From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fork time? Maybe all the anti-systemd zealots were right all along...

Edit: To address whether it is likely that this change will affect users: Gnome is planning a stronger dependence on userdb, the part of systemd where this change is being implemented. https://blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/2025/06/10/gnome-systemd-dependencies/

Final Edit: The PR has been merged into main.

Fucking hell. All he had to do was fucking nothing, the bastard.

Sabotage sounds spicy. It sounds dangerous.

And yet, the underlying concept is simply this: inefficiency.

I told you last time, make every inch have its cost.

Resistance does not have to be violent, and that’s not something I’m advocating here. Resistance is the word no. Resistance is standing in place. Resistance is pushing.

Resistance is the albatross around the neck of your opposition. Resistance is the anchor that drags along the sea floor.

Here are some incredibly mundane but effective examples from the manual:

Make mistakes with purchasing travel tickets

Make engineering mistakes

Make long speeches and waste time

Act ignorant, or ask a lot of questions: if you’re not familiar with the concept of sea-lioning, you should really learn it

Take longer to do your work

Even if you’re terrified of doing more, this is simply a place to start.

You are someone and you have a responsibility to do something.

You cannot make it easier for the fascists to achieve their goals. You can’t do it today, and you can’t do it later if they claim authority. You must stand in the way of oppression.

This is fucking horseshit. I'm turning against fucking systemd , and I had no fucking opinion before, now it's completely clear they're a bunch of 1940s IBM wannabees.

EDIT : What a surprise, the fucker that wrote the PR works for IBM and "A Medical Malpractice company" and the one that merged it works for Microsoft.
