Sorry, minor correction. Not all the systemd developers. One single dickhead wrote it and two chuds who work at microslop merged the PR made this happen. The git structure got hijacked. People are arguing over the validity and necessity of the PR while ignoring the broader goals this serves.
To be frank, I am so sick of this invasive nonsense. I have a son and you know how I’m going to manage access for him? Not fucking letting him have the damn computer before he knows how to use it safely. I grew up on Web 1 and web 2.0. They were much scarier places back in the day and easier to find.
Moreover, this also follows with the trend of sensationalizing threats to make the pearl clutchers feel this is a good choice. Its no different that how the news screams the US is unsafe with tons of violent crime to justify this kind of bullshit when violent crime has been declining on the whole.
This ginned up controversy serves one interest. Control access to knowledge so you never question the State again.
You aren’t wrong to suspect the timing. They have been working on a variety of bills to work on the KYC aspect of the business. This major push, along with Android Developer Verification, are the ways the corpos want remove any anonymity.

It also lets the Epstein class know who the minors are.
This is singularly the worst time such a change could be implemented, so much so that I am almost looking for malintent.

Can we have a rule that if you work for microslop then you are invalidated from working on any Linux project? Doesn’t that sound reasonable?
