Age verification clearly doesn't belong into #systemd. We should have never merged this. Instead this should be incrementally added to the kernel itself. I'm doing my part:

[PATCH] vfs: require verified birth date for file creation - Christian Brauner

Be very mindful about the content you consume online.

You might think you are above its negative influence on your mood and thoughts, but you aren't. Nobody is.

The content you consume influences the way you think over time. Even if you are on a platform to fight the opposition, what the algorithm is feeding you there will have an influence on yourself over time.

Be careful what you feed to your brain.

That's it for me for #RustInParis! There were great talks, great people and nice discussions; it ends a bit early, but let's meet again next year!
Of course, it's not always rosy: there might confilcts between contributors, or external brigading. This needs to be managed properly.
#RustInParis
After Code Maintenance, comes Community Maintenance. The project should make it easy for new contributors, and enjoyable for contributors and maintainers to contribute and review.
#RustInParis
In rustc, Oli had that as well, with many features being blocked on a complex refactor. Another example is the infamous Rust soundness bug that needs a completely new Trait solver. The project for this Next Trait solver exists, but does not necessarily have funding. (Edit: see reply, this is incorrect).
Oli says, this is not something we can rely on volunteers for that: they'll just end up burning-out, like others before them.
#RustInParis
For feature work, it's "easy" to get contracted for that. Similarly, in big companies, working for months on a feature is something the company can afford. But it adds to the review load, and it might get blocked on complex refactors.
#RustInParis
After a survey among all 54 teams, Oli found that everyone is busy keeping the lights one, but no one has time to tackle the Complex problems #RustInParis

"Maintenance is not just code. We are a community of contributors, not a code repository." Oli says.

Oli @oli closes the day with "Maintaining Rust".
