A quick anti-FUD FAQ to debunk "the KDE is forcing systemd!" hoax—a thread 🧵
Q: Does the Plasma Login Manager require systemd to work?
A: Yes.
Q: So you ARE forcing Plasma users to use systemd!!?!?!
A: No. The Plasma Login Manager is one of probably half a dozen Login Managers (or more) that can boot Plasma. We made PLM because it will give distro creators a cool piece of kit that can (not "must", not "should": *can*) be tacked onto a system to boot into Plasma.

Q: So I don't have to use PLM?
A: No! You can completely ignore PLM! Please be our guest and use any of the other non-systemd dependent LMs that will work and continue to work just fine, now and in the future.
Q: Is KDE planning on making *any* of Plasma's core components dependent on systemd?
A: No.
Q: So Plasma does not and will not require systemd to work now or in the future?
A: That is correct.

Q: And it will continue to work on non-Linux systems like FreeBSD?
A: Also correct.
Q: Why have I been hearing that KDE will force systemd down everybody's throats via Plasma then?
A: There are sad people who will do anything for attention and clicks, will spread FUD and fake controversies to obtain them, including decontextualising comments on merge requests, stating as facts and official communications what are personal opinions, and finally straight up lying.
Don't believe the FUD.

@dingo ciao, ti ho invitato nelle stanze matrix italiane, fra poco dovresti vederle popolate di messaggi, mentre tutti i messaggi precedenti non dovrebbero essere visibili per motivi di privacy.

"Noi non interferiamo nelle scelte degli elettori". Ma certo. La scelta USA per partiti europei MAGA-friendly è ovvia e scontata. Bisognerà spiegarlo a Meloni che finge di non capirlo. Poi, tra qualche settimana sapremo se Trump ha dato il bacio della morte a Orbán.
Marco Rubio says Viktor Orbán’s leadership is ‘essential’ to US interests https://www.ft.com/content/929c5c6f-b98a-42ce-84d0-844f2e10df29

@vdonvito La spesa complessiva raggiunge così i 3 miliardi 715 milioni di euro, che sono per quattro quinti fermi alle gare di appalto, ai progetti non completati o ai cantieri aperti.3 ore fa
Quanto sono costate realmente le Olimpiadi di Milano-Cortina...almeno ci restituissero l'oro delle medaglie a noi contribuenti tartassati!

there's few instances of software that I've been using for years and I have zero complaints about.
One of those is #handbrake, video encoder for mac.
They keep updating things and I'm not sure why, but I just works™ for my needs and has been like that for, dunno, a decade?
10/10.
