i now know of at least two programs which output broken files when run on musl, but work fine when run on glibc  not to mention all the spurious crashes, which don’t happen on glibc

@domi glibc? nein danke.

@domi saw a video today where someone recounted learning about the C runtime and “life before main”, and at some point they went “so i started reading musl libc code, because as opposed to glibc, it’s actually readable”. so fucking true. can we please abolish glibc

@filmroellchen

can we please abolish glibc

i mean. just switch to alpine/chimera? first step is always the hardest, but this IS something you can feasibly do today

@filmroellchen hey! that’s a goal still! i’m gonna cheer for you here

it’s slightly annoying at times but 5 years in you can feel the superiority despite having your system broken more often than not. i’d say it’s worth it purely to be able to say that you’re not using “GNU”/Linux

That's one reason why I sometimes package glibc expecting software as an exercise when I don't need to.
