@cas @ncopa @Foxboron @AdrianVovk FWIW regarding funding. There are 3000â‚Ŧ on this year's budget for systemd upstreaming that I expect we're able to execute. I also expect it to grow for the next years too, since that's little money, just to get started :)
@VulpineAmethyst @DoomHammerNG i am reasonably convinced that there is a path here to a happy ending to this story. gina has brought in leadership who i *can* trust.
For what it's worth, while we have committed to defederating Fosstodon at the end of the month should there be no meaningful change to the status quo, we are also still trying to find an alternative solution.
Sometimes it is useful to parameterize what comes before however, i.e. systemd-boot and systemd-stub. Since systemd v254 you could already configure the kernel command line via SMBIOS Type #11 vendor strings: that's what io.systemd.stub.kernel-cmdline-extra= and io.systemd.boot.kernel-cmdline-extra= are for. With v258 we are adding one more SMBIOS Type #11 vendor string: io.systemd.boot-entries.extra. It can carry one or more Boot Loader Spec Type #1 definitions of additional boot menu entries.

Such menu items are added to the boot menu, exactly as if they were placed in the ESP next to systemd-boot itself.

What's this good for? So that in VM environments the VMM can insert additional recovery or diagnostic boot menu items, that are then combined with those items already on the disk.

This is in particular useful when thinking about network booting: a boot menu entry defined that way could use the uki-url stanza to reference a UKI on some network server.

Idiots complaining about X11 are one step away from a greek statue pfp and posts akin to "This is what they stole from you"

@cas if you warm up an aquarium you get a (bad) fish soup. But if you cool down a fish soup you don't get an aquarium. You get cold fish soup.

"You cannot unpiss yourself" is so much concise.

GNOME: goes out of its way to pay for accessibility work that no company wants to pay for, regardless all the billions they make

The Register:

> As we have said before, we suspect this disconnect between younger, keener developers who don't know or care about late 20th century user interface standards or accessibility concerns, but who strongly want to junk what they perceive as legacy baggage, are behind the moves to deprecate and remove X11 – which is very much still going ahead.
