One thing to keep in mind: these commits have names on them.

When anyone asks why queer kids lost user freedom on Linux, we can point at the exact people who ripped it away from them.

#TheyHaveNames

@wwahammy this seems aggressively fucked up.

@linux_mclinuxface Please speak up in any way you can. This must be removed from systemd and the process stopped.

Here's a MR to FreeDesktop by the same individual with unclear motivations. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/-/merge_requests/176#note_3386750

user: Add BirthDate with polkit-gated GetBirthDate and SetBirthDate methods (!176) · Merge requests · accountsservice / accountsservice · GitLab

Summary Add a BirthDate field to the user account interface. For non-homed users, the value is stored...

@wwahammy @linux_mclinuxface The author of systemd just posted a 'durr-hurr, wait till you see what's in GECOS' message to fedi in grand microsoftian style.

There will be no help from the authors and maintainers.

The boot is clean.

@reijomancer @linux_mclinuxface there is no option but to keep fighting.
@wwahammy Pathetic little collaborator boy eagar to comply in advance.
@wwahammy I just blocked his account on GitHub so I'll get a warning when viewing any repo that has commits authored by him.
@dalias @wwahammy In fact it's dylanmtaylor for birthday stuff in: systemd, archinstall (refused for now btw), accountsservice

One person.
@dalias I'd say he's a collaborator if he complies ever.
also, wtf, they're vibe-coding it now?!
@wwahammy they should put code in, that would put a default age of 42 when the birth date is not given.
Like: birthday="installation date" - "42 years"
