       Init scripts will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that #systemd v260 is out. The last remnants of the old unix philosophy have been swept away - unit files now have direct control over their serviceshttps://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v260

       @ariadne @cas Danielle from ElementaryOS called these whingemongers "MAGA/Linux" and well, it cannot be unseen now

       @ariadne there's no "if", the kernel does use LLMs extensively, right now: https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/26/greg_kroahhartman_ai_kernel/ precisely and exactly the same policy as systemd has. LIterally the same. And yet these lunatic takes never demand Linux distros drop Linux. I wonder why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

       @thesamesam @astraleureka @lanodan @ariadne yeah sure, if you exclude some tiny details like, er, SMP support https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2026-02/msg00133.htmlEnjoy your single-core UNTAINTED systems forever, I guess?

       @thesamesam @lanodan @ariadne Hurd using LLMs for reviews: perfectly oksystemd using LLMs for reviews: TAINTEDDId I get this right?

       @ariadne @thesamesam @lanodan of course and stuff like that gets shot into the sun with a rocket without mercy.But you don't argue with chatbots in reviews - these days claudebot is about 90% signal-to-noise ratio. The 10% noise you just dismiss, there's no arguing involved. But that 90% of signal has got really good in the past ~3 months, and there's no point denying it. This stuff was mostly crap until end of last year, but things change, and there's nothing wrong with changing views

       @lanodan @ariadne @thesamesam our security bug bounty in systemd was 99.99% garbage until end of last year. Since then these tools have got way better, and I'd say there's a ~10% valid security bugs, ~70% valid bugs but not security relevant, and ~20% garbage. I'll happily take the 10% of real, valid issue found for the price of having to shoot down ~20% of garbage. The key is to have no mercy - there's no arguing or bargaining involved, a crap report gets binned, end of, no discussions

       @lanodan @ariadne @thesamesam the 70% of valid-bugs-but-not-vulnerabilities is kinda 50-50 our fault and the bots fault. The bots fault because it's a dumb LLM in the end, it doesn't understand the big picture (well doesn't "understand", full stop). Our fault because a lot of the security models are pretty much implicit, and scarcely documented if at all, so the bot has nothing to keep it grounded to reality

       @ariadne @thesamesam @lanodan yeah that's obviously the end goal of all this wild and absurd speculation, but capitalism gotta capitalism. At some point the bubble will pop and then we'll see what's left standing
