Then I've misread you, as "you have a decent shot to do it if you try hard enough". World won't change much because of me, but I will make sure to be a drop of change for the better
Have enough unreliable cogs in the machine and it won't do what you want. Yes, this is again a plan for long after we die, but doing something good is still worth it
Shure, changing the world will be hard as fuck and it could be years until you see any positive change
No. For people without needed capability (read: 99.(9) of all people on the planet) changing the world means "you will most likely die trying, and it might amount to something, but may as well not". And building said capability is again close to a full lifetime of work, if not more
All that happened was systemd management going "this politically motivated change is ok, that politically motivated change is not ok". No amount of "dis is opshionall" is going to change them being idiots at best and agents of ill will at worst
Nah. What is funny is a pull-request explicitly stating compliance with age verification laws getting merged and then revert refused with a "don't bring this discussion here" argument. This is where Lennart has lost me, with that bullshit of an excuse
So Lennart didn't have a problem with systemd being prepared to comply with some local legislation , then refused the revert because "don't bring this conversation here". I am calling bullshit
To be fair, I am bit split on this. On one hand, name and shame is an effective strategy and should be used. On the other hand, "put age verification into Linux" is a hilarious stretch. And yes, it feels strange that I have yet to see any kind of response from other systemd maintainers and managers - after all, the man authored a pull-request, not merged into into upstream. I have not been looking for that kind of response myself though, which also serves your point: putting all the blame and anger on this one man (I purposefully omit name) is too much
Good for you then :)
