Is that pointy hair speak for kernel code contributers?

I didn't say it was better or worse, I said that if you don't like systemd, it's not about you and that's why you don't like it.
As for the Debian team, looking at their prior init scripts shows they wouldn't recognize good code if they saw it.

Or will they relocate to the Thailand, Cambodia and Laos and kidnap and scam those people instead.
The scammers have been arrested in Cambodia Thailand and Laos.
It's not clear what spurred the arrests, but it's a good thing.

He did not, in fact, want a meaningful response.

That's why it's wrong. The GPL is about the user. Debian is in very large part about the GPL. Debian should be about the user.
You misunderstood: what I mean is that systemd was never about you. It was about making something that Debian maintainers would want to put into their system, and Poettering put a lot of effort into communicating with them and understanding what they wanted, something he doesn't do for other classes of users.

Here's an example of a traditional init script. I don't know why Debian wrote such long init scripts but they did. And systemd made the Debian maintainer's job easier. That's why the Debian maintainers switched to systemd.
It wasn't about you, it never was.

The title in the article is misleading. The Bitcoin transactions had nothing to do with Trump. JPMorgan notified the Trump administration of the Epstein related bitcoin transaction.

Returning doesn't mean they weren't tricked. Having choice doesn't mean they weren't tricked (that one in particular is your stupidity; if given the choice to drink cyanide or hemlock, it is still a choice).

Attached to: Nvidia CEO Denies OpenAI's $100B Investment from Nvidia is 'Stalled'
They're out of money. Oracle is selling stuff to cover commitments that can't physically be built for businesses that are losing billions of dollars, all on spec. NVidia is certainly wealthy, but even their pockets aren't deep enough prop up all the tents. The VC money doesn't exist anymore: their capitalization is one full order of magnitude smaller than the latest plays, where ultra wealthy Big Tech companies are capitalizing their own customers with hundreds of billions of dollars.
They're out of power. All the low hanging power sources are tapped. Where spare power exists, it's surrounded by a hostile population (see Stargate Michigan, failing simultaneously on two fronts: pushback from citizens and finance.) They flailing around, talking about building nuclear reactors in Elon Time, which is never going to happen.
They're out of hardware. Stargate Abilene is never going to make its build-out schedule: it was supposed to be running in 2026, but it won't be complete till 2027 or later unless some alien spacecraft unloads thousands of pallets of GB200 racks at some point in the next few months. It is physically impossible to build and deploy that much hardware on this planet at this time. Meanwhile, costs of every type of silicon they need is skyrocketing, blowing out costs.
They're running out of smoke. The banks that are funding all this leverage are getting nervous, asking questions, and pushing back. Despite suspending their brains for the last few years, they can actually do math, and the math says that there isn't really as much money in all this as they've allowed themselves to be led to believe. OpenAI is enshittfying their product with ads trying to come up with a revenue source, because their product is already a commodity: it works, but it's also not difficult to make (there are multiple competitors at parity now,) and eventually it will be cheap. So these huge investments and build-outs aren't ever going to pay off.
