Lennart Poettering's Linus Torvalds rant

Open-source mailing lists and IRC conversations are as prone to flame wars as anywhere on the Internet, but now systemd co-creator Lennart Poettering is calling out Linus Torvalds in a more public forum for helping to create attacks on him.

Wahrscheinlich hat #fefe ein Angebot von Microsoft bekommen, dass er nicht ablehnen konnte.
Systemd-KI mit #poettering oder so.
Vielleicht sollte #Poettering die Mindestanforderung von #systemd auf CPUs mit #AVX2 erhöhen ;) (yam)

@wikinaut

Crazy.

Ich bin ja gespannt, was sich in Zukunft etablieren wird.

Poettering hat sich schon 2014 dazu Gedanken gemacht, als das klassische Paketsystem an seine Grenzen stiess (Revisiting How We Put Together Linux Systems), was schlussendlich zur Verbreitung der schrecklichen Flatpak- und ähnlicher Containerredundanz geführt hat.

Kürzlich hat er ein weiteres Essay veröffentlicht (Fitting Everything Together):

systemd 255 Released With A "Blue Screen of Death" For Linux Systems

@forrestguid #PipeWire - like #SystemD - fixes a lot of issues and I think it's unfair that people literally harass people like #Poettering that do this vital yet thankless work.

People should be thankful that people like him put up with toxic trash of Stallmanists and Haters, because I would've reconsidered if the pay to do so is good enough.
