void

@_winter_wonders Everything is optional until it isn't. Let's drop the bs, we all know where this is going.

this outrage seems quite stupid and misguided systemd is not enforcing age verification, they are adding a possible optional and unverified way for distros to signal user age to apps this is a legal requirement in some jurisdictions now all distros whether they're running systemd or not will have to choose whether they're going to do some kind of bare minimum compliance with these laws or to simply explicitly prohibit their use in affected jurisdictions people seem to think systemd is giving ur ssn to palantir or something when it's pretty fucking obvious that the thing they're building in is the only privacy preserving way to comply with this garbage if you, as a distro or whatever. want to not commit crimes in these jurisdictions you will have to use shit like this, Devuan isn't going to be a legal alternative, it's just going to be crimes, or alternatively, if Linux as a whole took a hard step against this shit u would need to swap to windows or apple where they actually would just give ur ssn to palantir it's an awful situation for privacy, but the people complaining about systemd's implementation seem to be under the impression that laws just disappear if you decide to ignore them fight for a world where this isn't required, but in the mean time, this is your best bet. and like birthday? the userdb already contains far more sensitive information than this. this is a fuckin stupid hill to die on imo

@miasma49 @GENIC0N I think most people (at least the ones I know or have heard of) use ChatGPT specifically daily. And in the western countries, I think most people who use AI will share their secrets and inner thoughts with the AI every day.

@the_void2012 @GENIC0N Nahh most people literaly dont know/use AI

feels like global IQ dropped 5-10 points since 2020

@angeloinchina God forbid people change their minds in life.

Are you paying attention ? 👇

Meta is behind the age verification laws, it seems

@GuntherEagleman "secret"

I’ll let you in on a little secret… Our government is corrupt.

@LoudOutside "officially" As if there was some global committee that does these rankings.

Do you all agree?

@JOKAQARMY1 The conspiracy theorists have been on a crazy win streak lately. Wonder if that'll continue or not with this one in place.

Jiang Xueqin went to Yale is he a Skull and Bones member ☠️

@TheChiefNerd Millions of people short in labor, but yet people are having trouble finding jobs. Standard corporal hypocrisy.

JASON: “Elon seems to think we're gonna have one robot for every human.” JENSEN HUANG: “I'm hoping more … We're millions of people short in labor today. We're actually really desperately in need of robotics. All of these companies could grow more if they had more labor.”

@WindowsLatest "WE'RE SO BACK" Standard Microsoft fanboy delusion

WE'RE SO BACK! Windows is so back. Today, Microsoft officially confirmed it's making Windows 11 a better operating system. This is a great news for consumers, competition, and of course Microsoft. In 2026, Microsoft will focus on its plans to "raise the bar on Windows 11 quality." It'll focus on performance, reliability and well-crafted experiences. These areas have meaningful impact on how you experience Windows: how fast it starts and responds, how stable it is under real workloads, and how consistent and thoughtful the experience feels - Microsoft "The team and I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better," said Windows boss Pavan Davuluri, who deeply cares about your feedback. Moreover, Microsoft is scaling back Copilot in Windows 11 after feedback to focus on: 1. Faster and more responsive Windows experiences, including reductions in apps like File Explorer 2. Improved memory efficiency, lowering the baseline memory footprint for Windows, freeing up more capacity for the apps you run. 3. More consistent performance, even under load, so apps stay responsive throughout the day.

Dylan, useful idiot with commit access, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu & Arch, got 2 Microslop employees to merge it, called it 'hilariously pointless' in the PR itself, then watched Lennart personally block the revert after community outrage. Unpaid compliance simp. Link below...

They are building the AI surveillance state government. You know, straight out of dystopia, and some of you are celebrating it? We've lost our minds.

Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed to release the Epstein files. Trump told him three times: "I'm coming at you like you've never seen in your life." This video was deleted from twitter yesterday, you know what to do ‼️‼️

@de3dsoul "slop" >shows some of the best games ever developed Guess it's called slop by the likes of you because it isn't filled with fast paced brainrot mechanics and microtransactions like most modern games. Or shall I say "live services" instead...

@theojaffee Probably people in the western countries are the first one to get replaced. Indians, Pakistanis, etc, are cheap labor, so they're less scared since there's a higher chance they get hired.

Negative sentiment toward AI is a luxury belief

@Rocketstaronx @LeanPicachu @TheGameVerse Yes, because we all know they will earn billions from milking it for the next 10 - 15 years.

@LeanPicachu @TheGameVerse Really?

🚨 Take-Two CEO hints at GTA 6 cost, says in-game ads would be unfair “It’s hard for me to imagine including interstitial advertising in a game that players pay $70–$80 for, it would seem unfair.” (Via ScreenRant)

@TheGameVerse Now watch Ubisoft and others put out a $90 game, with at least 3 different DLCs, microtransactions and "special collector" editions.

@zdr_0x @Pirat_Nation Nice bait attempt. :)

@Pirat_Nation I made a better one with AI. AI makes everything better. Hail, AI! 🫡

Steam just announced their 2026 Spring Sale artwork was made by human artists No AI.
