babe wake up new reason to hate lennart poettering just dropped
Dylan M. Taylor, a Senior DevOps Engineer at Credit Genie, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu, & Arch.
He collaborated with two Microsoft employees to merge it. Lennart Poettering then personally blocked the revert & allowed the PR through.

babe wake up new reason to hate lennart poettering just dropped
a reddit post is claiming Lennart Poettering allowed Dylan Taylor’s surveillance PR through into the systemd repo because it commercially benefits Poettering’s new startup Amutable.
Amutable sells "cryptographically verifiable integrity”, OS attestation, & deterministic state compliance for Linux.

a) we're not talking about Lennart Poettering
b) Shuttleworth accused Poettering of being part of the "opensource tea party" bc they had differing opinion about display servers, not because of 'woke'
c) this happened in 2013?????
d) you are talking about a completely different guy

Mr Poettering has always been very adjacent to the white power movement himself, even creating an "open source tea party" to "fight the woke"
Maybe he could invite his fellow ilk to have tea with him? They share the same politics
Try again buddy

Hey, uh, the fact that Microsoft is starting to push "age verification" pull requests through for open source projects that have, up to this point, been privacy-focused should be fucking ALARMING to folks.
Doubly so when Lennart Poettering - the dude who favors breaking POSIX - is the one approving

But why is Mr #Poettering of #SystemD just "accepting" age attestation
Surely it has nothing to do with him quitting #Microsoft / microslop to create a NEW company named "Amutable" that seeks to "handle attestations (including age)" for GNU/Linux systems?
Scumbag isn't even hiding it

Ah, of course Poettering would block the reverting of this PR. He is a pox on Linux. :/
Sadly this is unlikely to be fixed anytime soon...

He's not sleep walking into this
Poettering is running head first into this and saying "I LOVE THE IDEA OF SYSTEMD BEING USED FOR CENSORSHIP, AND TRACKING THE USERS FOR GOVERNMENTS AND BIG CORPS"
Poettering & his ilk should not be allowed to contribute to the GNU/Linux ecosystem, without an adult
