"There has been some limited press coverage about recent #Salt #Typhoon — a Chinese cyber / hacking operation — but most Americans are oblivious about what has transpired. The story is simple. Following Edward #Snowden’s escape to Russia and the release of damning evidence that the US Government was spying on Americans, the US Department of Justice pressured the telecommunications giants — i.e., Verizon, ATT and T-Mobile — to create a #backdoor in their network software that allows Federal law enforcement to read texts and listen to calls on classified apps. If you are using #WhatsApp and think you are safe from the government’s spying eyes, think again."

Although Assad has fallen, the tragedies in Syria continue. The Syrian National Army, a Turkish proxy force, has captured the city of Manbij and aims to storm Kobane next.
Turkey intends to conquer all Rojava and carry out ethnic cleansing there.
In 2014, with the tacit support of the Turkish government, the Islamic State took over most of northern Syria, carrying out massacres as they gained ground. In the town of Kobane, locals managed to halt their advance only a few miles from the Turkish border.
Now, Kobane is at risk once again.
In Rojava, multiethnic militias including anarchist volunteers from around the world did most of the fighting and dying in the struggle against the Islamic State. Now the international community is preparing to look away while they are massacred.
We must not let this happen. As in 2019—the last time Turkey mounted a major offensive against Rojava—solidarity actions are urgently needed.

"In fact, world continued to spin and events in 404 only belay the catastrophe of the West, which increasingly will be pushed towards the natural MO--indirect strategies, #terrorism , #sabotage. It is too cowardly (and impotent) to fight real opponent. #Putin announced the arrival of the #new #age of #warfare, of which yours truly wrote for decades--it was coming and now it is here."

So often when we think we understand something, another thing comes along that forces us to pause, reconsider, and broaden our minds to encompass these new and fascinating pieces of information.Michelle Starr (ScienceAlert)
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as systemd, is in fact, systemd/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd system made useful by the systemd services, journald and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Poettering.
Many computer users run a modified version of systemd every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd init service, developed by Lennart Poettering.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete init syste

The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete init system. Linux is normally used in combination with systemd: the whole system is basically systemd with Linux added, or systemd/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/Linux!
This is great!
You mentioned the name of the developer of systemd and it sounded to me like there's a problem with that person in particular. Is that what you meant? I'm aware people have their feelings about systemd, but haven't heard anything about the developer, am I missing something or just overthinking it?
lol. I don't like systemd, but this is just a modified version of the GNU/Linux copypasta. It's just a light-hearted jab at the fact that systemd does so many things on Linux systems that it's almost as important as the kernel and GNU utils.
I don't actually know much about Poettering, so not much to say in that regard.

stallman-copypasta.github.iobut are they really? how about distros without systemd what would you call those OpenRC/Linux? systemd is indeed a giant intricate project,which is why some people don't like it or are against it,but all its components are working alongside the Linux kernel, without which there wouldn't be a need for systemd. I would say it's rather Linux with systemd,as systemd is optional.
