Its not leaving a lot of choice if it's part of systemd and I'd wager far more people do not want this than were asking for it. There's no benefit to it except for the government and corporations that want your data.

It doesn't guarantee anything, but does open the door for it. Now that this functionality exists, apps are going to start using it and requiring it. It's now something we all have to worry about and compensate for going forward.

If you're not putting accurate information in there why have it at all? Why argue in favor of it? There is literally no benefit to having this shit other than to comply with a bullshit law that they could get around by simply blocking California users from downloading their OS (this wouldn't actually work because peer to peer exists, but it would eliminate the OS developers responsibility in the situation).

It’s possible to put your full first and last name into your user, so by your logic the first and last name fields of the user profile should not exist.

Agreed

You don't even have to be educated to learn basic morality. Virtually all popular media teaches right and wrong. Babies can understand empathy. Being an evil prick is a choice.

How is having a centralized store of all your demographic information where any app can query it on your OS a privacy concern? Are you serious? Maybe people don't want to send their personal information to every single god damn thing that asks for it?

Example:

The Datastealingassholes app wants your data

Without this: You are prompted to enter your DOB in a field, decide fuck no, and that's that.

With this: They query the data store on your OS and they have whatever they want without input from you. Maybe the app is run by a bad actor trying to spy on you. They already have your DOB. It just confirmed for them that YOU are the person operating this PC.

Yeah they can use the pothole debris to kill all the pigeons. Pay attention.

Any education required to not be a piece of shit has been available to him his whole life. It's everywhere. Instead he's made the choice to ignore all of it and be a hateful fascist turd. Fuck him.

What benefit is there to have it? The only purpose it serves is to create privacy concerns.

This field will NEVER affect you unless you choose to install software on your system that requires it.

If the field did not exist software could not be made to utilize it.

It's not just a simple disagreement. They are allowing invasion of our privacy. If he didn't want people pissed at him he shouldn't have folded. We are dealing with government overreach on every front. Now is not the time to be giving up ground. I don't think he deserves death threats but if he's not with us he's against us.

So? He's too far gone already. Fuck him. I hope he realizes that and kills himself.

I need an SD slot and headphone jack so I'm on a Motorola g 25. I got it a couple months ago. It's pretty good so far. I chad an LG v20 prior to that.

Yeah I couldn't give less of a shit about china. They're on the other side of the planet and have no reason to care what I do. American government and corporations on the other hand could find all sorts of ways to fuck me over.
