A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

When I hit the power button, it turns off. It still does its shutdown and all, but it's not an extended negotiation where I find a bunch of programs that are refusing to "let me" do what I want the computer to do, and have to try to make each of them happy. It just turns off.

I'm a big fan of init 0. My friends say I'm living on the edge but if an application can't handle it, I don't want it.
