Yeah it can be a bit annoying at times. I started out using Debian-based distros before systemd implementation, so Devuan with sysvinit just works for me. I’m not the sort of user who needs the latest updates on anything, so it’s mostly fine. I considered checking out Slackware since it also uses sysvinit, but it’s in a similar boat with updates and, frankly, I don’t want to deal with its package manager lol.

I doubt Devuan will stop basing their distro on Debian. Or at least I hope they don’t. I specifically use Devuan because it’s basically just OG Debian.

About to sell mine if you’re interested.

Believe it or not, people talk to one another in their communities.

Always good to give more access to software. I have no use for it, but I very well could in the future.

I’d wager the vast majority of people in the military are glorified pencil pushers. Not really much of a moral difference between them and the person stocking store shelves with the products of exploitative, unsustainable corporations. Just as there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, there’s also no ethical form of alienated labor under capitalism.

True. We all have to make our way in the world. Rarely is it the way we’d like.

For most people it’s still about material benefits. The guy in office doesn’t really change that.

Those escapes are often drugs. Also, the military is one of the most difficult.

Word of advice: Don’t consume YouTube at all if you don’t want to support bad people.
