Topic: Game changer
Today I read about a thing that made me feel fear.
As you probably know, there is some pressure (even laws in place) for age verification, in some cases down to the OS level.
But today, I learned that a piece of software present in almost all Linux systems, Systemd, already implemented the collection of users age, because some laws demand to have it in the near future. And what makes me fear is basically that Systemd is not optional for any of the big Linux distributions. I would say this is quiet relevant.
Even after some concerns from the community (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954) this is going forward. And it makes me think that, even in the case of opensource (like systemd) freedom/privacy could be underprotected. I terms of governance would NOT say the Systemd/Linux OS is like Windows or Mac, a gap is still there. but the opinion of the community is not that strong anymore.
