Linda if you ever wonder why people mark you as unhelpful (the below seem to be a common thing for systemd-hate-trolls though): You're trying sneaky to get people on your side by talking about something (off-topic) good and relate it to your arguments. You try to downplay arguments from others with a subjective, misinformed rant and than start talking off-topic about microscopes, Fox news, freedom and how proud you're of your first perl module but you're sad because people don't like it and mark you somewhere as unhelpful.
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?
