I’ll have to give Devuan a look! I’m planning on a server style project next time, so I shouldn’t be crushed too hard by any peculiarities of the init system(s) I try
This is such a weird stance given the actual change that was made. No actual age verification, no external communication of any kind. All that got added is a number field. The ability to store a number labeled “age” for user accounts. That’s it.
There already is a field for first name and last name. You can leave them blank as well (most probably do). If any software requires a number to be there, just enter 99 or whatever. Unless this gets severely worse this is such a nothing-burger.
I’m not happy about any step into that direction either, but pick your battles (or hill I guess). This certainly is a weird one.
i came here to say this but with WAAAY MORE words – well done!
i think the fact that this community is so averse to admitting that this is a trend and the second such example of the foss community pre-complying w the epstein class’ expectations speaks to an political ideology to refuses to accept that fascism is here.
no mention of guix on a systemd less distro list is crazy. not that i use guix, and im fine with systemd as a nixos user, but it feels like guix is the anti nixos. the richard stallman version of nixos with all the pros and cons that come with that
i’m going to switch to devuan since systemd already pre-complied wo anyone commanding them to.

i chose it because there’s not much to look at – it’s just ordinary/vanilla debian without systemd.

Devuan, AntiX, and MX Linux all seem worth a look for people wanting to avoid systemd. More are listed here:

https://systemdfree.com/#distros
(FWIW, I think systemd’s age data collection is optional, at least for now. It’s not clear which Linux distros will implement/adopt it by default.)

I run mine with the
nonguixrepository so I don’t think Stallman would approve of how I lead my life (with all the pros and cons that come with that).
