Yeah. I'm pretty sure it requires a very specific psychological profile to decide to work on such a user-hostile project while post-fact rationalizing that it's "for good".

All I can say is I'm not surprised that Poettering is involved in such a user-hostile attack on free computing.

P.S: I don't care about the downvotes, you shouldn't either.

Does this guy do anything that is user-friendly and is as per open source ethos of freedom and user control? In all this shit-show of Microsoft shoving AI down the throat of its users, I was happy to be firmly in the Linux camp for many many years. And along come these kind of people to shit on that parade too.

P.S: Upvoted you. I don't care about downvotes either.
