The reactions to systemd-homed have predictably been, "soon there's going to be a word processor in #systemd", without these people realizing that:
1.) systemd is NOT a single binary, it's a project, an ecosystem of utilities. That's like saying to GNU; Why is there wget? I want GNU to compile stuff with GCC, why is GNU nano a thing?
Of course the goal of the GNU Project is to produce everything needed to have a libre OS - the goal of systemd is to produce everything needed to manage this OS.
@MatejLach one of the new offenders are Electron and other cross-platform apps that create prominent non-hidden directories like Applications or their subdirectories in Documents to keep their service files. Another reminder that "cross-platform" means "out of place on all platforms".
@zalandocalrissian @MatejLach well, "doesn't care" crowd seems to correlate pretty heavily with "excited about cross-platform apps".
@isagalaev @MatejLach maybe you just get three times (or more) as many "doesn't care" people from the "cross-platform crowd" because their apps are ..uhm... cross-platform :)
@isagalaev @MatejLach that's not a "cross-platform" problem, that's a "developer doesn't care" problem. Adding an application-specific directory to "Documents" is wrong on all platforms that i know.
