It is just a arbitrary field. They could have a field for all sorts of questionable things and it wouldn’t bother me.
It is up to the people outside of systemd on how it gets used. Systemd is non political and will implement whatever features have a use case. They don’t control the distro.
And google doesn’t officially control web standards, but their monopoly on browser usage means they have “effective” control, for the most part at least.
hi. slrpnk.net user here. yes. grass is political. when you mow your grass is determined by social contracts, the kind of grass you grow is reflective of the economic pressures you experience. when a city makes a green area, they must engage with politics on how to determine where and what the green area will be.
since the dawn of civilization, aka growing grass for food purposes, grass growing has been both political in its decision making, as well as a driving force in politics.
everything is political, and calling people who think that chronically online is goofy

See the manifest v3 changes for extensions.
Its step one of falling in line like a good little fascist puppet.
Technology is inherently political.
This is something that has been known and taught for decades.
Learning towards bad faith pedant here.
you don’t know what inherent means, apparenty.
fuck me, the “everything is political” crowd in here needs to touch some grass.
That’s actually an interesting question…is grass political ?
By touching it, would we be signalling some sort of political stance ?
Something to ponder.

i’m also on slrpnk.net (same username) though i’m much more a lurker over there.
I’m all for the “everything is political” position, at least where animals are concerned (people are also animals).
I wasn’t asking that question in seriousness but your points are interesting.
I’d think all the examples you provided are people politics , with a grass subject.
I think what i meant was “is physical grass inherently political” but i haven’t thought this all the way through tbh.
I get that grass as a concept can be (and is) a political subject, but the physical grass itself ?
Like, can physical objects be inherently political if you take them outside of external political influences (people stuff)?
Hmm, i shall have to think about this one.
