I m a gentoo and mageia user ( but I donated half a bitcoin to devuan because I need devuan ) , and I can tell you the behaviour of mageia developpers is the same, I also exereinced the same nazi behaviou on archlinux irc channel. so i m not surprised debian developpers have this attitude. imo there no joke at all here, the same "whataboutism" is imposed in the linux world at the systemd level, as it is imposed in politics and geopolitics all over the world. > From my standpoint, systemd is neither bad nor good, it is badly constructed. what is real bad is the denial of our right to disagree and state our opinions and choices, and not only in the linux world ( sorry I stopped saying GNU/linux until stallman finally moves his ass in this freedom war ) another real bad thing is this kind of backdoor, https://grsecurity.net/~spender/exploits/exploit2.txt " these kinds of vulnerabilities turning exploitable in the future which would be impossible to spot at the source level without this knowledge.

Same here I accept it on my mageia laptop, i dont really care the nsa knowing everything of me ( they already have http://leaksource.info/2013/12/30/nsas-ant-division-catalog-of-exploits-for-nearly-every-major-software-hardware-firmware/ ) , but, for the sake of my customers, I will never ever accept this on the dedicated servers i m paid to mange by customers trusting me. > Thoughts anyone? yup, good question _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
