Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support - Divisions by zero

They literally just added a field in the JSON schema to support a birth date field which is completely optional and has no relevance on the project. People are so dumb.

Well yeah, right now it is optional.

What about when the law passes that says it’s required on a federal level (yes I’m talking about USA). They added this one in pretty quick, do you think they would fold and be like “nah we stand for the users!”

Or do you think they will build on what is already being added here?

If a law passes and you’re running your IT infrastructure and not enforcing it then you have bigger problems.

The bigger problem being the government with guns that makes you follow their surveillance laws?

Also most people don’t run IT infrastructure. Most people will not be able to escape this when it turns in to full blown surveillance.
