@vampiress yeah. I just did some digital gardening on this one.. people ought to realize that minus Dave Cutler, the whole world would be one big UNIX monoculture. That's the one person I really really wanted to meet at MSFT but never could. https://blog.codinghorror.com/showstopper/

@vampiress to be clear, I am not anti UNIX. How could I be? It's literally unavoidable. What I think we should avoid is monocultures, because they're not survivable long term.

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange @relay@relay.toot.io @vampiress A fun thing about playing with old OSs is seeing how much modern computing owes to this cross pollination of ideas!I would love to see more healthy OS alternatives, the 90s seemed like a great time for this.
