They always were

I guess we didn’t see the benefit in that, huh?

I honestly would move my entire family to where we would be legal citizens in the EU, far away from the southern border if I thought that would be realistic.

Though, you have me on the jobs bit. I work remotely, maybe I could move into a more productive / open source friendly market

Take free movement off the table unless you can afford to fly. Can’t even afford to fly inside our own country let alone to our allies. Also you can have your free trade but you have to ship it too.

We’re not in Europe. We’re not European. We won’t even get to use most of the benefits as individuals in Europe would get to use.

Yep Clone Wars is legit and covers much of the big gaps between prequels

Rogue one is definitely Disney throwing the Dark Forces canon out. I’m sad to see Kyle Katarn get erased

He is some kind of dystopian

“Subsceyebe tudaaay”

We’re too shitty to put an end to shitty things?

You definitely can’t have your cake and eat it too. Linux for many has been about freedom and privacy. He made a direct contribution toward a system that would help take that away

https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/pull/4290 his motivation is crystal clear. Its compliance before it’s even required. Not just for Californians but for me in Canada, too. This is why he’s on the angry end of activism. He’s proactively helping Linux become a state surveillance machine.

You can make whatever further strawman arguments you’d like but I’m pretty sure a Spade’s a Spade. He may not be a “criminal” but you bet that everyone who resists this crap in the coming years will be if we keep this up. Resist.

Timing’s a bit shit to add a DoB field don’t you think. I also don’t think you can compare computing in a professional setting in the 1960s to modern day surveillance states. I can also say as a parent there’s only one thing protecting your kid from the internet and its not whatever poorly standardized notion of Linux parental controls that exist today. Only actual parenting can.

As for the developer’s publicly observable commits and the following publicly available criticism of it, you can call it painting a target but I think even that’s a bit of a stretch. What’s most outrageous about the institution that is the United States of America in 2026 is how all of it was even allowed to get so far. So yeah, expect some activism.

This is what “too old to ground” looks like.

A spade’s a spade. This is malicious compliance. The law might be the problem here but it’s on us to resist and try to make a change. Every last one of us. After all, the surveillance state workers in China and Russia are all just doing their jobs right?

Why the heck would we ever want a DoB field in systemd, optional or otherwise?

Signal no longer requires phone numbers. you no longer need to share your phone number to chat at least (sorry)

Glad I renewed my FSF membership. Rocking Guix with the herd init system

I’ve had polarized lenses reveal multi colored scan lines between black spaces that can be a tad disorienting

Polarized glasses and a low refresh rate is a recipe for a good beach vomiting

They’re frigging cuboids from No Man’s Sky 🤣
