This is ridiculous. Programmers operate mostly out of ego. They get some idea about how things should be and they make it. I think systemd is no different.

It's still completely open source and auditable.

Oh you know what else is big and monolithic? The kernel. That's right, they could monitor you from there.

Not every last thing is a conspiracy.

Kernel has a well defined boundary and a clear defined API and it is not trying to go beyond that

Systemd is spreading left and right (someone jokingly saying that it will be the new linux kernel) , breaking stuff in the process and making itself mandatory when it was NOT

If you cannot see why this is bad.... you are on the other side of the fence, hopefully you are paid for it.

Have a nice day.... in any case.

Wow, I just wrote an article mostly ranting about systemd and now I must be a paid shill that's pro systemd?

All I'm saying is that I doubt systemd is a backdoor heaven. Could it have useful vulnerabilities? Absolutely. But I would bet they are unintentional.

Systemd will merge with kernel and firefox in near future, first distro to use it will be Windows +9000.
