Wait to their reaction when they find out that sports teams mascots are just corporate fursonas.

First rule of government funding: don’t ask where anything (like funding) comes from.

What, afraid one of the other techies would uwu back?

If they (budget-givers) won’t let you (plural, team) get budget to alternativise the software, that is an indication that the catgirl is not really an issue. Or, alternatively, that to them the catgirl is worth that much money.

How? Having bad people badding about your stuff is bad overall.

So they dismiss it because of looks, but hey, do tell, do they support technofascism tools because of how they perform?

mistrusting a firewall because of a changeable anime catgirl when there’s technofascist executing and leading technofascism on IT all abroad

Your teammates are stupid (not to mention they are probably projecting their own fetishes, denialists and negationists are like that) and they deserve to be derided. Changing the logo of a program these days is, like, two lines in a script.

That attitude, the “‘No AI whatsoever’ is unrealistic” one.

Sure, if you go with that attitude.

The root (haha) of needing better DNSes is because the ones that are are tied to technofascists and their ilk: techbros, nazis, psycopaths. So using something with blockchain sounds quite missing the point.

Maybe it should be! We need non-fascis-adjacent DNS roots.

Gonna have to set up some time during the weekend to help a friend migrate some infra off DO. To where? Who knows.

…It’s the “copy” icon right next to the “star” icon on the thread minibar?

systemd still does not solve it

Well I guess that tells you everything.

“Ask systemd what’s wrong with systemd” feels like “ask Grok what is bad about child sexual abuse” lol.

Just set the limit to something sane like 2³² seconds!

What “underlying issue”? The one in systemd?

Everything works correctly (starting, shutting down under openrc / under sysvinit / manually / with killall)… except specifically systemd.

Oh but it’s not just stopping things, starting things is subject to the same issue also:

A start job is running for "wait for network to be available"

(attached to a network interface that is not necessarily connected at bootup)

Systemd is just _special.

Oh no, I solved the problem: I uninstalled systemd. It’s systemd who is ignoring things, such as the longstanding history of Unix and Linux (research what happened between systemd and screen, tmux, dtach).
