    Am I seriously reading programmers complaining that parsing ascii output from a CLI program is hard? I mean that's a tool CLI, it's not dumping megabytes of stuff to stdin.
    Pretty much.

    No one from that project wants to step up and do it due to possible legal issues and no one from outside the project knows how to step up and do it.

      Have you been to any university in the last half century? Having a dedicated computer for everyone beyond their personal laptops would be ridiculous. Do you have any idea what it would take to make all of the custom software run on all of those personal laptops, including all of the oddball hardware it's going to talk to?

      Shared computers are a thing and should stay a thing.
      It seems you just waked up... I was replying to another person and you missed completely the context but let me fixing it:

      No one shares computers at home these days anymore, and no one saves porno movies on the disk as well. I don't see any practical use for average end user. But this is the strategy behind systemd since the beginning, everything is for the desktop users while ends up to be a sophisticated tool for admins...

        You live in a rich neighbourhood I guess? Because this isn't really true.

        People that use more smartphones than computers are actually far more likely to have a single PC (laptop) per household that is used for tasks they can't do with smartphone.

          What I see is that they don't really care about ZFS at all and would have not done so themselves even if the library was usable. (this was stated at the beginning of the thread)

          They said they are open to contributions and said that only thing they can accept is CLI-based module that calls the stuff over commandline interface because of licensing issues, but that's not like a major issue for a filesystem tool, you don't need a high-speed interface to send commands and read a few lines of output.

          Then there are fapping people talking of json and all that crap, that is overkill for the kind of operation

            And these computers probably don't have Linux either...

              Exactly. The amount of people that share computers and don't even use multiple accounts is staggering.

              For most small businesses and end users, everything is done with a web browser outside of maybe a few specialty applications. Disregard professional users here because they have lots of specialty applications. Most people and small businesses can do their office work, taxes, email, purchasing, etc with a web browser and they just log in and out of web pages and/or/both share accounts. While it should work with any browser, any OS, x86_64 and Windows is still the safest bet (unfortunately).

                You're comparing people who come to Phoronix and argue about systemd-homed to the rest of the fucking world.

                  And that isn't going to change if Linux desktop does not become better than it currently is. Thanks for proving my point

                      Your welcome, but was that a competition?
