The People Who Promoted systemd in Debian Also Promote Wayland
There has been a lot of distraction from what matters:
This is not politics. Also, this is a matter of public record.
That's in Debian, where Microsoft staff was promoting Mono (in conjunction with the same in Ubuntu). That Microsoft staff is closely connected to the Serial Strangler, whom I sued yesterday. He's working with other Microsofters, who promote back doors under the guise of "security". There are new holes discussed in the media this week; they impact UEFI 'secure boot'.
So much for "secure"...
One common pattern we've noticed: they promote a Code of Conduct Censorship, they demand that the FSF removes its own founder and visionary, they promote whatever comes out from IBM and Microsoft orifices (not limited to systemd), and they demand censorship of blogs that merely talk about it. They basically try to deplatform the opposition, the critics, the people who dare disagree with them.
The person above spent many years in the US Army after he had become a sexual predator. Then Canonical hired him (it seems to fancy hiring from the military, even its former CEO), then fired him (not because Canonical didn't know; it just became a scandal and a liability even Canonical customers likely asked the company about).
Remember that Canonical customers give these people access to critical systems.
This is what his sister said to the court (about what he had done to her when she was a kid):
[content warning: may disturb some people]
This is his choice of avatar in Reddit (where he still promotes systemd this month):
It burns.
Canonical knew what he was in prison for. He even told them. Canonical cares about event safety and Code of Conduct enforcement, yet its HR staff deems such people safe to hire. What does that say about the HR staff? A more thorough investigation is needed and meanwhile people would be right to question Canonical's "rust-first" agenda (GitHub), which may harm security - not just compatibility - rather than improve it. A youngster from the British Army, where they worked to intercept signals (or crack systems), should not be making such decisions. █
