"I'm choosing euthanasia etd 1pm." @12:35 PM · Oct 4, 2016

From Wikipedia: Pieter Hintjens (3 December 1962 – 4 October 2016) was a Belgian software developer

It's his choice, and I support it if that's what he really wanted, but it's still really creepy to see.

In case you ever doubted the systemd team suffers from delusions of grandeur.

Really? Like most projects, they have a logo. What's wrong with that?

A logo, a palette of colours, a typography, brand guidelines... all for an init system for Linux. They think they are fucking Coca Cola.

If you don't think that's just insane... well I'm just getting old I guess.

An init system is just one of many, many projects under the systemd umbrella.

Perhaps you should learn more about a project before launching into criticism?

Ah that is true. That reminds me that they should only be an init system and not Cthulhu.

Friendly reminder that they managed to infiltrate all distros by creating a hard dependency from GNOME to systemd, which they could only pull off because both projects belong to the same corporation.
