      Ok, who decides which law is clown and which isn’t? You? Or Sam Altman? I guess he has a different idea what laws he wants to follow. See, it’s a slippery slope you recommend.

      Change your clown laws, and don’t bully projects who just wants linux to become viable alternative to common people. Don’t make perfect enemy of good.

        False equivalence as privacy is a human right. Article 12 of the UN declaration of human rights.

        People have the right to switch projects and criticize the actions of the developers.

          So it’s the legistlation’s fault again, why aren’t you mad at them, why only systemd? In other jurisdictions you don’t have to use this field. And I don’t see anything in the PR about the verifability of the date. It’s just an optional number it stores in a db, offline.

          Programmers have to become lawyers now?

          Also a lot other projects has a birthday field, e.g. last time I worked with was LDAP: https://ldapwiki.com/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Birthdate I guess it’s there since the 90s.

            The hell are you on about? People can, and are, upset about both. That said, changing a piece of software is monumentally easier than changing laws when you’re up against an entire industry lobbying against your interests.

            That’s why you see the focus on the software.

            Systemd refusing and telling CA to figure it the fuck out would have been one of the strongest counters to this bullshit currently available, and that option was just thrown in the fucking garbage. Of course people are going to be mad at systemd.

              That whatever happens the problem is always systemd. Chain of events:

              • voters vote for corrupt politician
              • big tech compaies bribe said politician to have shitty law
              • freedesktop requests systemd for backend to comply with said law
              • systemd just adds the field to the userdb

              Who is to blame for all of this? Poettering who else…
