I mean, if you want an init (e.g. embedded linux), sysd may not be way you want. On desktops, tho, you ultimately end up hacking together more or less the same functionality with sticks'n'shit. And yes, sysd timers are more readable than crontab, sue me.
Edit: the point is, sysd is not (only) an init.
I thought of a Russian phrase "Россия для грустных" (Russia's for the sad ones), which refers to that sangry expression you can often see Russians wearing.
I'm neither proud nor ashamed of being a Russian, personally, given it's a simple fact. Although, I also have a hard time understanding feeling pride (or shame) for something I wasn't a part of (as in, a member of a team of researchers who discovered XYZ, not some arbitrary stuff like nationalities)
Iirc, traffic lights are called robots in some African English dialects. Although it's more like one of those regional peculiarities.
To me it looks more like they're saying they'll monetize their work no matter what, tho. One way is through direct payments by those who consider their articles worth paying for, then they don't need to sell userdata or show ads; the other way is selling userdata. Well, there's also non-targeted advertising, but mb it doesn't worth as much or something (and targeted ads already pay close to nothing from a single viewer, afaik).
Where I personally draw the line is when such subscriptions still include ads (looking at you, "ad-free" disney+) or have unnecessarily large costs and so on. I mean, if they charge close to what they're making with ads and selling data, we could get most websites ~tracker-free for probably a couple of bucks a month each. This, in turn, lessens the power of ad network owners, which again makes the web better. Although, mb I'm idealizing too much, idk.
Not necessarily, they may just take payment in BJs
More likely it's just accumulated some grime after all that time in your pocket
I've asked a couple of history nerds, and I stand corrected: my impression that totalitarianism was a form of autocracy was wrong (rather both are a form of dictatorship). They've mentioned that under Stalin it could've been considered one, tho, but given he was the 2nd gensec, it's not exactly relevant to undissolving.
Sure it wasn't. And, say, attempts to limit citizens' freedoms of [speeh, movement, religion (although I personally think it's cancer)] or even music they listen to are just a coincidence. Look, I'm not saying USSR was all bad, but, frankly speaking, trying to depict it as some kind of heaven on earth is just as flawed as the red scare you've mentioned.
A bit late, I suppose...
