my second favorite part was

> "Is Debian now suckless.org?"

I can't resist the idea that this calls for the Astronauts by Earthshine "always has been" image macro

(to be fair Debian is a big project with a deep history, including a lot of people who do a lot better than that)

that said, minimalism's least problematic defenders even now tend to hail from the school of

"lol. complexity got you down? no worries! just gather enough privilege to roll your own bespoke bare-metal environment"
