Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field - Lemmy NZ

An init system does not need to know my personal details; it’s for starting programs in a specific order just fuck off with this shit. You don’t even have to capitulate to this stuff and these freaks are out here doing it preemptively like they expect a fucking pat on the head for being first in line to dive tongue first on to that boot.
Systemd isn’t an init system. Systemd-init is an init system and it is a part of the systemd suite.
Whatever the fuck it is it doesn’t need to know how old I am to do its job.
It doesn’t know how old are you, it just remembers a date you tell it. You can give your birthday, but you can choose any other day

This is step 1.

Final step: Scan your passport to verify and populate the date of birth field.
