Doesn’t care if its devices can’t be sold in regions that require ID verification.

        Yeah there was some drama about it.

        https://www.sambent.com/the-engineer-who-tried-to-put-age-verification-into-linux-5/

        This blog explains the situation but also attacks the developer that did it and I do not think he is to blame here.

          that isnt age verification though, it is not verifying the age; its just asking the user to input their age, something websites and apps have been doing for ages

            Personally, I don’t want my kid to use a device that is broadcasting their age in any way. Just makes them a target to Epstein bros. Going to a site that is asking age verification is different, there’s a voluntary step there

            That’s the first step to it. SystemD doesn’t need to store any private data like that. Like most changes, if it’s done in stages, instead of all at once. It’s much harder to revert…

        What do you mean? Systemd maintainers merged the PR and the founder blocked the revert. They have obviously some hidden agenda about this.

          Complying with fascist laws is barely a “hidden” agenda in the NaziMerica.

          At the least other inits have begun resisting these Nazi laws.

              You are extremely welcome to journal your exploration in our community.

              I was just point out there’s nothing hidden with Nazis acting Nazi. Everyone in SlopD is a Nazi.
