Lee DunaAge checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field
underiskAn 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.

Enlighten us then. Why would an operating system management tool need to know the age of its user?
KairuByteIt doesn’t. It just needs some name to display on the welcome screen and doesn’t know what else to call it.
Because back in the 60s and 70s, people wanted to know whose print jobs were running and where the printed documents should be delivered.
So over 40 years before systemd was initially released?
I’m hearing a whole lot of mental gymnastics from both of y’all to explain away the “okay” fields while demonizing the (optional) “evil” fields.
What are you getting at me for? You asked a question and I answered.
I don’t care about any new gecos fields because they’re optional.
Why does it need a field for location and email?
