Time to move to Guix !
Give them an inch, and they will take a mile. Fuck this PR.
As usual, poettering is a piece of crap.
What is the most effective way to gather all of my personal stuff within Linux and it be as plug and play with every distro as possible?
Like if I wanted to infinitely distro hop to avoid this fucking Trainwreck right here, how would I easily and effectively ensure I can?
Can I take a set of folders?
Is there a backup format of some kind?
Is there a way to do this with installed programs in a way that can be dropped in?

That's it! >:-( I'm going back to init. /s
I hope the alt inits or even the hardware itself aren't targeted next.
QUESTION: if I run my own system with local accounts, full root access, and no remote accounts... why should I care about whether systemd "MAY BE ABLE" to store someone's date of birth?
Sounds to me like, for all I care, they could add fields for ethnicity, religion, d size, political orientation, colonic maps, or whatever else they want.
If it's to build systems shared with underage family members, schools, or other public system... I personally DGAF.
Because the loss of control is never done in one move. It degrades, slowly. It is a slippery slope.
Today its this, next year something else that is slightly more controversial but, same as this, will likely be adopted.
5 years down the line law comes in with KYC - Lennert, that shitweasel, implements it, same as this. It blocks your services without activation. What then? Will you be more upset then?
What about a few years after that when you browse some website that is against the "administration" and you get flagged, next morning ICE drags you out of bed, kills your dog and you dissappear?
Will you give a shit then?
Maybe this is all exaggerated, but so was saying that ICE would off people in the streets a few years ago, yet its reality, today. The world isn't what it used to be, you got to fight, constantly, otherwise your freedoms get eroded.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
