The “political stuff” about the birthdate field is completely overblown, as per usual with systemd. Binary logs aren’t that big a deal either. Like Torvalds said, those are details you can disagree with but it doesn’t mean you should dismiss the entire project because of it. Your comment is probably the first one I’ve read in this community that doesn’t boil down to: “I read somewhere that systemd doesn’t follow unix philosophy, yuck!”. That was kind of my entire point.
I wouldn’t even complain about it, if people here just stuck to shitposting instead of this thinly wrapped “I like/dislike X, please fight about it in the comments :)” bait.
I like most chicken substitutes. Some are impressively close to real chicken in terms of texture and taste. Actual, well prepared chicken is still a lot more delicious and offers more variation between different parts and the way they can be prepared.
I think this is still a pretty unpopular opinion, even if I’ve heard similarly positive responses to chicken substitute products from people I know (who aren’t necessarily vegetarian). I’ve never heard anyone say they were flat out superior.
