The open source client doesn't mean jack shit dude. Telegram also has open source client. Your data lives on their servers not clients and also, even if the server code is open source, there are many ways for a backdoor and violations of privacy in the infrastructure. When you give up your phone number, there is no privacy.

Now I understand why we men love all these things. They last forever and for some reason this really appeals to men.

Just search IBM IoT and look at IBM acquisitions in the last decade.

Everyone "used to work for that company" on the internet. And even if you used to work there it doesn't mean you know anything about their business. IBM is more of a Holding now. Like Volkswagen. Just because someone works at audi it doesn't mean they know anything about Lamborghini.

SystemD works great, but the corporations and politics behind it will ruin Linux if they fully take over. They are already optimizing heavily for IoT just because IBM is heavily focused on IoT
