Please keep the discussion polite, and don’t get too much carried away into trying to convince others of your own ideas. Exchange is less than that. And sometimes, less is more. Thanks in advance.

Nothing about this looks bad, they are putting an optional dob right next to an already optional full name and email. People are losing their mind about it when an even more intrusive piece of data already exists in the same place. Idk about any of you losers, but I can’t think of any time I’ve been asked to provide my actual name or email on a systemd machine. Maybe some optional field from a distro installer that the distro decided to ask for, not systemd itself. Their only concern with this is giving it a place of live that’s appropriately secure, but you’d think they were the bad guys reading people yapping about it.
As soon as this actually becomes a thing I’m setting it to April 1st year zero like everyone else with a functioning brain will and not crying about it in a PR like some no-life activist.
Blaming software for COMPLIANCE with the law is STUPID, people. I expected some of you would be more intelligent.
Coding has been ruled as free speech. Forcing this into code is no different imho than being forced to say Trump is the greatest and I love him!! anytime you wanted to speak.
I’d be fascinated to see how the US would be if it were completely legal to do basically anything as long as it was triggered through code.
01/01/1970 about to be a real popular birthdate.
Imagine being that poor motherfucker born 1 jan 1970. No one will ever believe you, and you cannot get your json file.
Pottering is in there saying he doesn’t care enough about this, practicing whataboutism, and asking Claude to review the code for him. gg Pottering.
My contrarianism is vindicated!
