The year: 2029.
I open up my IBM Redhat laptop, and boot up my SystemD/Linux operating system. I come to the SystemD-Bootloader boot screen and select SystemdOS (formerly Fedora linux). The SystemD init system runs, and I'm greeted with the SystemD login screen, I punch in my password and username, and I am greeted with the SystemD TTY, I can select from various SystemD coreutils. I run SystemD-Wayland and boot into my SystemDE. I open up the SystemD-Web browser running on the SystemD-webkit, and run tasks on the web. I remember its about time to update SystemdOS so I open up SystemD-Terminal and run SystemD-update, I run System-run0 to authenticate my identity, allowing SystemD-Update to run. 2000 packages to upgrade.
That's when my SystemD-RSS newsfeed gives me a SystemD-Notification. I shake with excitement, work is being done to finally replace the insecure, archaic Linux kernel with a brand new SystemD-Kernel slated for release in Q2 2030. I can barely contain myself, I think I cum a little. I experience a SystemDgasm like no other. I spin around like a school girl in my chair, I turn to face my SystemD-Poster on my wall of Lenerd Pottering, it's cum stained from my many intimate sessions with it, i stroke the poster lovingly, I stand up and kiss Pottering on his SystemD-Lips, SystemdOS will finally be free of outside influence, this is the greatest day of my SystemD-Life.

@adachi
Open source lolcows don't see the problem with this.
I'm glad I learned runit and OpenRC this year.

@sally
Gentoo by default is OpenRC so that's what I use.

@adachi
I installed Gentoo recently for the first time on bare metal, it's steadily becoming my favorite GNU distribution.
I should learn to install it on encrypted partitions.

FSF's reason for not including it autistic since its free by default and you have to actively accept a non-free license to install linux-firmware or non-free games
I've used it since summer 2021 and i love it.

besides the discriminatory language, it's factually wrong: several FSF-approved distros include it, because it is indeed Free Software, despite having been forced by very questionable means into multiple distros
you missed a great chance to write SystemDOS in the og ;-)

@lxo @adachi He was referring to Gentoo; https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html#Gentoo
I don't understand how systemd is so bad, since it is free software written in C.

I see, thanks, I couldn't pick that up from the context
SystemD appears to be part of what I've come to conceive of as a complexity attack on the free software world. programs that are so complex and/or massive that, although the freedoms are technically available to users, they're effectively out of reach. I haven't developed those thoughts enough to write extensively about it, but it seems to be a real issue that we need to watch out for
but systemd is hardly the worst at this attack. what I really dislike about it was the way it was forced down people's throats, the adoption of nontextual files that require systemd tools to read when you most don't need such barriers because the system is down and systemd is not working

@lxo @Suiseiseki Making hard dependencies should be enough reason to ditch systemd. See how postmarketos had to implement systemd to make Gnome and KDE works because otherwise it's more difficult.
