i guarantee you the lawmakers who pass this kind of awful law have no idea what systemd even is or what it does
blaming it (or “systemd simps”) for this is a colossal waste of time. the surveillance society has been progressively installed in the imperial core ever since 9/11, age verification and what’s it turning into is a consequence of this, and systemd adding an age field is a consequence of that.
blaming systemd for this shit, even in part, is so bafflingly silly, such a ridiculous example of swapping cause and effect that i can’t imagine you’re doing it sincerely but apparently people agree with this???
that’s like blaming the small creek in your garden for the existence of the raging river upstream. idk.
I’m blaming the PEOPLE who say “no biggie, just a number” who can’t seem to get it through their thick, dumb, argumentative skulls that these kind of things ALWAYS AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION lead to loss of privacy and more authoritarian laws.
There’s a big picture. Stop arguing the tiny points with me and SEE IT.
You’re shooting the messenger. Meta and others are lobbying governments hard for this. They’re the ones causing you to lose your privacy. Not the volunteers that maintain systemd.
And you can go contact your local/state/federal government representatives (I mean actually call, or go to town halls). But you won’t, because hating on systemd is more important to you than your privacy.
It’s as plain as day. You’ll agree with me in a few years.
Lmfao, you think contacting reps is a thing that works in 2026? You must be over 60, right? With no clue where the world is going… or, you LOVE where the world is going… that’s probably more accurate.
No, it’s pretty clear that you’re the one that LOVES where the world is going. You have zero interest in changing where things are going, you just want the satisfaction of saying “I told you so”.
Well, guess what. Everyone else already knows everything you do. The volunteers are systemd aren’t going go to jail for you. They haven’t implemented age verification yet (no, an optional field in a schema is nothing close to verification) because they haven’t been forced to yet. If laws pass such that they have to add it or go to jail, yes they’ll implement it.
And when that happens, it will be because people like you took the effort to divide us instead of presenting a unified front against the corporations that are lobbying to take away our privacy.
But you won’t care about the last part, because you’ll be feeling too smug from “calling it”.

Then those volunteers can refuse. But they won’t, because they agree with this direction.

lol. No, you
No.
i agree, that’s why i think talking about systemd here (and arguing wether they want to implement this or not) is a massive distraction
anyways i’m gonna practice what i preach and stop talking about systemd now, enough bytes of online traffic have been spent on this
Thank you for being a voice of reason
