Well before you start piling on with any further chastisement...  the OP was apparently issued with a 1 week ban on 08/10/17.

If those were the terms, then this should have expired, but as yet they haven't returned.

It was removed exactly one week later.  But if the bad mouthing continues will be reinstated.

Ah the great authority of the internet.  Not impressed.  I had this knowledge deeply embedded in my brain by the time I was 10.  Back then peeps actually knew what they were talking about and teaching

How can you go over to Vuu-do if it's 'demised'?  Of course it isn't and we all know that but that phrase doesn't.  wink

Depends how you read it, there's a comma in there that separates the '& Vuu-Do' from the demised #1, & relates to the original statement about AntiX. smile
But, I suppose I could have put a semi colon instead. wink

That would still be a little murky.  Might have been better to say something like:

. . .  since the demise of #! (Crunchbang) & the arrival (or whatever) of Vuu-Do

Never, ever leave an ambiguity . . .

You can tell it's a slow day . . . LOL!

@macondo . . . even though this is the Off-topic forum, repeatedly spamming it with youtube videos is a bit much.  Just sayin'

Greetings cynwulf!  Was wondering if you'd ever popup here.

#3011 Re: Off-topic » Arguments against systemd » 2017-10-08 01:31:33

@JoshuaFlynn . . . see you next week.

#3012 Re: Off-topic » Arguments against systemd » 2017-10-08 00:26:33

That is pretty twisted.  It's obvious to anyone with connected brain cells that devel was a troll.  But your first post was the flame into which the moth flew.  Your continuing argumentative responses defending your poor judgment indicate that you are STILL clueless.  That's why you're getting the heat.  It seems that not all trolls are pro-systemd . . .

#3013 Re: Other Issues » When is Amprolla3 coming? » 2017-10-07 22:35:05

No apology needed.  The #devuan logs are an excellent resource.  It's always good to remind folks.

#3016 Re: Off-topic » Arguments against systemd » 2017-10-07 06:57:59

If you think that reinventing the wheel is a good use of your time, go for it.   We have more important things to do.  Devuan will fail or succeed on its own merits,  There is no need to 'win' over users who should be intelligent enough to find the many excellent analyses that are already available (and have been for years).

#3017 Re: Off-topic » Arguments against systemd » 2017-10-07 04:00:27

This thread serves no purpose except as troll bait (and it worked).  So can you please take a deep breath, leave the dramatic gestures and defensiveness aside and take it down a notch.  Thanks.

#3018 Re: Off-topic » Arguments against systemd » 2017-10-07 02:58:32

We do not have a "lack have of code of conduct".  We have an (almost) No Code of Conduct.  I personally don't see how anything good can come of rehashing this topic (which has been beaten to death for many years).  it is also a waste of bandwidth,  But let it continue for a while.  Hopefully it will grind to a halt with not even a whimper.

#3019 Re: Off-topic » Arguments against systemd » 2017-10-07 02:06:03

Good grief . . . 2641 words (including quotes).  You really have outdone yourself this time.  Perhaps this might a good time to lock it?

#3021 Re: Documentation » HOWTO: Post-Installation Configurations » 2017-10-06 20:46:01

Fair 'nuf.  A short stint with Ubuntu years ago cured me of the sudo disease.  But let's not sidetrack your howto with THAT discussion.

#3022 Re: Documentation » HOWTO: Post-Installation Configurations » 2017-10-06 19:43:46

Sudo? Really?  Ah now maybe I understand.  Perhaps you're used to Ubuntu's bad habits . . .

#3023 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] wine32 in Devuan 1.0 Jessie 64 bit ? » 2017-10-06 15:08:45

That's a handy howto, Myio.  Hopefully I'll remember it when I finally get on ascii.

And an OT note . . . on your wiki page you say:

There is also an "unofficial" Devuan forum which may be used.

We've been 'official' for many months now.  wink

If all the "wontfix" issues were included in this graph the numbers would be MUCH higher:

"WONTFIX" is not a thing on github, it is just something used colloquially to mean "a bug closed without any action being taken". All the "WONTFIX"es in systemd are just closed bugs and thus part of the graph you referenced.

It would be nice if we could get the facts straight so that it is harder to reject our claims as invalid.

Maybe I'm missing something - wouldn't be the first time -  but just because Lennart has decreed a bug as wontfix doesn't mean that the bug doesn't exist so it's in effect still an open bug.  Which means the number of existing bugs is probably much higher than the 'open' bugs indicates and the number of fixed 'closed' bugs much lower..

My favorite systemd analysis:
http://lkml.iu.edu//hypermail/linux/ker … 02496.html

And data from the systemd camp tells the story . . . If you scroll down this page you will see two graphs that say it all:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/

If all the "wontfix" issues were included in this graph the numbers would be MUCH higher:
