Oh hey it's the same nonsense people have been saying for a decade now.

First of all, Linux is not Unix, and Unix principles were developed in like the fuckin 80s when what a computer is and does was different from what it is and does today. I'm betting you also use other software that doesn't follow the 'Unix' philosophy all the damn time, like, I dunno, the browser you used to post this nonsense. It was a guiding principle, not meant to be a dogmatic religious ideology. Also it not being the best choice for low memory embedded devices doesn't mean anything. It was designed for the desktop. These are very different platforms with very different needs. That's like complaining that the wheels on my car don't let it fly.

Also, bent the knee to who?

That old load of bullshit again. You could swap out the logs if you want a shittier, less searchable (but text based) logging system. The rest can be countered in a similarly conclusive way, and has been repeatedly in the last decade or so.

Inform yourself before copy-pasting misinformation and misleading propaganda.

Really? Okay, so curl. You use it everyday. How's that using 'unix' principles?

You're just parroting the same old tired arguments.
