If German communication infrastructure providers had obeyed in advance like that, privacy violating data retention would be a reality in Germany now.

@ArneBab Wasn't this Linux originally supposed to be a multi user operating system? Oh well, another reason to stay far away from modern toy Linux distributions and migrate to Devuan or one of the big BSDs…

@deBaer My understanding is that this is per-user.
And can only be set by the admin:

Next expected step is that when you setup a new user, you must get their birth date signed by some online service which checks your ID card (maybe with video-ID).
Because having a wrong birth date registered would be bad, right?

Everything that needs to be known about a user should either be in /etc/passwd, the user's home directory or, for all the enterprisey types, in a real LDAP server. This additional layer makes no sense.

@deBaer systemd is the Windowsing of Linux.
Just check whom Poettering works for now.

@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."
