a single contributor with no stated organizational backing could submit compliance infrastructure for surveillance law directly into the software that boots your computer, get it merged by two Microsoft employees, and have the creator of systemd personally block the removal.

The Engineer Who Tried to Put Age Verification Into Linux

Dylan, useful idiot with commit access, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu & Arch, got 2 Microslop employees to merge it, called it 'hilariously pointless' in the PR itself, then watched Lennart personally block the revert. Unpaid compliance simp.

@leyrer I have ran Gentoo for years, I can start doing that again. How many others can't?

I'm so fucking sick and tired of this bullshit.

@Laird_Dave @leyrer at some point in time they will ship some kind of secure/measured boot on all machines, which will only boot into state sanctioned signed images that provide these features. Fuck those fuckers.

@dickenhobelix @leyrer and the so-called "normal" people will gladly clap their hands, not even understanding what they're doing to all of humanity.

Maybe I should stop doing disaster response and let nature sort it out.

@Laird_Dave well, it's probably useful to stay in Desaster Recovery and keep your stone cutting and woodworking skills up to date, cause getting rid of this IT shit altogether seems more and more appropriate...

@dickenhobelix @leyrer Unser Fachzug wird auch nach dem Butlerschen Jihad noch vollständig arbeitsfähig sein. Zur Not kann ich den FüLa per Pferdegespann zur Einsatzstelle bringen lassen.

@Laird_Dave im Einheitenerfassungsbogen: Ausstattung nach StAN: nein, Zusatzausstattung: Brieftauben, Steinwerkzeug für gemeißelte Depeschen 😅
