No. We are definitely not the same.

(You) didn't even read the post. Not everything microsoft does is bad. They seem to have a point, if you can't see that, you're just stupid.
I'm not defending Microsoft nor Windows here, I have Richard Stallman and free software in my heart.
Unfortunately this. The first time I came here there was RMS on the sticky and it seemd to be a great place, but then there were only
Nothing about real tech. Did something happen, or I just was lucky enough to come here, when there were no so maly LARPers?

Lol what a Unix weenie.
You belive in Unix without any doubt, like it was your religion. The truth is Unix isn't perfect. There are cool things about it, like for example minimalistic programs working together, but things like /bin/, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, or that everything is a file are retarded - especially the first one. Nothing is perfect, if you can't stand constructive criticism, it means you don't even know why do you love Unix so much.
Not retarded people use criticism to improve themselves and their work.
Example:
gnu.org

No shit. If this was the argument then fair play, but that is not the OPs claim. OP was postulating facile arguments of "Unix BTFO" and directly implying "Unix = retardation", which is objectively nonsense.

He's right you know.
A lot of old unix was just hacks, this is why it's important to fix issues like this.
That being said, it just werks

What i don't understand about all this is why this aggressive and vitriol filled based posting? The paper seems fine but we come to a conclusion that yes, design of software was tied to the design of hardware and its limitations. And while the hardware changed, software opted out to be backwards compatible with many of its flaws/design decisions. So what do we do about it? Shitpost at each other? Are you or is anyone else gonna rewrite the GNU tools or the Linux kernel?
This is a tough problem and it requires discussion and probably wouldn't be solved without some major work put in by the very same tech giants that opted to continue the backwards compatibility/hack to make it work trend. You put the example of HURD there as a project that takes criticism seriously but is anyone using that kernel? Might be viable as a hobby project but not actually usable. I'm not saying HURD is bad or anything. My point is with such an offputing OP and posting style nothing is achieved. The fact is that lot of people here aren't really technically adept to talk about such stuff myself included. People who know their shit probably would be dissuaded from posting when seeing threads like this or those in the catalog. Just endless shitposting about minute stuff and badly formed OPs that seem more like opinionated rants rather than a call to discussion. You wanted a discussion right? Or just to call someone an UNIX weenie or whatever.
