      Animal Farm is a story by George Orwell about the animals of the farm being led by pigs in overthrowing the farmer. The joke seems to be that Orwell both saw and described a literal farm uprising, and that he wrote this book instead because the animals hadn’t risen up

          There was a very similar meme where the farmer just described the animals and the pig said a thing about systemd. This is a reverse of that… It’s a meta meme basically that only works if you know the other half.

    So SystemD is taking over all functions like the Pigs took over the farm. Some animals protested and were pushed down or killed when they spoke out. Why Orwell is doing the pushing down… The media?

    It’s just jan 4 and it seems the systemd jokes have already run out for this year. I for one haven’t seen all those “systemd bad” posts/comments/blogs/whatever. Instead there are tons, TONS of “gnome bad”, “kde bloated”, “wayland bad/xorg good” posts/comments/blogs/whatever, but god forbid if someone says something about systemd.
