Your animosity is perplexing given that the article agrees with you; it even ends with:
Anyway, these are good moves, and I’m glad most prominent Linux distributions are not married to decisions made in the ’70s, especially not when they can be undone without users really noticing anything.
As someone who owns a System76 desktop, which I really love, I would have preferred that they spend more time on getting Pop!_OS 24.04 first, and then finish COSMIC.
When more of my day-to-day job involved reviewing long PRs, I also got grumpy over this kind of thing, so I am very sympathetic.
No you sudon’t.
WHAT HAVE I DONE!!! 😮
What is this, potential for a circle tool?
Just in time for version 3.1.4!
Make sure you check out Metal: Hellsinger if you haven’t already!
Thank goodness, I was sick of how woke my current X server software was!
\s
I find it even easier just not to do things in the first place.
What a hare-brained idea!
I cannot speak on behalf of the article author, but as someone who personally is an imbecile, the answer is: definitely!
It would seem that Nix has succumbed in this case to its Archenemy.

Except that it is likely to be included in future versions of Fedora:
According to the official Fedora change proposal, the rewrite expands support for both bootc and rpm-ostree based systems, whereas the original Bash version was built only for rpm-ostree. Red Hat developers have submitted a proposal to ship this new Rust version in Fedora 43. According to Phoronix, while the plan still needs a final vote from the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee, it looks very likely to be approved. For current Fedora IoT users, the change promises to be a simple, seamless upgrade.
And the cool thing is: not only were you able to install this 6 years ago, you were able to install it 16 years as well!
No wonder he refused to upstream it!
To me, one of the most interesting quotes from the article was:
“Our intel tells us that… one of the most important things we can do to hurt Palantir right now is disrupting their recruitment pipeline by hurting their brand image, to the point where even very apolitical recent college graduates [feel] that it’s social suicide.”
This really seems to me like exactly the kind of thing that a peaceful protest could accomplish that could really pay off!
It is not obvious to me, though, that the following tactic is super-effective at this:
After blocking the street outside Palantir’s unassuming redbrick office, and briefly making way for an ambulance, the crowd marched to a nondescript building nearby where organizers said the company was holding a developer conference to recruit new talent, slapping rhythmically on the windows and chanting “quit your jobs!”
This seemed to work in terms of shutting the event down:
Although Palantir did not confirm whether its event was disrupted, one visibly confused event worker did try to deliver equipment, only to find their intended recipients had vanished.
I suspect, though, that if the event were disrupted then the impression the people got at it was more along the lines of, “There are crazy people outside!” and less along the lines of, “I should really feel guilty about my life decisions.”
Having said that, it is not clear that a lower level of confrontation would have accomplished anything either, so who am I to say?
ENDELAYIFICATION IS STILL BAD!!!
Yeah, massive amounts of completely preventable suffering and death due to people no longer using vaccines thanks to the spreading of these conspiracy theories is totally not a big deal compared to someone having a bad attitude.
Then it still finds what it is looking for because
/usr/sbinand/usr/binare now the same place.
