the pressure from social media worked.

people don't realize this, but this is how they infect a good product and build surveillance network. today it is age verification for OS, tomorrow they will come with sex verification to target LGBQT+ groups or country verification to target minorities or immgirations, etc.
Meta, the evil corp who is behind this, wants everything trackable, starting with your age &d id verification, KYC, & whatnot. it is my computer, & i am not going to be tracked. it is the same reason you use an adblocker
@nixCraft
Same shit:
Try to buy a car nowadays and tell me it is "your car".
Geo-tracking, telemetry, subscriptions... -
the pressure from social media worked. In systemd, age verification has finally been reverted and removed for good. Linux is always for privacy conscious users, it isn't just another Microslop SlopOS https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41179 thanks @reddy_1975 for the heads up!
@nixCraft am I reading this right? it says poettering doesn't want to merge the PR or even discuss it -

@nixCraft @reddy_1975 Huh? The PR says "Closed with unmerged commits" while it only contains one commit.
Unless I'm completely missing something fundamental, this means the opposite of what you're claiming.

@nixCraft @reddy_1975 I'm tired of this trend to pressure FOSS projects, how about we revert the laws. You're still a slave of the state, might as well stay as one if your only hope is to talk nonsense online.

@nixCraft @reddy_1975 i've pulled a fork out to codeberg so we atleast have an unpolluted copy outside github

@nixCraft @reddy_1975 this pr was closed by a systemd maintainer for the following reason:
"It's an optional field in the userdb JSON object. It's not a policy engine, not an API for apps. We just define the field, so that it's standardized iff people want to store the date there, but it's entirely optional."
didn't think the FOSS community would be so excited to introduce privacy violations so quickly
@synnef@woof.tech @reddy_1975@mastodon.online it’s ‘open source’, not ‘the FOSS community’

Wasn't the report that published on this revealed to be LLM garbage?

@nixCraft maybe I’m misunderstanding but where’s the age verification? It looks like it’s just an optional field that they don’t do anything with?

@nixCraft @reddy_1975 any os with age verification is getting uninstalled and replaced by something that won’t sell me out to a gaggle of jackboot techbros with mommy issues from lack of love
-
@nixCraft @reddy_1975 uh, the PR you linked was closed and not merged.
@lionel @nixCraft @reddy_1975 wait.. It's indeed not merged. So it's not reverted!
The pr was about reverting the changes.

@nixCraft @reddy_1975 Imagine inventing something as terrible as systemd and then somehow finding ways to make it even worse.

@nixCraft > a good product
Okay, I wouldn't go that far.

@gjerma @nixCraft @reddy_1975 What laws? How about we don’t let the laws of North Korea or Iran decide what our operating systems should look like?

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Where the freacking heck that law about age verification tells it is applicable to anything not social media or based on onlines account. if you have hint while i search the answer, i would be glad!

@nixCraft @reddy_1975 Never liked systemd mess. runit is a better, cleaner, lighter alternative.

@nixCraft @reddy_1975 Don't obey in advance. With this attitude, Poettering is making himself irrelevant.
