what would be a possible alternative?

going directly to repos of e.g. tanstack?

he seems to be really hated here

what did he do?

he seemed as an decent candidate then…

I stopped following news about him when he had that Twitter episode with trump

things changed since then?

I don’t follow him that much since that Twitter circus with trump

I’m not an american, but from my perspective you only had two decent candidates in the last election on the Democrat side: Gavin and AOC. Not sure how Gavin stands now, but AOC seems great. Kamala was a disaster then, will be a disaster again.

If you didn’t, watch her (AOC) speak at Munich security conference. She is a great speaker: smart, eloquent and logical. I don’t see her as direct as Carney, she is more careful with words. But I wouldn’t want to be in her position if she wins: she will have sooo much crap to clean up after current disaster…

Carney is also an amazing speaker. I don’t know his internal politics and what it means for Canada, but foreign policy, communication and speeches give an impression of a decent leader. Very direct statements, no ambiguities or guessing. I was really surprised to hear a politician speak this way. European leaders are usually softer in their statements, leaving the doors open, especially when it comes to relations with the USA. Carney flat out said that the USA is unreliable.

there is a company behind, so they can be identified… but, the foundation is in Canada, so probably California law doesn’t apply to them. unless they start to sell their products in California. not a lawyer so I don’t know for sure how those things work…

Did not think of doing that.

I guess i never expected anyone to have a fcking JavaScript on a simple page as that

People are idiots.

Poettering got death threats for systemd.

Is it really breaking it? As far as I’m aware, it’s more like gnu. It has components and you can select what you use (here meaning distros and packagers).

People mistake this for a monolith because it’s all named systemd-thing. Integration, like you said, was and is needed. But what if all those separate utilities and services are actually disconnected and speak some protocol different to pipe? Does it make it less unixy?

And poettering is an absolute good guy here. Pulseaudio wasn’t perfect, but did it improve things compared to what was there before? Sure it did. Even now, pulesaudio protocol is used within pipewire and it works just fine.

Perfect is the enemy of good. And while all these tools might not be perfect, they are the best in the Linux world.
