Heard of systemd's latest controversy? We spoke with one of the key people involved in it. 

Inside the Systemd Age Verification Debate: Developer Responds to Criticism

A single pull request turned a quiet open source contributor into the unlikely target of one of the Linux community's most heated controversies. We interacted with Dylan Taylor to hear his side of the story.

It's FOSS (itsfoss.com)

@itsfoss could've all avoided this if this little weasel from North Carolina just minded his own damn business instead of rushing to implant this in a bunch of apps that are critical to linux os.

And it looks even more suspicious after CoC was being used to remove posts and him now going public about how he is the "victim" in this which makes him look even worse and more suspicious.

@itsfoss Im sorry for this guy and the doxxing etc. We should be exposing the lobbysts and the ones who created that law, not him.

On the other hand, i disagree with what he says. Im new into computing so i didnt know there were more sensitive data stored on systemd, which is still bad. And bc of that, i dont want laws to continue to add code things that can track my personal info.

@itsfoss Don't wanna sound paranoid but this feels like a shitty psiop...

@itsfoss He’s just a scapegoat pushed out by the corp, the whole story is that they want to draw people into one target and forget who's behind the curtain. He's just a jerk doing shitty over the place, systemd bloated the entire Linux landscape by Poettering, “standardized” is the term of what govs or corps nature using despite decentralization of Linux itself. They truly want to sabotage the open-source community with their faulty logic
