I am entirely unsurprised that Poettering et al would become a sloperator, but it's destined to prove that LLMs are even worse at coding and reinventing software poorly than he is.

I left Linux 10 years ago because his notoriously bad code and good charisma with distro maintainers and one desktop environment in particular...

...made it literally impossible for me to install something as entirely unrelated as a (GNOME-based) window manager without replacing my system initialization daemon with systemd.

Need to find out what's happening as it happens? `tail -f /var/log/logname` is for luddites; systemd hates you so much it's `journalctl -f -u and_you_had_better_give_the_right_unit_name_baltimore`

I can't wait for an LLM to convince Poettering to bring back the rm -rf / bug again. It would be especially hilarious if the slop machine convinced his army of sloperators to put it in journalctl.
