Next they will mandate a "race" field, and the same kind of imbecile will implement it.
yes, race, sex, ... because in some countries men can't access women stuff online and women can't access men stuff, there is some good pushback and this looser was shown the door in a few places like the freedesktop gitlab and Ubuntu repos. Such a fucking looser.
I'm so confused he adds a JSON field and corporate linux (who fund 95% of Linux development) need some sort of age auth mechanism for enterprise deployments. What do you guys want instead?
Like its not even enforceable, when the hardware attestation comes sure but before that why does anyone care (thats not going to stop you from changing a json field in systemd lmao)
Like its not even enforceable
Why bother then?
Be careful now! His coworkers will act most silently.
You know what, at this point they can totally fuck systemd and I won't care anymore.
Half of my machines were running sysvinit already, I'm freeing from systemd the other half, also exploring other Linux distros that took a stance against this and even BSD.
If everything fails, there's always Linux from scratch.
I love the level of disdain the linux community has for this kinda bootlicking.
You want the user to put their age somewhere?
Have a simple script that asks for a number and echos it into a file called "age". Done.
And they can only run the script if they want to.
$ cat /home/$USER/isUserUnderage.txt
no
$ ll /home/$USER/isUserUnderage.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root
Done. Now please let me through, mr. Caflifornia Immigration Officer
Then he said Arch Linux should implement it anyway because the law requires it. archinstall PR #4290
Well, it's not "the law", it's your local law. To most people on the planet, it doesn't apply any more than for example North Korea's laws. As far as I can find, Arch Linux is not owned by a foundation or similar legal entity (i.e. which could have been located in California), but the lead developer appears to live in Germany.
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.
