@pid_eins@mastodon.social most people arent entering any sort of information to be picked up in the GECOS field.
It's a serious concern, i understand theres alot of hurt going around, and that this cant be stopped within the bounds of linux when the state employs violence, but individuals are just that, not linux bound, and can pass into political life.. And ig people probably do think that centralised structures like systemd would have the most sway. And are probably hoping for a plan from such a centraliser.

@vepr_jako_pepr@mastodon.social yeah, precisely, but why would you fill the birth date field then if you don't fill the gecos field either? You know, the PR we merged only adds a field where the birthday *could* be stored, if you supply it. But that's entirely optional, and you have to go out of your way to provide it actually...
