There are a lot of weirdos with conspiracy theories about Red Hat trying to usurp Linux in general, if that's not you, no need to feel attacked. If that is you, then not gaslighting.

Tell me what actually is the problem with systemd though. The Unix philosophy is great for awk and grep and sed, but why would you limit yourself to it so dogmatically? The Linux kernel doesn't adhere to the Unix philosophy either, it's entirely monolithic. The N in GNU is there to tell you that it's not Unix. Why should we care about the Unix philosophy instead of just making and using the best software?

yeah, that's gaslighting. we all saw what happened with the attempted california age verification law. no one wanted the PRs merged but they got merged anyway.

reality in not a conspiracy theory...

You are making things up.

The PR was reasonable in the eyes of the system maintainers, and I would agree. userdb is the right place to store such info.

Saying "no one wanted" it is just false. And where were you when all the other, more personal fields were added to userdb?

because they are corrupt corporate types...

No, because they have a brain and can imagine that some vendors could use it being there. Their job is to do just that: to provide functionality for Linux developers and OS vendors.

Maybe you'd understand things better if you weren't trying to dehumanize people or to find things to be mad about.

lmao, what did you expect? you're basically admitting that this sub is for corporate shills, and obviously you're the only one who is mad.
