God why is it so hard to keep the government out of your tech. System-d is introducing age verification, making a ton of Linux distros comply with authoritarian age verification laws.
But I hear you say, @fangsroyale that’s just to save the children yadayada.
No it is not, no government introducing these kind of draconian laws is caring about kids or many more pdf’s in the Epstein files would have been arrested.
While it seems harmless at first, this is just the first step to a future where even with Linux you’re gonna need to verify with your id card before using your computer. Linking everything you do or search to you, making you a honeypot target for hackers and meaning the end of anonymity or privacy.
I had just gotten used to using Fedora KDE, now im going to have to switch to a project that does have a spine. Thinking of using void Linux or Devuan.
You shouldn’t have to be a tech expert to have basic human privacy but it appears I have to.
what do you have against systemd?
Nothing, really. There are Linux people who say it's bad but I wouldn't know. I'm a pretty casual Linux user at the end of the day. And all the easy to use distros use systemd so that's what I get.
Can we please stop being mad at open source project for trying to protect themselves from the legal ramifications of shitty regulations, while still providing their products to the broadest audience possible? "XYZ project is adding age verification! They're clearly evil, and you should abandon them completely!" No they aren't! No you shouldn't! It's not their fault!
Oh my god`! An organization is adhering to the law to protect themselves from legal ramifications that, for some of them, could be their undoing. How tragic, and evil of them`!
Direct your anger appropriately, and start being mad at the lawmakers, and the corporations pushing them to create such awful legislation. Being mad at various projects for complying, helps no one! They're doing they're best to deal with the awful situation they've been presented with, and don't deserve your vitriol for it.
wait m hearing stuff abt systemd having age verification stuff being added to it is that like fr cuz i havent been updating my system lately cuz of this stuff
Nothing to see here.
Since SystemD has some age verification bullshit (Source), which distro do you prefer without one, from Arch perspective? Both distros below have its own easy installer btw.

Void Linux
