    As a non-American, I am not doing this. Even if it’s just one extra click, I’m not going out of my way to do anything just because a handful of US States decided to pass some idiotic law. If I’m forced to spend any effort at all on this, it’ll be to disable it. If some websites require me to have it enabled to function, I will just stop using them. Enough is enough with this shit.

    Linux grew too fast. We have all these windows kiddies defending this overreach.

    Man don’t make me learn something else to start avoiding systemd. Its just so much more convenient than the alternatives.

      OpenRC is really not that bad.

        Its not, I was using it when I ran Gentoo, but its substantially more present if that makes sense. When I’m using systemd I don’t have to think about it when I’m configuring my system in normal circumstances but with openrc it’s always something that had to be accounted for.

      That’s exactly why we adhere to Unix philosophy.

      If software does too much it’s harder to replace.

    I do wonder what happens with system accounts and servers. But I know it will be a patchwork of laws so the answer will change depending on the patch of ground it is on, and solutions and none of it will work correctly.

    It is now legally mandated - by shit lords and trolls of any age - to set their age to 67, 69, even 420.

        I think there was a comment once from Steam about how some rediculously high nimber of users were “born” on Jan 1st.

    I can only imagine that somewhere, there is an incredibly anti-systemd person screaming I told you! I told ALL OF YOU!!!

    Either that or they gave up on that a while back and already switched to BSD.
