Am I the only one who finds that weird that the author of this piece purportedly a journalist relies on twitter and rumours rather than you know email or call Pottering to ask him what he is doing? Is Phoronix supposed to be taken seriously?
- jeshin 4y agoWell the article does state: >At first I thought they were jokes or just snarky remarks, but after a day of following up with folks, it actually turns out not to be a joke. So who's to say he didn't? Twitter seems just to be where he first heard it
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoI mean why is he following up with folks? It’s not like it’s extremely hard to get in touch with Poettering.
- zaphirplane 4y agoHis redhat email returns out of office err OOF
- bayindirh 4y agoFrom my observations, Poettering is not a person who kindly answers his e-mails.
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoYour observation strongly differs from mine then. Poettering has always been fairly reachable and is easy to communicate with. That might have changed following the torrent of abuse a minority of the Linux community threw at him. I hope it’s not the case.
- bayindirh 4y agoI really would love to be proven wrong to be honest.
- the_biot 4y agoFrankly no. I don't mean to denigrate, but Phoronix is generally not seen as all that great a source of good journalism. He did say he at least tried to confirm this news however.
