This is an unbelievable self-own.

“Of course it’s not a bug to delete your home directory when deleting tmp files. Idiot. Moron.”

“Look someone did weird stuff with our tool, and there’s absolutely nothing we are willing to do to make that not result in catastrophic data loss.

What’s that? Oh, yeah, no, it would be trivial to stop this horrific mistake.

We just won’t.”

Mastodonmhoye (@mhoye@mastodon.social)Attached: 1 image https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/112637213238431183 A friend of mine joked when this came to light the other day that we should start the timer to see how long it would be before some SystemD person crawled out of the woodwork to say that was expected behavior and you're an idiot for using it wrong. And we laughed to ourselves, wouldn't that would be funny, that really is the reputation they have now isn't it. Well, jokes on us, because that's the first fucking comment on the bug. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/33349

@lkanies You may enjoy my summary:

The author of the "U R DOIN IT WRONG" response is the same shining wit who described systemd v256 as "now with 42% less Unix philosophy".

It was funny, but arrogant. These guys' arrogance deserves to be taken down multiple notches, IMHO. And the Wayland and Flatpak squads' too.

@lkanies (Side note, for those unused to my sense of humour. "Shining wit" is a Spoonerism.)
