Because of the setuid bit, and bloat.

empower more like nigger power

Anything other than plain old ``su'' is bloat.

If chuds are afraid of it then it must be good

ok, I just tried it. You can do

run0 --empower

and then you're in a shell with elevated privileges, but you are still "you" and not "root". Like if you run vim, it still runs your own vim config instead of root's vim config. Some things that directly check privileges work (like "cat /etc/shadow") but things that check if you're uid=0 don't work (like "pacman -Syu").

a pattern I've seen in lot of troons and troon-adjacents is the aversion for "old" things.
it does not matter how good something is, if it's old then it HAVE TO BE replaced by something newer even if it's near bug-free and feature-complete.
I've tried to get them to explain why but they either never responded or started having a stroke as nothing they said after this question made any sense.

a bug-free c-based world is better than a rust-based bug-free world and no amount of estrogen can prove me wrong. the only thing we should spend time on is improving C, any other effort to replace C is a waste of ressources

They killed hundreds of good languages to spend all the time on improving C, and it didn't work. C is an abomination and should not have existed.

This. Also, real men use sysvinit.

I can already do this with doas

Prime example: pitching JSON as a human-readable format but not giving it a comment syntax. JSON is like 25 years old and still not as mature as XML was on day one.

Another prime example: not designing Wayland to support real screen savers.

JSON is ok, it's not supposed to a configuration format but a serialization format, sir. The problem is not JSON but the retards using JSON for configuration.
[spoiler]I don't like JSON[/spoiler]

Personally, I like JSON
