This diatribe against Linda is interesting to me. It's obvious that we all live in our own "frames of reference", or "bubbles" if you will. People/things/ideas outside of our own personal bubbles cause suspicion and hostility. I'm sure that Damian, Dirk and Linda are fine, upstanding, and honest people, but they are perceived by those outside their bubbles as being "unhelpful".
Could it be that like/dislike of systemd is correlated with the political bubbles in which we live? Could appreciation of systemd come from Liberals? Fear and loathing of systemd comes from Conservatives? Does political polarization extend into our technical world?
Maybe the answer here is for us to expand our bubbles? Does the truth lie in that area in the middle where the bubbles overlap?
For the record, I'm conservative (surprise!) and I am suspicious of systemd. Linda: are you conservative? Damian: are you liberal? Dirk: are you conservative? Can your opinion of systemd be correlated with how you vote on election day?
Velly intellestink. If this correlation is generally true, it would seem Linda is a fish out of water being a conservative in Damian's left coast (California). Same for Dirk in liberal Michigan union territory. My sense is the French are generally liberal, applicable to Anton in Toronto. I consider myself a right leaning Independent, originally registered Independent, but now as a Republican so I can vote in primaries.
Michigan has a Republican legislature and a Republican Governor. The unions are dead, and the Democrats killed them (primarily the UAw and the Teamsters) because the Democrats decided that anyone who is white, male, or working in the private sector is the enemy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
