Or in Linus Torvalds' words[1]:
It does become a problem when you have a system service developer who
thinks the universe revolves around him, and nobody else matters, and
people sending him bug-reports are annoyances that should be ignored
rather than acknowledged and fixed. At that point, it's a problem.

Mr. Poopering philosophy is the minute a dependencies maintainer becomes a thorn in his side - he absorbs that project into systemd. The distribution packagers follow like starving dogs on a hunt
- j0057 3y ago> Mr. Poopering This is childish and petty, I suggest you delete your account.
- etc-hosts 3y agoYou can't delete your HN account.
- j0057 3y agoInteresting! IANAL, but I think this should be basic functionality, ever since the recent-ish European and Californian privacy regulations. Although I think a quick e-mail to hn@ycombinator.com would suffice.
- Aerbil313 3y agoWould it really? Asking cause genuinely curious, literally the only online forum I can't remove my past public information from is HN.
- udev4096 3y agoEven if you delete your account, it wouldn't really matter that much. Whole HN is probably crawled and archived on a daily basis due to a simplistic API
- calvinmorrison 3y agoNo thanks!
- filmor 3y agoThis is about Kay Sievers, not Lennart Poettering.
