Oh yeah? Well, I find it hard to believe that after twenty years
you can't ls /dev to see how large your disks are, or that ps
still thinks a controlling tty is a dominant idea in choosing
which processes to display, or that ...  Or that the system is
still just like it was 20 years go, except for the crap that was
added on, never cleaned up, and never made to fit together,
let alone to be Unix-like in any way.

Sockets? X? They're so, well, not Unix-like.

It's sad.
