The “systemd devs” are anyone with the cash é to contribute to it. Yes, you need to be competent dev for your merges to be accepted, unlike in the virus-infested AUR. But systemd can be forked if you don’t trust said devs. You’d be in the minority though because the majority of distros out there chose to adopt systemd, because it is that good.

Omg shut up. Nobody controls Systemd, it’s open source.

It’s not per year, it’s per month.

Wtf $150k a year for a developer is huge. Only in the US, maybe Switzerland, are those wages practiced. In Europe you’ll get about half of that and that’s still a good wage. I hate the amount of out of touch devs who think getting paid 6-figures is normal. Well, you see how well that works out, when the session system can’t even sustain itself due to the cost of labour lol.

ut could just be outplayed by a big corporation with enough money to copy this idea and sell it everywhere before he can even start production.

Which is also why Anti-Trust laws exist in pretty much every country and, when enforced, actually stop companies from becoming gargantuan Hydras.

In the US they haven’t been implemented for too long, of course.

Man I don’t know if this is a parody but you’re inconveniencing yourself to an extreme that doesn’t make any sense especially when the EU is in negotiations to happily hand out all our biometric data to the US anyway.

I am all for privacy but let’s be honest it is a total sham nowadays. Go de-google to your hearts content, i did the same and I couldn’t be happier (you just get treated better when you’re not the product, funnily enough), just understand you’re not really protecting yourself from anything when governments can, and do, just negotiate your data behind your back anyway.

Not to mention they look dogshit on GNOME. Fonts look so blue try you’re better off gauging your eyes out, it’s less painful.
