Ageless Linux — Software for Humans of Indeterminate Age

@nixCraft Here's the #Debian #SystemDCensorD proposal, using D-Bus - "On installation, the user will be required to enter their location. ... This location and user data will be managed by a new daemon, systemd-censord, ... For example, ... a unit for China will implement keyword scans ... debian will need to switch to being a binary-only distribution ... with ... controls to prevent any non-signed software from being installed , written, or compiled, ..."

On the need for a censorship API for legal compliance reasons in some countries and U.S. states

@boud @nixCraft @debian Is this a goddamn joke?!

@drwho @nixCraft

What I quoted from is a satirical response (not by me - I can't claim the credit) to what was originally a serious proposal to handle a real-world dystopian problem. The satirical proposal doesn't have a [[WP:SNOW]]ball's chance in hell of being accepted. You'll have to follow the thread to see if *some* sort of opt-in proposal gets accepted, or is seen as too dangerous. Maybe adding "ageless-linux" as an opt-in Debian package could be doable.

@debian

@boud @nixCraft @debian It took me a while to figure that out, because it's written so much like the non-fake proposals I couldn't tell. Which is frightening in and of itself.
