Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Großer Fehler. Warum dachte ich, dass das eine gute Idee ist? Jetzt gehts mir wieder scheiße und ich habe nix dabei gewonnen. Werde den gleichen Fehler (hoffentlich) nicht nochmal machen und mich davon schön fern halten.

Das funktioniert so nicht. Als es mir vor 5 Jahren schlecht ging hab ich natürlich die 2000 Jahre vorher zu verantworten. Hab viel geändert mir geht's besser, aber die Welt ist immernoch scheiße und das zieht mich wieder runter. Glaube solange man mit geschultem Blick Probleme auf der Welt sucht, wird man sie auch finden. Außer diese dann komplett auszublenden ist mir noch kein sinnvollerer Kompromiss eingefallen. Groß ändern wird sich dadurch aber auch nichts

All Linux based systems use an Init system, short for initialization: it's the first process that starts after you boot your OS, and it runs in the background while you're using your computer, to manage system services, and various processes. For many, many Linux distros, SystemD is this init system.
SYstem D is a relatively recent project, at the scale of Linux anyway, it started in 2010, and was spearheaded by Red Hat. Its goal was to replace the existing solutions, like SysV or Upstart, to make things faster and more resilient.
It quickly became the default on Fedora, obviously, then on Arch Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, and many, many others.
The famous Bloat argument is one advanced most often. System D, as time went on, encompassed more and more features that were generally handled by individual services, not the init system itself, like device management, login, or network management and creating logs.
This can be perceived as going against the Unix philosophy, where a piece of software is supposed to do just one thing, and to communicate well with other small systems.
What's certain is that most distros that implement it are general purpose distros, that need to provide as many systems as possible, and so they tend to use most of systemD's features and modules.
SystemD also "hides away" certain configurations with its own tools, like systemctl, instead of exposing everything as a config file. Whether these things are important or not, though, depend on the person.
Another criticism levelled at System D is the fact that it has become so pervasive that a lot of other components are created with a hard dependency on it: without SystemD, they can't work at all, or will have a limited featureset. This results in some extra work for distros that don't want to use systemD, as they have to use an alternative implementation of these features.
Another regular criticism of SystemD comes from the fact it's mainly a Red Hat project, or at least was started by Red Hat. The fact remains that while systemD was started at Red Hat, it IS an open source project, and it is receiving contributions from a lot of people that aren't at Red hat.
Another criticism of SystemD is that it's making Linux based systems uniform and that it restricts choice. I'd argue this isn't really true, since there ARE other alternatives, like OpenRC, Dinit, SysVInit and more.
One final problem people identify with SystemD is system security. First, there's the fact that having one single system that powers the init and service management of most distros is a security risk: an attacker can target many, many systems by targeting systemD.
Second, some people would say that since SystemD is huge and does a lot of things, it has a very large attack surface.
But why would you WANT to use it, exactly?
SystemD is a unified project, which means you don't have to learn 20 different programs if you need to interact with something: you learn how systemD works, and you can manage everything.
Compared to other init systems, it's also simpler, as it opens various sockets that services can plug into, and services can start in mostly any order. And finally, systemD is written in C, and isn't the usual compilation of bash scripts, so it tends to be faster and more efficient than many other init systems.

the fact that israel controls our government has never been more blatantly obvious. as i've said many times, bribery and blackmail are the two primary drivers of US policy
how many presidents have had good rhetoric during campaigns, sounds like they're anti-war, and then boom they flip into israel's little obedient lapdogs. basically every one since they blew JFK's head off
i genuinely wonder what dirt they have on trump cause he was extremely anti-war during the campaign and i think this is likely more driven by blackmail or extortion than bribery of trump, since he didn't really need their money. i don't think he can be bought.
Fun Fact: Obwohl „Emoticon“ und „Emoji“ ähnlich klingen und sich beide auf grafische Ausdrucksformen von Emotionen beziehen, sind sie etymologisch nicht miteinander verwandt.
„Emoticon“ ist ein Kofferwort aus dem Englischen, zusammengesetzt aus emotion (Gefühl) und icon (Symbol). „Emoji“ hingegen stammt aus dem Japanischen und bedeutet wörtlich soviel wie „Bildschriftzeichen“. Er setzt sich aus den Schriftzeichen 絵 für „e“ (Bild), 文 für „mon“ (Ausdruck) und 字 für „ji“ (Buchstabe) zusammen.
this is nearly unbelievable he would be so openly brazen. I don’t disagree with him but he’s either an idiot being so careless or it’s intentional. I’d say that is a rare case. It’s weird.
@HaleakalacraterIf you have an established and vetted definition of Death Cult, based on years of research, in the military intelligence "manuals" and you apply that criteria to Israel and it fits, it's your duty to declare it.

