«lambalicious»Me, in 2021: "piracy of open source makes no sense"
Me, in 2026: "They did it. They fucking did it. Look at what they fucking did. With various states pushing age verification and biometric identification laws on developers, and distro developers complying far too easily, now it has actually become *necessary* to pirate Open Source software"
Two *very* notable examples of developers who are *already* adding fascism to FOSS: #systemd (as expected) and XDG / #freedesktop .

Artix isn't going to comply with age-gating. - Lemmy.World
Per the very first reply on their thread discussing it in their forums, which I linked directly to for the post title: > We’ll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user. However, what’s gonna happen should the attempts to age-gate the XDG portal screw over alt-init distros like Artix too? My guess is maybe they start blocking regions which force age gating like Arch Linux 32 is doing.
