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).

Well, after using an iPhone, I tried an Android. I found it to be confusing and baroque.
You've been around a while, and you are not ignorant when it comes to computers, and yet people who are completely ignorant about computers (and generally incompetent at life) have no problem using Android. The obvious conclusion is that you are exaggerating the problems you had for rhetorical effect.
But to castigate people who choose iPhones as 'sheep' or other pejorative judgements is disgusting to me.
People who don't know better may be excused, but you have intentionally chosen to be locked in the garden. You disgust me in that way.

Most phones "just work."
That's not an Apple special trait.

Or, and just hear me out on this one. People like the product?
That's a hypothesis, but it doesn't explain the change. There is nothing particularly interesting in the current iPhone lineup (one phone is thin, one phone is powerful, one phone is cheap, etc). Of course, carrier subsidization scams aren't new either, so they don't explain the growth.
Somehow they managed to open a new market or market segment somewhere, but it's not clear how.

The concept is cool, but I'm afraid the gameplay would have as much interest as the prompt. That is, the game itself would only be fun for a few minutes.

3) Institutions like orphanages are far less of a thing (they basically no longer exist except for very temporary situations).
Orphanages exist today; you don't see them because they're called the foster system. And it's still a hard knock life.
