CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@itsfoss He’s just a scapegoat pushed out by the corp, the whole story is that they want to draw people into one target and forget who's behind the curtain. He's just a jerk doing shitty over the place, systemd bloated the entire Linux landscape by Poettering, “standardized” is the term of what govs or corps nature using despite decentralization of Linux itself. They truly want to sabotage the open-source community with their faulty logic

…which is enough to run a full OS inside a system service. Yay!And not just that: it also works unprivileged, i.e. it's enough to also run a full OS with 64K UIDs from a user controlled directory tree. Yippieh yay!

I had a first quick look for Linux distros without systemd and you might be interested as wellhttps://itsfoss.com/systemd-free-distros/#Linux #systemd

@nik @torproject @mullvadnet I find that too bad, but back then it made sense since usernames rarely were long enough and in the academic-scientific envoirment of #Unix (and most of the #Internet) #Anonymity and #Privacy weren't priorities at all.But given today's context, thesse fields should.not only be optional, but actually be expunged.Or at the very least, one should not add anything to them that has no "legitimate reason" for it."#AgeVerification" is #Cyberfascist| Bullshit and it's being pushed by #NSAbook / #StasiBook / #Facebook / #Meta as means to kill competition like the #Fediverse!

@guinnessduck Do you enjoy using Emacs or vi . Now that’s a flame war. I have been using Linux long enough I don’t like transitioning to new ways and relearning how to do things…

@RootMoose Linux: come to the dark side, we have cookies.*BSD: Search your feelings, you can't do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your init system. ...Oh, we have coffee, cake and tiramisu at the bsd.cafe as well.

@clonedhuman @jxvvt @itsfoss they already have your real name, email, room number and phone number, so why not also bithdate?Ah and of course you can just not put any data into those fields just as it is today ‍️

Well, we don't decide what the customers decide to ship, or where it goes. We don't enforce policy like that; our job is just to provide a neutral platform for others to use to accomplish their goals. We don't even know what they ship - we just build the train cars. We don't even know where Bergen-Belsen is.This is a post about #systemd.#AgeVerification #AgeGate #AgeGating #identification #deanonymization #anonymous #fascism #fascist #compliance #ComplyInAdvance #DoNotComply #DoNotComplyInAdvance #resistance #freedom #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #coconspirator #accomplice #DeathCamp #ConcentrationCamp

Big #security improvement for #openSUSE #FDE; pcr-oracle is being replaced by #systemd-pcrlock, which stores policy in #TPM2 non-volatile RAM and protects against rollback attacks. Time to migrate! #Linux https://news.opensuse.org/2026/03/11/dropping-pcr-oracle/

@itsfoss@itsfoss you guys lost the plot on this one. It was no place for systemd to do this in the first place regardless of how dumb and harmful the legislation is. But actions like this is what legitimises dumb and harmful laws.

@ArneBab "What you're referring to as Linux, is, in fact, systemd/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, systemd plus Linux."

Age verification compliance is another aberration of systemd. Luckily, there are alternative init systems and GNU/Linux distributions that care about your privacy. https://itsfoss.com/news/systemd-age-verification/#systemd #privacy #runit #openRC

@shanmukhateja There are no hard dependencies on systemd in Plasma, nor are there plans that there be:https://floss.social/@kde/116080098289301477So why are you tagging us?

@foufoutos Say ypu are 12 year old and want to access the sites you just put like you are 18 and that is it as there is no verification method

@tk our ntp server appliances at work run slackware

@pid_eins Something seems wrong here... these 'new feature' threads always have 5-15 posts, and this one only has two

@benjamineskola I saw that also.
