With systemd now poised to replace sudo as well I can't help but be a little bitter about the way in which the concerns about systemd being an ever-scope-creeping behemoth of attack surface area controlled by one (admittedly rather unpleasant) person were swept to the margins and everyone pushed forward with it like nobody cared, and now our modern Linux distro choices just treat it like an inevitability and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it because it was "already decided" years ago

There's also some juicy irony in his replies to this thread, where he describes a Rust implementation of sudo as "unimpressive" because "memory safety was never the problem", which is funny if you know just how many fucking memory-safety issues systemd itself has had (and you probably don't, because he actively resists those types of issues getting CVEs assigned to them)

I dunno, I guess there's an even bigger irony in "guy who maintains a huge, giant block of C code used by damn near every Linux installation on the planet complains that some other project has security problems by design and that he can fix it by adding it as another little arm in his giant blob of C code"

@SilverEagle Linux is shit and I hope it dies in a fire. Always was, right from the start. And always will be.

@mischievoustomato @SilverEagle linux is retarded shit. macos is gay shit made for retarded fluffers.

i still wanna try a macbook sometime

@mischievoustomato @SilverEagle you will be disappointed.

most likely wont

@mischievoustomato @SilverEagle here's the only thing newer macbooks are really good for

@newt @SilverEagle I've seen that they're good at performance and a lot of shit as well

@mischievoustomato @SilverEagle nah.. newer amd and intel cpus are on par. The only thing they are good at is running macos.

@newt @SilverEagle well yeah i wanna run macos duh. also efficiency and ai stuff is plain better on apple silicon

@mischievoustomato @SilverEagle @newt
>ai stuff is plain better on apple silicon
?? Most of it requires CUDA which is an nVidia thing. I haven't seen an AI project that would leverage the new functions of x86_64 CPUs, or Apple Silicon for that matter. The market is to fragmented to support that. That's why everything uses CUDA, because nVidia is everywhere.

i have a friend that runs ai stuff on his 96GB macbook pro, and moon was looking to buy a 192GB macbook pro as well wasnt he

@mischievoustomato @SilverEagle @phnt macbook pro ends at 128gb. Same as mac studio. For 192gb, you need mac pro which is just ridiculously overpriced. You can buy a workstation with two nvidia quadros for that price.

ah, got it. ok, ok. I'd like to get a 16GB air.
