I’m shocked that so many on Lemmy are siding with it. Look at the systemd conversations and like 1/3 of them are saying it’s a “nothing burger” (yes, the words they used).
I just tag them all as ‘fed/magat’ and move on, but the number of them is disappointing.
Got any knowledge on what's going on with systemd?
It added age verification features.
It added an age data box not unlike the already existing fields that can contain name, phone number, etc. which are not in use to verify you either.
You can label anyone what you will but given the technically inclined who understand things here I encourage you to look again.
Age verification is BS but adding a data field along with other existing ones isn't doing anything by itself, especially as the distros themselves would have to be made to use it.
Slippery slope, fed

Sure thing pal.
It's a real shame Bell Labs started this slippery slope with gecos half a century ago. Slippery indeed.
I am shocked I tell you. It's never about the kids, or the family unit, or the fabric of society. It's about exerting their will upon others. And playing us all as numbers in their stats games.
