cowsay should only have a cow saying things, therefore they should create milksay, dragonsay, etc
what are some viable alternatives to cowsay as a daily driver without the bloat and in terms with the unix philosophy
Why are you using Manjaro then?
sir, do the needful sir, do NOT change subject
Just fork it and create your own version of cowsay.

>therefore they should create milksay, dragonsay, etc
having separate executables for every creature would add more bloat
>fork it
just make it from scratch, its literally printing with word wrap
but then you would be able to just install the creature that you wish to use
But Linux, and more specifically, Manjaro doesn't follow the unix philosophy. You should switch to bsd if you want real unix.
Thats already how cowsay works
Yep Cock
then why Linux doesn't have thumbnails in the file explorer?
then it should be charactersay or it shouldn't come with so many .cow's by default
what are some useful programs that do one thing and do it well
Switch to kde plasma, install chromium, and move on with life.
aria2c
wtf i love cowsay now
different characters saying something in the same exact manner is redundancy not multifarious functionality
based
GNU/Linux specifically opposes the “Unix philosophy”. Cowsay is GPL software so it also opposes that nonsense.
