Ok. Here’s the thing. I don’t know how linux works. I don’t know what systemd is. All I know is that all around the world we got clowns who know less about linux than I do trying to dictate the entire worldwide internet to cater to their specific geographical location, regardless of where the user is.

Then I hear systemd is openly trying to bow at the knee before these laws are even in effect.

And yes, the current system is you as a user inputting your birthday with zero verification.

But the gov of california has already said that before these laws go into effect they’ll be looking for stricter laws with checks in place. These systems are not in place now. Nor do they even know what they will turn out to be.

When asked about this, the gov said “We’re working on it.”

Then systemd comes along, ready to bend all of linux to their whims. So I put two and two together and decided this whole thing is pissing me off.
