It enables another dead brained dev to push it further
Little by little
It is just a arbitrary field. They could have a field for all sorts of questionable things and it wouldn't bother me.
It is up to the people outside of systemd on how it gets used. Systemd is non political and will implement whatever features have a use case. They don't control the distro.
Its step one of falling in line like a good little fascist puppet.

And google doesn't officially control web standards, but their monopoly on browser usage means they have "effective" control, for the most part at least.
See the manifest v3 changes for extensions.
Technology is inherently political.
This is something that has been known and taught for decades.
Learning towards bad faith pedant here.
you don't know what inherent means, apparenty.
fuck me, the "everything is political" crowd in here needs to touch some grass.
You apparently are incapable of critical thinking if you don't recognize political environments existing that drive the engineering of the technology in question. Thus being, wait for it, inherent.
sure, many things influence what technology is being developed, politics, culture, economy. That does not make it inherent, ie. inseparable from it. That would mean that you can only have technology where politics play a relevant role, which is obviously not true.
That's actually an interesting question...is grass political ?
By touching it, would we be signalling some sort of political stance ?
Something to ponder.
hi. slrpnk.net user here. yes. grass is political. when you mow your grass is determined by social contracts, the kind of grass you grow is reflective of the economic pressures you experience. when a city makes a green area, they must engage with politics on how to determine where and what the green area will be.
since the dawn of civilization, aka growing grass for food purposes, grass growing has been both political in its decision making, as well as a driving force in politics.
everything is political, and calling people who think that chronically online is goofy
i'm also on slrpnk.net (same username) though i'm much more a lurker over there.
I'm all for the "everything is political" position, at least where animals are concerned (people are also animals).
I wasn't asking that question in seriousness but your points are interesting.
I'd think all the examples you provided are people politics , with a grass subject.
I think what i meant was "is physical grass inherently political" but i haven't thought this all the way through tbh.
I get that grass as a concept can be (and is) a political subject, but the physical grass itself ?
Like, can physical objects be inherently political if you take them outside of external political influences (people stuff)?
Hmm, i shall have to think about this one.
The type of grass that is so predominant is because of stupid social views of what a house/yard is supposed to look like.
The fact that a lot of HOA's and even some cities ban yards being used to grow anything but grass should tell you have political it is.
