemd. #systemd260 #systemd

If you deploy systems and services, then beyond the general lifecycle management that systemd always did you typically also want some form of metrics monitoring/observability. There are various approach to this, but the most popular ones all operate with local agents that pull metrics out of local services, and make them available for centralized collection (prometheus, …).

The dumbfucking of #systemd has begun. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/41085#issuecomment-4053443496

I hate the systemd bashing that happens because honestly it's dumb and disingenuous however Pottering caving to the slopification of a core part of our systems is saddening to see and there's no viable alternative to systemd not due to a lack of want but because none other actually stands up to what systemd gave us. We need a systemd compatible init that can drop in for most of it's features or offer something that is on par with it.
