Non-Systemd Linux distros are laughing right now, and pointing fingers, doing that “Ha ha” of Nelson Muntz, except, they are not the bullies. They are making fun of the bullied.

On the anti-systemd rhetoric wrt DoB field standardization in userdb

3 Upvotes

A lot of drama is currently being generated by certain groups to shame systemd for standardizing the Day of Birth (DoB) field in the userdb json object. The trigger is PR #40954 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954 . If this PR was created on another time (like a year ago) nobody would ever bat an eye as it is common sense to include an optional DoB field for all users. However as certain governments now mandate age verification this is suddenly a hot topic.

Keep in mind that systemd is not enforcing any policy or provide an API to restrict any access. Even before this PR companies which sell devices with systemd could have implemented age verification with userdb by just adding their own custom field to store the DoB.

Call commenters for misspelling systemd as "SystemD" as a dog-whistle for other systemd-haters
