    I’d wager most folks aren’t even sure why systemd was “controversial” and don’t remember a time before it, but are instead just jumping on systemd implementing age as a field.

      Ive been riding SystemD for its faults since the beginning. The age verification was just one more on the pile.

      A lot of the controversy against systemd was pure bullshit.

      but are instead just jumping on systemd implementing age as a field.

      My guess is you are right, but age verification is not an idea of systemd, implementing it is an attempt at making it possible to fulfill a legal requirement by some countries. It’s stupid, but stupid is now planned to be legally required in some countries.

        Yep, turns out technology enthusiasts who have a vested interest in an operating system are an opinionated bunch
