Looking into systemd complying in advance with fascism ("age verification"), I was curious who is employing Lennart Poettering these days.

@Ember @be think your instincts are spot-on; i recalled a previous instance of propaganda laundering https://circumstances.run/@hipsterelectron/116261919716350723

@Ember and embarassingly, they're handling this better than real distros 🥴

[be@floss.social]

I am starting to seriously consider switching distros to one that does not use systemd based on these recent events... maybe I should try Guix. Looks like it has KDE packaged now, unlike the last time I looked at it.

@be What's the systemd connection? I've been watching the age discussion from the sidelines but not closely enough to know how that's related.

@be he was microsoft for a long time iirc

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@be not sure kde and gnome are all white in this. I may be uselessly suspicious.

[firn@scholar.social]

@be Ah, one more reason to dislike systemd. Guess Devuan or something then.. Or all the way back to my bsd days..

@f4grx They're not. The XDG Desktop Portal PR was made by a KDE developer. https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/1922

@f4grx yep I am aware
