Claim that it isn't fully functional (which it isn't, for the buyer's use case), and therefore not as described?

Question is, what happens if you don't have dmidecode installed? Even more interesting, what happens if you've replaced it with a fake that spews back values of your choosing? If they're bundling it, given that it appears to be GPL2, they're opening themselves to a lawsuit unless they provide source upon request.

(Somehow, I don't think they're actually using dmidecode.)

My point was that even if the water use of data centers is less than that of almonds, it does not justify the existence of the data centers because the water use of the almonds is also grossly inflated. You don't waste 999 million dollars just because someone else is wasting a billion.

The issue with the almonds is that there are a bunch of dumbasses growing them in an area that, left to itself, would be a desert. They shouldn't be doing that, either.

Meaning that their idea of ragebait is complaining about systemd.

Try a different search engine. At least part of the issue really is with Google, specifically.

If the opinions of shallow-minded wanna-be gender police matter that much to you, then there is nothing I can do to help.

Not if they let you send cash (although that is, alas, unlikely).

Part of being an adult is assessing what "everyone" knows and tells you to see whether it's actually true, and if so whether it's relevant to you and the life you want to make for yourself. Granted, this guy is only 23, so he's got a long way to go with that process.

Raking in a $250,000 salary

And isn't willing to move to a more ethical company if it means taking even a modest salary hit, I'll bet. Men seem more likely to make that particular prioritization error, although people of other genders certainly aren't immune.

Part of the problem here is that too many people live to work, instead of the other way around. Once they retire, they have no idea what to do with themselves and take the least-effort path to occupy their time. Which makes them perfect targets for the addictive aspects of social media.

Maybe what we need to do is flood Facebook and Instagram and all the rest with material about the rewards of volunteering for charity.

(Sometimes I'm almost thankful my mother is a technophobe.)

The first two were patched last year sometime. Not sure about the third, but it's the least dangerous (local data corruption only, like the flaky RAM I really ought to replace one of these days).
