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.

Had to find out what this was from. Its a webcomic called Wormworld Saga, and it looks pretty great!

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.

I’ve had to change my mindset; if I care about it existing, then I have to be the one who makes it. I’ve already created [email protected] and I’ve become a mod for [email protected].

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

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