Why would government need to investigate how to persuade? Just fine them and/or shut them down, possibly go after the people running the company.

Any other (big) international business follows local regulations and gets fined when they don't. That it is a nightmare: deal with it. I find it surprising how acceptable it is that certain company can ignore so many regulations, while

If you want raw access to devices, X11, etc, then it is not so simple. The media players I use talk to Pulseaudio, not directly to audio. Various of your needs go pretty much against sandboxing. It's much easier to focus first on appli

Reading the article, this is not about systemd. Debian wants to offer a choice between systemd and something else. So they have things like systemd-shim, cgmanager, etc. He says he's using systemd, but while trying to figure out where

I didn't know I'm supposed to be paid by Red Hat or SuSE? :-P I've been helping out on volunteer basis at least for the last 10 years. Seriously: Red Hat is a very big company and they provide loads of resources to GNOME for

I only learned this recently: Red Hat is working with NVidia, only expected to work around Fedora 23 release. I've switched quite a while ago to the nouveau driver. Next machine will probably have an Intel. I'm waiting for somethi

You're reading too much into it. GTK+3.x has supported Wayland for various versions already. Fully supporting everything required changes (additions) to Wayland (the spec). There's still a few things missing in Wayland for GTK+ to

The Wayland session is already available. It just lacks features. That's why the next step is the login manager. Though from reading the latest discussion on fedora-devel, there might be a few complications to correctly automatically f

Weston has a VNC server built in. Then if you have a desktop environment which uses Weston you'll be able to use VNC. What has been added to the spec is being able to run one "compositor" in another. So you can have KDE/

This is more thought out than it might appear. In various Fedora releases you can already test GNOME under Wayland. Due to Wayland, certain functionality is not available. The one case which is not resolved yet is the "color picker&quo

I think you should visit a terminal. The cranes used to load and discharge containers are massive. Often much bigger than any existing vessel as the vessels keep getting bigger. See for instance cranes being shipped on a vessel: http:/

I also help out at Mageia, the systemd packager (Colin Guthrie) is fairly busy but does find the time to add patches to systemd package (e.g. backporting fixes). Before systemd was integrated, he also fixed a fairly important journald bug.

You're conflicting things. GNOME doesn't rely on systemd, it wants an API (a few actually, but AFAIK the only difficult one is the bits from logind). The entire API is hard to implement. The parts that GNOME uses maybe can be impl

The GR is specifically about keeping support for sysvinit around. So comparisons to that are entirely logical IMO. Note that I find the GR to be very vague. There's a post on Planet Debian to explain how to interpret it (jeez!).

Red Hat has audited the code in the past. The boot time bit is an item from the linked article. The thing is that systemd provides more than just an init system. Stuff that's pretty useful.

That's uselessd. Software however relies on the other bits, e.g. logind dbus interfaces. For that there is a systemd-shim, but was not there initially and used to lag behind systemd for a 6+ months. Apparently it was also quite buggy.

systemd provides things and does things that are useful. That is why GNOME depends on those. Blaming us? Try actually understanding why. It's not a hard dependency btw, you still have ConsoleKit support. A project not maintained for al

That bugreport is often misunderstood. You only gave one example, and that example is flawed. The bugreport was to change systemd behaviour to avoid a kernel bug. The bug should be fixed at kernel, that is why the notabug was there. Further

"Time and again proponents of systemd" I find it rather obvious you have something against anyone liking systemd. After above quote, you followup with "screw users". I like systemd, you react in the same silly way to me.
