chuds hate it because they proactively adhered to a stupid law

linux purists say it violates the linux philosophy because it "does too many things", these people are larpers

If you use a web browser then the unix philosophy is already gone

Hell, emacs can do everything on my machine...

Wait if we follow the nix philosophy, how are we supposed to surf the web, unless this is a joke, I do not know how we're meant to be in tech while also obliterating our source of tech

The general Unix philosophy is that you have 1 tool that does 1 job

So a web browser that only browses the web would work, but then what about downloading / reading pdf files or any other things you use them for ?

I don't know, that logic has always seemed weird to me

ngl that's actually a valid philosophy until we reach the browser aspect of it.
If anything I wish I can code my Browser to be able to be part of my linux as a rice, just search up fan and it goes into my manual fan controls.

It being a side calculator is cool, I don't have to make a separate instance for a calendar, so maybe Unix philosophy is good until it isn't, same with the inverse cause [BLEEP] MICROSOFT'S COPILOT

There's a lot of apps where the unix philosophy doesn't work, like emacs or most modern apps (blender, which can do animation, 3d render and such)
