@fosserytech first question is for you: why are you already considering your options like the gods have spoken and we have to comply with something that goes against one of our core values in the FOSS world: privacy?
second question is for all the foss projects who i feel should grow a spine and not hide behind blog and social media posts.. why are you in such a hurry to comply? deadline is in Jan 1st 2027! and projects are already considering how to implement what should be considered: spyware!

@levi I didn't say we have to comply, as I said, they can't enforce it on all the thousands of volunteer distro maintainers anyways. They just think they can, because they are a bunch of boomers who don't know how Linux and FOSS works. I mean you can of course do what every content creator says that you write a letter to authorities and express your disagreement, but they will push it through anyways because they want full control over us, want total surveillance. Delaying compliance won't help much here. The best thing we can do is to look for alternative ways to protect our privacy, like finding a distro which doesn't comply
