  After 90 days we *may* not see Session on our app stores again :( Indeed from outside STF seem like a pretty strong foundation with a plan lied out and everything, but the reality says a different story.. Session is on life support @session is asking for a community investment of 1million dollars, which i would say is alot considering the short period of time they have left, but not alot considering the size of operations that they have > the STF has received approximately $65,000 in d...

  @benjamineskola No, they don't! there's plenty of things to complain about and people have made whole websites on the matter. what I was getting at is Age verification and the fact that some contributors to systemd are in favor of that, mainly because they want Linux to be compliant, so corporations keep using it.. doesn't that serve corporate interest and go against FOSS principles? Also, I don't see any Age verification mechanisms discussed on passwd, which makes me think we...

  Not just Ageless Linux.. shoutout to @artixlinux for sticking to the free & open source software principles, I'm making the switch very very soon (to #artix :artix: ) we're living in a time where our current actions dictate what things would be like for the future generations, if you think a local checkbox (are you above 18?) is harmless, you should know that it's not about the checkbox! things become much worse when you comply, next thing: VPNs, next: take a...

  Honestly.. at first i was surprised (and disappointed) at some major Linux distributions not having a clear answer to age verification laws after weeks of their announcement, but then lots of them started discussing them. really! discussing them! what's there to be discussed? "maybe we can implement age checks in a privacy respecting manner? 👉👈" And it's just so happens this serves the corporation that you work for best interests! Big tech "Foss devs...

  Did you know that #systemd already has `emailAddress`, `realName`, and `location` fields? but they where never meant for home users, only enterprise workflows, so adding `birthDate field` isn't really much work, and you could see why systemd doesn't consider that bloat And this is exactly why systemd is bloated because it doesn't consider lots of things to be bloat in the first place It's never a good idea to rely on software that serves corporations best intere...

  Dylan "I read the law and I'm here to implement it" M. Tylor gets up in the morning and decides to write age verification code that he himself calls "hilariously pointless and ineffective", within a week strikes 4 repos of his list, and i bet the Linux Kernel is going to be next (I'm joking... mostly) It's worth noting that the first people who approved the PR on systemd repo are big tech employees - Mircoslop and Redhat/IBM (why I'm i not surprised!!), someo...

  @PeterSoukup@mastodon.social @artixlinux@fosstodon.org Because this law is not so apparently abusive as the previous laws, many projects are willing to accept it, because "it's not a big deal" but this just the first cut of the thousands of cuts to come, in order to kill #privacy If I say, would you rather have me punch you in the face or spit on you shoes? the last one doesn't seem so bad compared to the first, but i would say they're equally bad, the government only show...
