I flagged your post because at this point, talking about systemd is just flamebait.
You have an opinion about what an init system "should" be. Systemd developers have another. If you don't want systemd, don't use it. What's that, you can't "not" use it because your distribution decided to use it? There's a good reason they did. If you think you know better, use one that doesn't, or do your own distro…
Systemd is also a poor example of an "overfunded" project. Some of its developers are paid, but it's not funded "as a project", it's just maintained by a company.
Want an overfunded open source project? Look at React. And yet, look at how incredibly popular and useful it is. The "overfunding" goes into conferences and developer advocacy.
Bad thesis, bad examples, easy to find counter examples. Money in open source can be problematic. More often than not, it's the lack thereof that is.
- b112 4y agoFlagging my comment, and then wading into the discussion, should be flaggable in itself. If you disagree with my post, downvote. If you engage in what you call flamebait(it wasn't), you are therefore fanning the flames, and out of line. I do not believe your actions are in good faith here.
- scrollaway 4y agoI was being polite by actually telling you why you were being downvoted and flagged, rather than doing it without explaining. I didn't engage in your flamebait, I addressed the underlying side-premise that systemd might be an overfunded project.
- b112 4y agoYour claim was that mentioning systemd at this point, was flamebait. (Again, you were wrong, however...) Therefore, if you engage in any discussion related to systemd, as a reply, you have waded into what you claim is flamebait! There is no escaping this logc. Hand waving, misdirection won't help here. Your actions were wrong.
