So the new #coreutils #uutils are now developed on a proprietary and exclusive platform. And I don't get it.
Rewrite it in #Rust, ok. Emancipate from #GNU and #Stallmann, ok. I get it.
But why on Earth put it in a walled garden, drag more users and contributors into a walled garden, and expand dependencies on Big Tech even for the base of #Linux systems? Why can't we have people who are both technically skilled *and* conceive basic freedoms and digital independence?
