Dylan, useful idiot with commit access, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu & Arch, got 2 Microslop employees to merge it, called it 'hilariously pointless' in the PR itself, then watched Lennart personally block the revert. Unpaid compliance simp.

    The birthDate field is optional. As userdb as a whole.

      Age verification isn’t optional (at least in the jurisdictions in question, and for now).

      It’s like talking to a wall with these people.

        What do you mean with “these people”?

        All I say is that no one forces you to enter a value in an optional part oft the systemd project (not to be confused with systemd, the init process).

          By “these people”, I mean people who just don’t get it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
