   Looks like Orwellian criminals still didn't figure out Unix philosophy of do one thing and do it well.

     @ryo I hope we will see the same resistance to this just like how we saw the same resistance to the 15-minute cities in Oxford.

     @ryo @ryo >unix philosophy
     With the ongoing popularity of GUIs, don't expect much adoption or resurgence of it since today's software devs and users find it old and "outdated."

     Both userland and developer reich are divided into 2 camps: the "keep things simple and minimal" camp, and the "let's stuff everything into 1 pile of mess that breaks so much that it creates a new industry of post-release bug fixing" camp.
     Governments and their corporations, soydevs, and normalcattle tend to be exclusively in the latter camp.

     And both camps are wrong. Have extensible programs and an extensible language (as opposed to unextensible languages with extension languages bolted onto them), and each function can can easily-replaceable module, and really, basically be a program. In a perfect world, programs would just be interactive functions.
