That Kramer (?) bass in your pic is fucking rad. Aluminum neck?

Oof. A massive spam attack just now on mstdn.social

A few thousand signups all accounts starting with "SAAR_"

I STRONGLY recommend admins to BLOCK this name from signing up 🚨

@jxvvt @itsfoss There seems to be more concern about this than what you're asserting is being done by 'Nazis' here.

Why should systemd have this field at all? Why is it necessary?

A systemd fork has set out as a fu*k you to age verification.

Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support

The project removes the birthDate field systemd added last week in response to age verification laws.

It's FOSS

The extent to which core linux projects are laying the groundwork for age verification is very concerning.

I understand why some believe they are compelled to do so, and why others feel that it may be better to implement the most minimal conforming implementation in the hopes of fending off something worse.

But the line must be drawn such that no threat can obligate an OS to collect/store personal information - without that freedom, we face an uphill fight to protect general purpose computing.
