    I’ll agree with you.

    Like is someone stealing a ps5 to hawk it for food or pay rent? Sometimes but definitely not always.

    It’s kind of pathetic how everyone is acting like this is a simple issue that you fix basic social safety nets and there won’t be crime. Just as pathetic as right wing takes on immigration or basically everything.







  • Yes but I’ll try to expand on that for anyone not in the know.

    In general there’s been a wealth of info about users but you didn’t necessarily need info in there. Like GECOS where you can store the full name, phone numbers, etc.

    These are simply fields made available but not required. Systemd is making it available but your OS itself doesn’t need to use it at all.

    Now I personally very much disagree with all this age verification BS but systemd isn’t really doing anything extreme here nor unprecedented.
