A small set of people are merging changes to various Linux components to make sure every application knows your birth date. This is being done rapidly by people with questionable justifications and being merged with no youth and few marginalized people involved. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/-/merge_requests/176#0b07c0cc4d49be119f65cdb2037440f56eed647a

In case anyone is unclear, since I hear he's also campaigning against this Linux age-gating trash: Bryan Lunduke is a fascist hatemonger. He represents the absolute worst in free software and I believe he should be ostracized from any and all parts of our community. He wants software freedom for himself and in the abstract but despises individuals expressing their freedom. He believes in a software freedom that is hollowed out and missing love.

RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@wwahammy/116264430375745593 @wwahammy the possibility of a free Internet is gone unless we start punishing these people.

@wwahammy why the fuck are people complying in advance? Where is the commitment to software freedom?
