FWIW Dolphin only does it if the filesystem doesn’t provide a way to add that metadata directly to the directory and you change the view configuration for that directory away from your standard configuration. Which is how the standard describes to do it. (Some file managers incorrectly add those .directory files to every directory you visit.)

A mac will add a .DS_Store file to any directory just by breathing on it.

Also remember that systemd isn’t generally doing this in series, waiting for each unit before starting the next. It’s firing off a bunch of units and then continuing what it does. If it were measuring the actual time that a unit takes without including the fact that it’s waiting for resources that other units are using, it’s highly unlikely that bare, which is basically empty, would take longer than massive snaps like Firefox and the GNOME content snaps.

Theoretically with a huge number of snaps and slow enough storage media this could have a noticeable effect, but in practice that case is highly unlikely.

Sounds like a medium t-shirt

This page, while obviously specifically advocating against the ADL, is well sourced in its criticisms: https://droptheadl.org/the-adl-is-not-an-ally/

Finally a chance for me to install Arch on something!

I would also be interested in a defence of capitalism that doesn’t come down to “but the USSR” or similar.

I have the following complaints about systemd:

1. It was created basically by lennart because after RHEL 6 did pretty much the worst implementation ever of upstart he got NIH syndrome about it
2. Red Hat played a lot of dirty politics early on to get systemd everywhere (my tinfoil hat theory is that Red Hat let Lennart’s NIH syndrome run away with it because they thought having more control over the init system would be beneficial)
3. It’s subsuming everything, often with no real benefit over what it replaces.

The first two aren’t actually issues with systemd, but rather are political issues I have around the way Red Hat bullies the rest of the Linux ecosystem. I’m not going to let that become a stopping point for my using what is actually a fairly good piece of tech. The third is actually an ongoing issue, but it’s not enough for me to try throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It is, however, IMO a continuation of Red Hat’s sketchy political play.

Just do a bind mount?
