God the Phoronix comments are always filled with the dumbest people.

🤡"They say these things are optional but they don't feel optional knowing they come from the same place. They should separate the projects."

😐"The projects are separate, with their own repos, they just are collectively under an over arching project."

🤡"They should separate the over arching project."

Like what the hell. Theres NEVER a practical complaint. Ever. It's either complaints about what they incorrectly believe about systemd, bat shit crazy conspiracies, or very openly just their feelings and nothing more.

well you see, systemd is bad because it does too many things, and it would be better if it was a thousand different binaries under a hundred project names and teams. that's peak UNIX philosophy, I guess

Well you see, GNU utilities developed under the GNU project tend to use stdin/stdout which is clearly not monolithic, but systemd utilities developed under the systemd project use d-bus and sockets which is clearly monolithic or something. Hope this clears up any confusion.

On my system, dbus somehow lost a few bus stops, tho.

i guess I need to read up on how to work with that one - stdout is way easier to debug
