  • Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support

    Jump

  • 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

  • Just a reminder

  • And honestly they are boring. Ugh, these guys are also bad!.. so fucking what. Sit down and die on the hill of moral high ground?

  • Meta found liable in child exploitation case

    Jump

  • Oh no, "child protection" was never about protecting children? I am shocked, shocked

  • Surge in Systemd forks after the latest changes

    Jump

  • 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

  • Being half a world away from Americas is pretty easy, don't ya think?

  • 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

  • I care. One thing is "you know, fields with this name have been around since before you were born", another thing is "some idiots passed the law half the globe away, now we are preparing your system to comply. Someone has to (c)". The field is not the danger, the thinking, attitude and act is

    Edit: some local law, for fuck's sake

  • So maybe next time when someone sees a pull-request like this, they think before merging it?

    *provided no one gets hurt. I sympathise with the uproar, but physically hurting the guy is definitely too much

  • Uhm, wat. Had to implement, worldwide? Da fuck are you talking about?

  • Well, they had to fight long and hard to break from enslavement first. That kind of memory lives for a long time

  • Easier it is, sure. And optional field it is - for now. But the moment anything (that should not be interested in it) asks my age on install, I am dropping that software

  • Windows 11's free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive

    Jump

  • Clipchamp? Sheesh. Waiting for "apps" called Yo, Bruh and so on

  • Does the matrix have you?

  • Damn, do I like it. Thank you!
