The hell are you on about? People can, and are, upset about both. That said, changing a piece of software is monumentally easier than changing laws when you're up against an entire industry lobbying against your interests.
That's why you see the focus on the software.
Systemd refusing and telling CA to figure it the fuck out would have been one of the strongest counters to this bullshit currently available, and that option was just thrown in the fucking garbage. Of course people are going to be mad at systemd.
We are going to fork it or just remove it.
That whatever happens the problem is always systemd. Chain of events:
Who is to blame for all of this? Poettering who else...
subjectively, all of the above.
Of course you're seeing complaints about systemd in a discussion about systemd's part in this.
If you | go and look | at the other | conversations about | the same law in a non-systemd | context you'll | see complaints there as well
It's like claiming no dry land exists when you're swimming in the sea (within sight of the beach).
Blame? The realm of source code is ours! It takes less time to undue the PR then we are taking bickering about it.
