I’m the person in the bottom right of this comic.

Sorry if it wasn’t obvious, I’m using sysvinit.

My favorite is Debian, with systemd uninstalled. At this point, you can’t install Debian without systemd, but you can uninstall systemd after OS installation.

It used to be that most desktop environments in Debian depended on libpam-systemd, which depended on systemd and systemd-sysv. More recently, desktop environments just depend on libpam-elogind and elogind which is only part of systemd, and allows you to use sysvinit.

I prefer sysvinit mainly because I find it easier to create custom services out of my own programs. My success rate at doing this in systemd is 1/3, and in sysvinit about 10/10.

I also had a problem where a Debian-based embedded system had some kind of broken NTP client running on startup, and due to systemd, I couldn’t figure out how to disable it. It would set the time to several years into the future, as soon as it first got a network connection on each startup.

Sadistic people like seeing others harmed. They will bear costs to themselves for the sake of seeing others suffer.

The only other people were other press. There were camera and microphone operators. Looking at the video, it’s so obvious that the cop aimed at the press and then shot.

Is there any way to tell what kind of cop that was?
