Is there evidence that any Microsoft execs are pressuring Poettering? Wouldn't other people that work on systemd and linux object to poor architectural decision

Is 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.

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.
