Comment Re:How much toothpaste do people ingest? (Score 1) 130

Right. Although we do consume some toothpaste via what's leftover in the mouth after brushing, I'd expect you'd have to have quite high concentrations in the toothpaste to be of any concern. We probably ingest more lead via air pollution and in our food than via this vector, though it would have to be properly studied to be sure, assuming it hasn't been already. This study in particular seems to have some flaws.

Comment Re:Microsoft's expenses are 136B/year (Score 1) 12

In the grand scheme of things it doesn't seem like a lot - but to the projects who got funded through this it has been huge. I'm involved in the Yocto Project and in exchange for some time in filing the paperwork and working with contractors (many of whom are active community members who also need to make a living) we got a bunch of features implemented that otherwise would not have been.

It was a solution in search of a problem.

That's emphatically not true, as evidenced by other Unix-based OSes writing replacements for their init systems. For a pretty balanced view of how all of this came about, check this out from a few years ago: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

Once in a while I look through the "journal" and 99% of it is worthless garbage. It's actually too verbose and anything important is lost in the noise. The problem is major projects that should be cross platform are dependent on systemd to work.

This doesn't really have much to do with systemd or the journal. The journal just captures the logs, it doesn't have any say over what programs write to it.

Ah you can use the "ip" command, You know the program that does the exact same thing as ifconfig but with a slightly different syntax, because fuck you we invented this and you didn't.

This also has nothing to do with systemd - ip comes from the iproute2 package. FWIW though I do agree, as a user of ifconfig it would have been nice if it could have been adapted/enhanced instead of completely replacing it.
