  • Its similar to the CVS analogy given below, however I would liken it to Pulse Audio. We know we have needed to "fix" the audio subsystems for a while, and Pulse fixed a lot of problems but by the time it came along what were problems had moved on. Pulse ended up with other issues, and not actually doing everything we actually needed so it was eventually replaced with Pipewire.

    I'm not sure if Systemd falls enough into the same pattern, but I'm sure something better will emerge in the next few years.

    Now its 21 minimum but requires upper, lower and numeric. I guess at least I don't have to stick an exclamation on the end.

    Oh, you double clicked to make it bigger? How about making it postage stamp sized in the bottom left of a different monitor...

  • The developer is an anti-vaxxer, uses obvious misogynistic language and is full of dog whistles toward racist language.
