I find it rather unpleasant that most mainstream #Linux distros use SystemD, who have implemented a age entry for users due to this law. I live 5300 miles/8600 km away from California.

My next linux distro is one without #SystemD, no Linux #Mint, no #Ubuntu (not that was an option anyways), no #Debian and so on. Probably going for #Devuan.

@sarah @cmconseils may I remind you, that you already for about 12 years had fields for your real name, surname and exact location? Which were, same as this new DoB field, empty by default and 100% optional.

It's like you said "I feel unpleasant that this restaurant added green tea to their menu, even though I'll never order it, and nobody will force me to order it"

I'd like to know and understand more. While I am not as amnesiac as your post might suggest, I initially believed there was a principal difference between providing users the option to self-identify vs. implementing a feature as a stated response to Californian law.

Perhaps you can enlighten me how these things are the same?

And your strawperson example doesn't quite fit how I look at my own statements, I'd say it's more like:

"I find it unpleasant that the global franchise have mandated local restaurant should offer human clone meat here in Norway, as they say themselves; in preparation for a Californian law. In light of other franchises and the industry in general, as a resolute anti-human clone meat protestor I should look for alternative restaurants as hold it highly possible that they will at some point change their entire menu to human clone meat and I will not be able to eat here anymore."

@sarah your "clone meat" is prime level bullshit.

SystemD has userDB. I encourage you to go through it.

This db has multiple optional fields, that are empty by default, and nobody is forcing you to fill them. Such as name, surname, location. Systemd doesn't prevent you from using your OS if you don't give it your name or location. And now they added a new optional field - date of birth. Want to fill it? Do it. Don't want? Don't do it. Or lie about your DoB. Who cares? Not systemd.
