Not this argument again. It's the most stupid argument (of a lot of |
| 9 |
other stupid ones) which was give most frequently by Poettering and |
| 10 |
those Poettering fanboys from the beginning of this systemd crap until - |
| 11 |
seemingly - now. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
And yes, it is still crap. Unfortunately I am forced to using it, |
| 14 |
because there is no usable distro for the Raspberry Pi which does not |
| 15 |
use systemd. I again went into trouble with it, if it's only those |
| 16 |
crappy binary log files. It's of course not only the binary log files. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
For some reason I couldn't boot the Pi anymore. What do you usually do |
| 19 |
in such a case? Right! You pull the sd card out of the Pi, mount it on |
| 20 |
another computer, and... bang! No log files can't be read, because they |
| 21 |
are binary and my Gentoo PC doesn't have systemd - for good reasons. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Without this systemd crap, with the good old, very well tested system |
| 24 |
loggers I would have easily been able to read the the log files and to |
| 25 |
fix the problem. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Thanks systemd I had to reinstall the whole distro. |

Regarding this really stupid decision of Mozilla's to only support |
| 30 |
PulseAudio... |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
PulseAudio still doesn't work with (semi-)professional audio cards. It |
| 33 |
never did, Poettering closed the corresponding bug report, blamed the |
| 34 |
ALSA developers and claimed that their ALSA has a bug. ALSA supported |
| 35 |
those audio cards perfectly out of the box long way before. The bug |
| 36 |
report was reopened and I never heard anything of it anymore. I was |
| 37 |
subscribed to this bug report. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Instead Poettering then eventually said that PulseAudio was designed |
| 40 |
only for consumer sound cards, not for professional audio cards. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
This was years ago and nothing has changed since then. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
It's audio cards like M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 and RME Hammerfall I'm |
| 45 |
talking about, btw. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
So ditching native ALSA support would mean that users with such an audio |
| 48 |
card wouldn't be able to hear any sound within Firefox. |

Thanks to Lennart Poettering and their fanboys. |

Just forgot to ask. Tell me how to easily get rid of systemd on - say - |
| 53 |
Arch Linux, Debian, OpenSUSE, Redhat, Fedora, Ubuntu and its |
| 54 |
derivatives. And how do I get rid of systemd on my Raspberry Pi? |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
You said no one is forcing me to use this systemd crap. So tell me how I |
| 57 |
get a full refund for systemd and how to switch to something usable. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
You said it's possible and easily done and I'm not forced to using it. |
| 60 |
So show me. A nice little howto for the distros I mentioned would be nice. |
