Considering how much systemd breaks the concept of “everything is a file”, this would not surprise me in the least

Yes, because everyone has need of this solution, and wants to have to copy and paste interface names every time they need to touch them, rather than having deterministic naming be an option to enable for those who actually need it…

Couldn’t they be configured to always set each interface to a particular name? I’d think that would be the better solution anyway…

And exactly where do you propose they talk about it and actually have people see it?

I’m pretty sure their ad revenue from their own pages is a tiny fraction of their overall advertising revenue… They basically own the advertising market online, almost anywhere you see ads googie is getting a cut

Microsoft at least isn’t trying to be a walked garden (at least, they didn’t used to)

It’s not much, but the bar to be “better than Apple” from that perspective ain’t exactly high

(Also, since they didn’t mention Microsoft at all or make some statement about how Apple was the worst, I don’t see how it even implies that… If you inferred that, I think that’s on you)

Does that make it better?

Because SystemD must do all and will not rest until GNU/Linux becomes SystemD/Linux
