RELEASE_NOTES [1] contains no mention of systemd (or at least does not contain that string).
README.TXT [2] also does not contain the string "systemd"
ANNOUNCE.15.0 [3] also does not contain the string "systemd"
If such a 'note' were included in the last release (15.0) it should have been in one of the above three files. So there is nothing in the release that appears to indicate a shift to systemd.
This will probably be extremely radical and controversial in this contemporary world.
We need to stop adopting this subscription model society mentality and retake _our_ internet. Internet culture was at one point about sharing and creating, simply for the sake of it. We tinker'd and created in our free time, because we liked it and wanted to share with the world. There was something novel to this.
We are hackers, we only care about learning and exploring. If you want to fix a broken system, look to the generations of old, they didn't create and share simply to make money, they did it because they loved the idea of a open and free information super highway, a place where we could share thoughts, ideas and information at the touch of a few keystrokes.
We _have_ to hold on to this ethos, or we will lose what ever little is left of this idea.
I see things like kagi and is instantly met with some new service, locked behind a paywall, promising lush green fields of bliss. This is part of the problem.
(not saying kagi is a bad service)
I see a normalized stigma around people who value privacy, and as a result is being locked out, behind the excuse of "mAliCiOuS" activity.
I see monstrous giants getting away with undermining net neutrality and well established protocols for their own benefit.
I implore you all, young and old, re(connect) to the hacker ethos, and fight for a free and open internet. Make your very existence a act of rebellion.
It's all just human arrogance in a centralized neural network. We are, despite all our glorious technology, just space monkeys who recently discovered fire.
I think this is a highly underrated comment. It seems today, people wont create for free any more, just for the joy of creating and distributing some thing you care about. It's always please donate x to y. Or subscribe to get access to premium content.
this seems like a reasonable comment on its face, but then it reads selfishly. why should a developer donate time when a house isn’t donated to that programmer?