Israel has 80-100+ nuclear weapons. Israel has never had to have UN weapons inspectors checking on their nuclear capabilities in fear of sanctions. Israel has killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians. Israel has attacked Iran preemptively for literally NO valid reason. #Iran_IsraelWar
@Mungencakes missed a golden opportunity to throw a padlock on the back of that truck. they usually roll up on such trucks. we should start showing up to events with padlocks.
Happy Birthday to Adam Smith (06-16-1723 to 07-17-1790). Mr. Smith was one of the most influential economists who ever lived. He wrote 2 significant and important books, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776) and The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759). He created and/or formalized the ideas of Division of Labor, Specialization, and Absolute Advantage. #Scot #Economics #GreatOnes
Sadly there is no UI in friendica itself to set a banner. You can use clients like Aria, Pachli, Fedilab or others to set a banner image. Hopefully this can one day be added to friendica UI.
Re bluesky: can't help with that. Not using that service.
@wilhelm @Friendica Support Thanks for your input. It seemed to be an option in setup process I can't find now. It only shows up in other places, like Mastodon, for example, that have that format. I have option to edit it in 3rd party apps, like Raccoon, but whenever I upload an image and hit save button, nothing occurs. It definitely exists and needs updating. Here's a screenshot of Friendica's impossible to remove pretty lame logo in place.
Have not tested Raccoon to set a banner image. If that is not working as intended why not file an issue over at github.com/LiveFastEatTrashRaccoon/RaccoonForFriendica/issues The dev is very friendly. Make sure to include as much detail as possible like Android version, Raccoon version, Friendica version + instance, repro steps etc.
Meh, I tried it multiple times, not very excited about that app anyways. Fedilab did it fine. Friendica needs a native app. It's the most feature-rich interface, just using that through phone browser is better than anyone else's take on it. That being said, I'm good with Fedilab, Moshidon, and Elk.Zone on desktop browser. I think the Bluesky intertanglement is its own buggy problem (it barely populates the feed and only rarely). So, I'm not seeing Friendica as having further problems for me, essentially. Thank you again for your input.
@Jools [Friendica] Great to know. I forgot to mention I was able to log in through Mastodon, didn't poke around in there yet. Fedilab did the trick so I'm good for now. Thank you.

Israel’s recent missile strikes on Iran have killed over 200 Iranians in one week. Iran has rightfully defended itself, as any sovereign nation would, and has struck back with precision, raining missiles through Israel’s ‘Iron Colander’.
Despite what Rubio and others in the Trump administration say to distance themselves from the attack, they are complicit. The U.S. has never attempted to ‘de-escalate’ things. They have done the opposite. The U.S. Navy is shooting down the missiles Iran launches in self-defense. Israel’s attacks on Iran are deliberately provoking a wider war in the Middle East, and if U.S. military bases in the region are targeted, they only have themselves to blame.
This recent aggression is part of a decades-long campaign of assassinations, sanctions, and military provocations, aimed at weakening and destabilizing Iran and the arc of resistance.
While the U.S. arms Israel’s genocide, Iran arms the resistance. Iran has been a critical ally of Palestinian liberation, training and equipping resistance forces in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen to defend the Palestinian people against Zionist occupation. This is why the U.S. and Israel want Iran destroyed: not because of ‘terrorism’ or a nuclear threat, but because Iran refuses to kneel to imperialism in the region.
Dying empires like the U.S. are dangerous. They’re desperate to maintain control and in lashing out, they are escalating a war that could engulf the entire region. Everyone who prefers peace to war should stand with Iran, and all forces of resistance against imperialism and Zionism.
Stand with Iran!
Stand with the Palestinian Resistance!
End U.S. aid to Israel‒No to war in the Middle East!

And it turns out that just a very minor license to profanity is a great way to get people to engage with what I flatter myself is a pretty nuanced technical political message about how we got here and what we should do about it.

Update on being ticketed: Cops and the city government and the DNR have said I am allowed to have a native prairie yard as long as it doesn’t go over 8 inches.

"Marx’s Kapital is not a treatise on socialism; it is a gerrymand against the bourgeoisie. It was supposed to be written for the working class, but the working man respects the bourgeoisie and wants to be a bourgeoisie. Marx never got a hold of him for a moment. It was the revolting sons of the bourgeoisie itself, like myself, that painted the flag red. The middle and upper classes are the revolutionary element in society. The proletariat is the conservative element."
