    When people complain about systemd "violating the unix philosophy", this is what they actually mean (lemmy.world)

    Runit, making systems easily pwnable since 2004 ๐ŸŽ‰

    • Step 1: Make a system service run as root
    • Step 2: Give service a runlevel that starts it at boot
    • Step 3: Make the file modifiable by a normal user
    • Step 4: ???
    • Step 5: pwned

    Gonna be honest, never heard of running before this. Briefly considered switching before OPs presentation in the comments turned me off. I don't want to associate with his/ her mind of weirdo, they aren't fun.

    systemd is for the weak. red hat and lennart are just shit.

    I don't support calling people who volunteer their time to develop free software "just shit", but I can't help but agree at least a little bit about redhat. Redhat is kind of like Richard Nixon: if you just assume that eveything you dislike is their fault, you would be right surprisingly often.

    • "Predictable" interface naming
    • avahi
    • dbus

    That being said, they did also contribute to a lot of kickass software, from btrfs to Firefox to linux namespaces to qemu to pipewire, as well as to software that you can't really live without like glibc or gdb. So I guess the converse also holds: if you just assume that everything you like is there thanks to redhat, you would be correct pretty often as well. Can't really say that about Nixon though.

    hitler built the autobahn. enough to not call him shit? doubt that.

    what lennart and red hat have done is just terrible.
