Its built antithetically to the unix principles, it uses binlogs, its slow and its a big ol’ bloated mess on low-memory embedded devices, and seemingly is creeping into the whole system. Also the original author has since fucked off to microslop so I don’t care what he thinks or does. It, as a project, also bent the fucking knee.

That old load of bullshit again. You could swap out the logs if you want a shittier, less searchable living system. The rest can be countered in a similarly conclusive way, and has been repeatedly in the last decade or so. Inform yourself before copy-pasting misinformation and misleading propaganda.

Really? Okay, so curl. You use it everyday. How’s that using ‘unix’ principles?

Oh hey it’s the same nonsense people have been saying for a decade now. First of all, Linux is not Unix, and Unix principles were developed in like the fuckin 80s when what a computer is and does was different from what it is and does today. I’m betting you also use other software that doesn’t follow the ‘Unix’ philosophy all the damn time, like, I dunno, the browser you used to post this nonsense. It was a guiding principle, not meant to be a dogmatic religious ideology. Also it not being the best choice for low memory embedded devices doesn’t mean anything. It was designed for the desktop. These are very different platforms with very different needs. That’s like complaining that the wheels on my car don’t let it fly. Also, bent the knee to who?
