@rfc1036@hostux.social you lost me at calling those people nazis. Like literally i stopped reading your article after “campaign orchestrated by fascist elements” and “the free software Nazi bar crowd”. And I was one of the people acknowledging systemd was already taking over /etc/passwd before age verification law. The biggest problem of systemd has always been how it treats its users. You show nothing has changed.

@letoams@defcon.social Calling out literal fascists should be the less contentious part of my post. I strongly suspect that you are not aware of the context.

@letoams@defcon.social Same. I don't think people know what the word "fascist" means any more and just use it to mean "activists whose politics I don't like." People trolling a major software project for adding a DOB field in the current political climate aren't fascists or Nazis. And comparing the systemd DOB entry to the GECOS field is disingenuous trolling itself. I get rage posting when you're pissed off, but if these are genuine thoughts then @rfc1036@hostux.social isn't someone to take seriously.

@letoams@defcon.social @rfc1036@hostux.social this latest debacle has tipped me firmly into the "systemd is cancer" camp after years of being skeptical but neutral 👍
