  • Birthdate field under discussion also in Arch Linux

    Jump

  • The timing makes me even more suspicious. Of all the times one could added this field, this is probably singularly the worst one. Right after discussions of mandatory age check? Seriously?

  • Is this the fine US is paying to UAE for fucking up in the middle east

  • never ages, perhaps can be extended as "restriction of personal freedoms"

  • Surge in Systemd forks after the latest changes

    Jump

  • That was a comment in the case this feature evolves into many apps requiring the age verification via this info. In that case I would like to part ways with any OS using systemd as a means of protest.

  • Masterful gambit

    Jump

  • One has to wonder how much money they made just of the crypto grift. Everything Trump has done from day one has been to funnel money from regular people's pockets into billionaires' pockets, including him self and every tech oligarch that bent the knee.

  • Unfortunately the strongest lobbies seem to decide what is doable, not humanity at large

  • Less old money and more historical money

  • honestly speaking did not put much effort into this research. I was intrigued and checked a couple of websites which all seemed to claim they are long dead and gone and posted one of them here.

  • Pope Leo calls war in Middle East a 'scandal' to humanity

  • Small countries be like that. I remember San Marino having a couple of surprising statistics too.

  • Systemd’s New Feature Brings Age Verification Option to Linux

    Jump

  • This is singularly the worst time such a change could be implemented, so much so that I am almost looking for malintent.

  • It is a psychological reaction. The amount of digital surveillance has massively increased in the last couple years. US has just started, as you probably know too, discussing the possibility of adding mandatory age checks to any device connecting to the internet (that might fail due to its infeasibility, but that is another issue). So is this reaction really that surprising? People are afraid that this might be the first of a series of changes that make it more surveillance friendly, such as actual age verification. Indeed incremental changes would probably be the only feasible way one can turn something like systemd surveillance friendly. Even leaving everything aside, this is singularly the worst possible time to suggest such a change to the level that I would almost look for malintent.

  • I suppose people are afraid that this is just the step one of a series of incremental changes that will make systemd more surveillance friendly. Regarding changing distros, starting a fork and doing couple fixes is not the same thing as maintaining it and being vetted by the community. So I would too change distro to a non systemd one, although options might be quite limited.

  • The only institution that has been improving in terms of leadership in the last decade seems to be the Church. Welp time to move to vatican and apply for a job in the inquisition I guess.

  • 25 countries ranked by the share of respondents who said people in their country are moral (2025)

    Jump

  • I bet countries that are like %60 vs %40, %50 vs %50 etc have generally two dominant parties and these percentages reflect rough vote percentages.

  • google is a prison and the enemy of FOSS, we really need an alternative

    Jump

  • The main difference is they (Apple) have been clear with their design choice since the beginning and they had their own market. Google is imposing this change on many users who did not want such an ecosystem to start with. But I suppose the market share of people who won't care about this will be large enough that they will survive, because they are a tech monopoly.

  • If some company did this with computers 20 years ago they would probably go bankrupt the next year. This is what happens when tech oligarchies are allowed.

  • The AI Company Zuckerberg Just Poured $14 Billion Into Is Reportedly a Clown Show of Ludicrous Incompetence

  • It is not like google is now devoid of labelled crap data. After you tick couple boxes correctly to make google rewards trust you, you can basically upload a receipt that is from another continent from a totally unrelated shop and google still accepts it without even doing the most basic checks like address and date verification.
