A thing being repeated across businesses worldwide, including at Microsoft, is C level execs struggling to know why most staff aren’t using Copilot for M365, despite how much it costs.
Because most staff don’t spend all day in Teams meetings reading out PowerPoint slides to people who pretend to care. They have actual jobs. Doing work. Which they know how to do. Because it is their job.
What systemd did was obeyed in advance, that's the problem.
Linux power-users tend to have strong opinions about two things: distribution and systemd. The bazaar of distributions means competing implementations or different perspectives end up expressed through the curation of the packaged software. systemd ended up so contentious because it’s a decent piece of technology which suffers from persistent scope creep that became a foundational component in a lot of distributions. The drama du jour is that systemd is somehow implicated in “age verification laws.”

California in 2026: we're passing a law that allows the AG to sue OS providers in civil court if they don't implement age verification in order to restrict Apple, Google, Facebook and the worst companies in the world.
