That’s system76, not systemd.
Yeah oops, I’m just dumb.
Meanwhile systemd already has the commits ready it seems, no questions asked.
Because it’s a trivial addition that was requested by a large user of systemd.
I don’t like these laws either, but they do exist. Go after the politicians who’re making them. Don’t go after the, volunteer, developers for not making a political stand on your behalf.
It’s an optional field, unverified, unenforced and in the worst case, this is open source software so you can simply revert that PR and build it yourself without the extra field or if you feel super strongly about it you can fork the project.
Heaping ire on the development team is the part that I’m taking issue with.

When did i go after the developers? I never attacked them personally whatsoever, i just voiced a concern. At the end of the day they can do what they want with the project. I don’t even use systemd nor xdg-desktop-portal myself, so this doesn’t affect me (atleast not yet).
