the pressure from social media worked. In systemd, age verification has finally been reverted and removed for good. Linux is always for privacy conscious users, it isn't just another Microslop SlopOS https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41179 thanks @reddy_1975 for the heads up!

EDIT: they rejected the PR. So keep fight on! systemd folks are cowards and enabling this mess.

@nixCraft Let's hear about distros without systemd. If the maintainer isn't willing to listen to users or have a conversation about this, then maybe if debian and it's derivatives like ubuntu start losing a noticeable number of users then maybe systemd will listen to the distros???

@old_angry_queer @nixCraft If you go to the search in Distrowatch and filter for 'Not-systemd' you may be shocked how many existing projects there are who have already dumped Poetterings cancer.

@goss ye, a pretty good number of those look like "single maintainer linux" though, which.. i learned my lesson on that with Crunchbang (RIP, still miss you). So the best option there still looks like Gentoo, and while i'm fine just circling back around to the first distro i installed 22 years ago, i'm not convinced that's going to be a viable option for the majority of users.
