- kragen 3y agoi'm not suggesting we try to stop microsoft from using linux, but they certainly shouldn't be making key architectural decisions
- naasking 3y agoIs there evidence that any Microsoft execs are pressuring Poettering? Wouldn't other people that work on systemd and linux object to poor architectural decisions? This is a key feature of open source development, it's just not so easily subverted.
- sounds 3y agoI mean, Microsoft pays him a regular paycheck. I think you're moving the goalpost quite a bit to ask that the community accept anyone's contributions until solid proof of malicious intent is shown. Are you prepared to accept my contribution? I sign my name "JiaT57notThatJiaTan"
- naasking 3y agoI'm not moving any goalposts, you're saying someone with decades of open source kernel development and a solid reputation is no longer trustworthy because of who now signs that paycheque. That's just nonsense, and has nothing to do with the scenario you posed.
- sounds 3y agoHN Guidelines Checklist: [ ] When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. For example, arguing with "nonsense" and "has nothing to do with the scenario" detract from HN [ ] Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. Avoid saying "I'm not ___" in a reflexive way [ ] Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity such as for Lenart Poettering's "a solid reputation" [ ] Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate.
