@cas@social.treehouse.systems > what would you have them do? Would you rather every desktop environment had its own way to store this data?? I'd rather they, and everyone, waits longer system76 is trying to get US politicians to open exceptions for foss, laws in multiple states are contradictory, and in brasil there's lots of people trying to change that law as they see how bad it is codifying an api for it now feels so premature and somewhat dangerous, bc what if what they implement is then not allowed in some other state or country?

@navi@social.vlhl.dev From a political perspective the government is like thick oil or tar. You can push it with great effort (mass action) but the most important part is that you stand firm to stem the flow. The capitalists control the tables legs. To comply with bad tendencies will make it easier later to implement worse laws since that is its historically materialist direction at the moment. I suggest not fighting over this but partner with the eff or fsf for politics, and just do implementation @cas@social.treehouse.systems

@navi@social.vlhl.dev Encoding a date of birth is so generic, and will be at the base of literally anything that tries to do any type of age related stuff that it's quite the stretch to call it "premature"... What you do with that encoded date of birth and how you expose that, sure. But storing it? Come now. @cas@social.treehouse.systems
