Guess he didn’t rape enough children then

Why did you have to hurt me like this

Good for you then :)

Wait, you mean client-side anticheat is not some holy unbreakable barrier? I am shocked (sarcasm)

Nah. Any use is “fair use”, thanks

it’s one vote per dollar instead of one vote per person.

Damn that is well-said

Wholeheartedly agree. We may not get to sit in the shadow of trees we plant, but it won’t stop us from planting them

My bad, I have misread you. Feels good to see I am not alone in this, let the time be kind to you

Then I’ve misread you, as “you have a decent shot to do it if you try hard enough”. World won’t change much because of me, but I will make sure to be a drop of change for the better

Have enough unreliable cogs in the machine and it won’t do what you want. Yes, this is again a plan for long after we die, but doing something good is still worth it

We can also somewhat break the undesired behaviour of the machine (be unreliable cogs). So yeah, a little freedom we have still

Shure, changing the world will be hard as fuck and it could be years until you see any positive change

No. For people without needed capability (read: 99.(9) of all people on the planet) changing the world means “you will most likely die trying, and it might amount to something, but may as well not”. And building said capability is again close to a full lifetime of work, if not more

Choose random. Get something working. Then reflect on how much you do/don’t like it

All that happened was systemd management going “this politically motivated change is ok, that politically motivated change is not ok”. No amount of “dis is opshionall” is going to change them being idiots at best and agents of ill will at worst

Nah. What is funny is a pull-request explicitly stating compliance with age verification laws getting merged and then revert refused with a “don’t bring this discussion here” argument. This is where Lennart has lost me, with that bullshit of an excuse

Oh no, “child protection” was never about protecting children? I am shocked, shocked

So Lennart didn’t have a problem with systemd being prepared to comply with some local legislation , then refused the revert because “don’t bring this conversation here”. I am calling bullshit

Being half a world away from Americas is pretty easy, don’t ya think?

To be fair, I am bit split on this. On one hand, name and shame is an effective strategy and should be used. On the other hand, “put age verification into Linux” is a hilarious stretch. And yes, it feels strange that I have yet to see any kind of response from other systemd maintainers and managers - after all, the man authored a pull-request, not merged into into upstream. I have not been looking for that kind of response myself though, which also serves your point: putting all the blame and anger on this one man (I purposefully omit name) is too much

I care. One thing is “you know, fields with this name have been around since before you were born”, another thing is “some idiots passed the law half the globe away, now we are preparing your system to comply. Someone has to ©”. The field is not the danger, the thinking, attitude and act is

Edit: some local law, for fuck’s sake
