systemd lost the plot a long time ago. they stopped following the Unix philosophy and now they're busy adding nonsense like age verification. Just like Firefox, systemd doesn't understand its core user base. There are plenty of distros without systemd

@nixCraft Please, just stop using the term "Unix philosophy" as a fetish. There's a ton of great software that does not follow it, and I've seen enough failing init scripts in my life to convince me that endlessly stringing tools together with pipes is not a robust way of writing software.

@hokid @nixCraft
It would be quite fine if the software you strung together would follow the principle.

@oz1tmm @nixCraft In my experience, all that is ever written this way is yet another static site generator nobody else can use to blog about the Unix philosophy.

@hokid it's not like systemd is one big blob.
That's how people argue.
