SunshineantiX gang 🇬🇷 says no to age verification
henfredemarsI don’t hate systemd, but age ID verification? Risks to my privacy grossly outweigh any benefit.
somehackerAbsolutely. That’s not what happened though. It’s a birthdate field with no verification. The point is to show how stupid the laws are.
nymnympseudonymDon’t hate systemd for age verification
Hate systemd for its monolithic, anti-Unix design pattern
Systemd isn’t monolithic, it’s a pluggable framework with a shit load of components
ok so tell me why I’m waiting for networking to come up before I’m allowed to interact with my computer
Also, its monolithic as heck, its a giant squid into my networking, time management, access control…
Ontop of that… binary logs ew.

Because your distro sets up stuff weirdly? At least I never noticed networkd to be a dependency of multi-user.target, could be wrong though.

That’s all optional though, many distros just use it because it’s easier than the alternatives.

Yeah, that’s indeed stupid. No clue why they did that.
Pervasive, yes. Deeply embedded in the district that is it, absolutely. And I get why people don’t like binary logs, although that isn’t exactly relevant to monolithic vs pluggable.
You seem to think that I’m arguing against your opinion that systemd is bad. I’m not. I’m arguing against the false statement that it is monolithic. It isn’t. It’s modular, like the linux kernel. If you wanted to remove every component except the init system, you could. Big pain in the ass to do that, but you could.
It replicates a lot of unix tooling poorly, binds the to the Systemd framework and only runs on Linux. So, still a monolith.
That’s … not what monolithic means, in software architecture
