[ale] Anyone know a way to turn off color in systemctl output for systemd?

[Jim Kinney]

I've not seen a solution for this yet. For me it's only some combo's
that are a pain, like yellow highlight with white text on a black
background. That (or similar) seems to appear with grep searches now
using gnome terminal when I open a file in vim after finding which file
to open with grep. I'm wondering if systemd is using the same color
palette as the gnome terminal.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
