What actually are the advantages of system rc over systemd?

They are loud. Try getting some sleep when there's an entire gangbang of locusts going EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEoooooEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEoooooooEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEuuuuuuu outside from all directions all night.

That's bullshit I just pissed my pants and it went everywhere. It wasnt even hard to do. I'm sitting in a pool of my own piss so you sound really dumb right now.

Wow I didn't realize they also allowed home cultivation. It's good to see lawmakers at least somewhere in the world just doing good stuff for once. Some faith in humanity restored.

Linux is too much bloat. BSD is also too much bloat. Switch to Temple OS. Actually, Temple OS is too much bloat. Uuh. Did you know that it's possible to use gcc to compile a c or c++ program in such a way that it's bootable? You can make your own shitty command line os in like 100kb that way and still have access to most of the easy QOL libraries and namespaces. That's still too much fucking bloat for me though. The way I do my "computing" is I just draw on my monitor with a dry erase marker instead of plugging it into a pc.

My system is too broken for this malware to work. I use Arch btw.

Some motherboards in 2024 still don't work if you put the ram in the wrong ram slots. I ran into that problem on an am5 board recently.

The police are going to be very busy. There are a lot of cows in Tennessee. They fart a lot.

In reality, only some Pentium 1 compatible motherboards can support enough ram for you to actually run Linux on a Pentium 1. Even if you don't run into ram problems, you'll run into bios related problems. I would suggest anyone trying this in 2024 to not even attempt it unless you can get a socket 7, and preferably a later socket 7 motherboard at that. The closest thing I can come up with to a reason not to drop support for 486 (the cpu before the Pentium 1) is that a 486 is a lot more possible to put on a custom pcb than a Pentium 1. Some of the more basic arm cpus aren't even as powerful as an upper tier 486 (but better arm cpus aren't that hard for hobbyists to get). Anyone die-hard enough to want to try to run Linux on a fully custom made computer like that would have better results using an arm or risc-V chip instead.

I am curious why they're dropping support for 486 but not Pentium 1, pentium 2 and anything not capable of SSE1 or later. mmx isn't even that good but I guess gcc does technically support it.

I wonder if they're going to drop 486 support in gcc as well. It can still compile for 386. You have to seriously strip down the kernel to run Linux on anything that old. Maybe 486 users (all 2 of them) should switch to Temple OS.

Still cheaper than prescription medication

Big tech wins yet again. Soon you'll need at least a Pentium 1 to run the Linux kernel.

Open source fpgas cost up to $10 per chip, $17 if you want the big chungus 256 pin one with lots of extra memory and logic blocks. You can get pcb printing services for like $7 per board but I think I paid less than that last time I built something.

I'm pretty sure custom made ASICs cost orders of magnitude more than that.
