A small set of people are merging changes to various Linux components to make sure every application knows your birth date.
This is being done rapidly by people with questionable justifications and being merged with no youth and few marginalized people involved.
In case anyone is unclear, since I hear he's also campaigning against this Linux age-gating trash:
Bryan Lunduke is a fascist hatemonger. He represents the absolute worst in free software and I believe he should be ostracized from any and all parts of our community. He wants software freedom for himself and in the abstract but despises individuals expressing their freedom. He believes in a software freedom that is hollowed out and missing love.
@wwahammy unless people have ample proof on what he believes in I suggest that they moderate their tone. This looks like a hate campaign to me.
Some people only wanna implement/support laws they like. That's not how laws work.
The cyberspace is not independent.
@rriemann @wwahammy Here, have this reddit thread from 5 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/muc18q/whats_the_deal_with_bryan_lunduke/
FWIW, I'm finding it rather worrying that a person with your views is working with @EUCommission, and has an influence on its policies.
@agturcz @rriemann @wwahammy @EUCommission the E.U. Commission should be mindful of harboring fascist-friendly individuals. Code is political. There is no act that affects many others that is mot political.
Riemann must be considered as fascist friendly, as he defends openly fascist, openly homophobic, openly transphobic individuals such as Lunduke.
