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.

@ariadne Yeah. Not much signals bullshit more than Lunduke reporting on it.

@bryanredeagle i mean, there are valid concerns he raised in his reporting!

it is pretty fucked up that none of the major FOSS trade organizations (e.g. Linux Foundation) commented on these laws before they were passed!

that *is* a problem, but what people are doing is harassing engineers for doing what their lawyers tell them to do about this.

that is not energy i want in my mentions.
