lennart is actively working on a project to enforce age verification on every SystemD-based system even harder, not just through a silly little pull request, but through a corporate entity that verifies the age of the user "operating the system"

Dear DNC: save millions on bad consultants and drop these names. Every candidate listed is extremely pro-Israel, with deep AIPAC ties or records tied to Biden’s support for Netanyahu during Gaza. Centrists keep losing. 2 of the last 3 contests failed, and Biden barely won swing states. The base wants real action, not media-hyped platitudes. No surprise Bernie-style progressives are rising. Bernie was right all along!
