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 after community outrage.
Unpaid compliance simp.

@doingfedtime Nice research, and wonderful implementation! Rather click-baity header image, but it works to do the job.

The article itself is very dry, concise, well sourced with first-party sources, and has just enough personality to keep it interesting without needed to fallback to emotional arguments and rhetoric; precisely how journalism is supposed to be. Reporting on the news and not your feelings / your employers feelings on the news.

Quick note though, you can add a tag in the header of blog posts to attribute back to your Mastodon user so reposts of your article will show attribution back to you.
