to be absolutely clear: if you come into my mentions complaining about the systemd birthdate field, i am going to tell you to fuck off.
i do not care about this. it does not interest me. spend the energy complaining to your local politician, i am not that person.
and, to be clear, i am 1 trillion % more disinterested *because* bryan lunduke was the person who broke the story.
stop doing what he wants you to do.
@zyd bryan lunduke is a fascist, so it seems appropriate to fashjacket him.
if you want to defend alt-right maga/linux chuds, do it elsewhere.
@zyd all i am saying is that you should keep the fact that lunduke is the one who broke the story in context.
and perhaps empathize with engineers who are being told to do things by their lawyers.
some hills aren't worth dying on, an optional field in a schema is certainly not a hill worth dying on.
@ariadne I'm really not going to empathize with Red Hat employees (among all the others who employ Linux kernel and systemd developers) People with lesser social status and money have made even more significant political stands against things in the past, but programmers can't say no to even minor moment of state compulsion
Talk about pathetic if not expected from em. Personally, it's not a hill I'm gonna die on. I'm still gonna regrettably use systemd until I move on to something else. The world doesn't have to have systemd, it's not a big deal at the end of the day. Anyway, not gonna bug your mentions anymore. Apologies for coming your way aggressively (realized I kinda did that looking back at my replies).
@zyd look i am just saying that harassing engineers is not going to fix the problem.
if you want political change, you need to convince your local politician
