Ah, back in the days before Lennart and RHEL killed linux.
Having only run debian for a job interview - where I had to learn systemd and I fucking crushed it, woo - I would never have picked out that makefile line. Kudos.
Having run automation in 2002 based on package triggers, makefile, cron and awk, I completely approve of using makefiles to orchestrate startup. That’s actually genius.
Anonymous data is useless. Most any data can be de-anonymized. And tracking data is always to “improve services” until the companies are offered significant sums for it…
The thing is that telemetry can be useful… bug reports let the developer know which bugs occur the most, feature logging lets the developer know which features are used the most (and thus what they might want to focus on adding new functionality to), etc. It’s become a dirty word since a lot of companies have telemetry that’s way too intrusive.
Yep! I understand, which is why I was clarifying for the previous commenter. As for if telemetry is morally justified, or if we should go back to old fashioned bug reports and some sort of upload system that requires direct user buy-in as the payment for privacy at the cost of reliability, mobility, and scalability is a discussion for someone else haha.
Looks like systemd to me
that is the exact opposite of systemd: sysvinit
you can recognize it by the iconic makefile line in the output, which indicates the setting CONCURRENCY=makefile has been chosen.

I’m still furious they intentionally broke CentOS. And then had the audacity to emulate SmallFloppy Glasspane and bake some spyware into Fedora.
This is the first I’ve heard about spyware in Fedora. Care to elaborate?

Probably telemetry software. Basically mandated for any publicly traded software company these days.

I love how I compliment someone and get downvotes. Ha ha ha ha.
It booted into a GUI afterwards, and had grub installed.
You would have seen Grub way before this screen.
It did and it went by so fast I couldn’t take a pic.
Maybe he did, and took a picture later.
You time travel like a wizard.
