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...

@Ahjolinna @vinibarbosabr I haven't read the law, but it can be implemented at system level for the particular distros that want to sell it to the particular jurisdictions that require it. Why on Earth would you want to enforce it on the whole world? Just reeks of statism or government take over.

didnt the California law say that it needs to be in system lvl? I think the question is now should the implementation be part of existing system or a whole new system instead. if its part of existing system it should be have an optional build flag for distros who dont need/want it

systemd has merged a commit by dylanmtaylor to collect and store users's birth dates in compliance with Brazil and California age verification laws -- which has been a controversial topic in Linux communities the same dev (dylanmtaylor) tried to push a similar change to archinstall (Arch Linux), which has, so far, been denied -- but the discussion was reopened after being closed for a while there are also reports of commentators having their posts removed or even being banned from the r/linux subreddit for posting opposing views to age verification laws and compliance how can the subreddit of the leading OPEN-source project be so CLOSED for different perspectives? makes you wonder... reddit is a terrible place for open debates, i'm more than convinced at this point

SystemD has added birth date storage in order to comply with Brazil and California Age Verification laws. Let that sink in. A Linux init system now handles Age Verification. github.com/systemd/system…

@Ahjolinna @vinibarbosabr The ones selling the distros can implement the age verification, but it is absurd to force it on the system level. Terrible decision by the systemd group.

@vinibarbosabr Sadly if you want to sell Linux products you have to follow the law. Hobby/community distros can still ignore this as its hard to enforce something like this but corpo distros have to do this like it or not law is the law

"Bitcoin Core changed the "economic code" by keeping the blocksize small, which lead to high fees, slow confirmations and unreliable transactions. Increasing the blocksize limit is not a change, it keeps things the same" This makes no sense at all. It basically says: "Core made changes by keeping things the same".

.@knutsvanholm in March 2026: "Who initiated change? Was it the BIP-110 people, or was that an immune reaction to Core making changes that were not wanted in the first place." @rogerkver in 2017 & 2018: Bitcoin Core changed the "economic code" by keeping the blocksize small, which lead to high fees, slow confirmations and unreliable transactions. Increasing the blocksize limit is not a change, it keeps things the same The BTC version of Bitcoin has changed into something that is not what was defined by Satoshi. Bitcoin Cash most closely resembles the version of Bitcoin from 2011 Sources: youtu.be/pVFA4mO2AbQ?si… & youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Zk9i… As is explained in the book "The Blocksize War", people have different ideas and visions for Bitcoin. There is nothing to prevent those visions from changing or appearing to change. There is nothing to ensure people have the same visions. People have different opinions on issues such as "full blocks" or how to deter "spam". In contrast, it is the technical rules on block validity that are hard to "change"

He is right. My node is an economic node because I validate the BTC I receive from another node. If I spin up and run another 10000 nodes only one of them is an economic node. The most important economic nodes are the ones on exchanges and custodial wallets because they validate the Bitcoin they receive from miners. Miners need to produce valid blocks that these economic nodes accept or else they won't be able to exchange their hard earn Bitcoin to pay for their mining expenses.

@Conserberal True. If we had to communicate with Aliens it would have to be with math, or music which is an expression of math itself.

Math isn’t accepted because we were “taught it as kids.” Rather, it’s accepted because it can be proven and verified. If God’s existence were “the most well-proven fact ever,” you should be able to present a proof with that same level of clarity and agreement. The fact that people have argued about it for thousands of years suggests otherwise.
Luke Dashjr@LukeDashjr

@D_Preacher_1 Do people believe in math because they found evidence, or because they were taught to believe as children? Yes, it's the same. God's existence is the most well-proven fact ever.

@knutsvanholm Everyone single person is running their virtual node in trust mode except Bitcoiners who actually run their hardware node and verify.

Anti-BIP 110 people are a bunch of losers whose livings depend on spamming Bitcoin blockchain.

Giacomo is trying to play the part of the toxic maxi while running a Libre Relay node which directly feeds Chun's pool a steady supply of spam slop for that swine to mine. Look up "controlled opposition" in the dictionary and you will find a picture of Giacomo Zucco.

Moderators of the r/Linux subreddit are now censoring posts which talk about Age Verification. Not only are posts being removed, but I’ve heard from multiple Reddit users who have been banned from r/Linux for expressing opposition to Age Verification.

In 1895, a French social psychologist named Gustave Le Bon published a book so dangerous that it became the private playbook of dictators for the next century. Hitler quoted it. Mussolini kept it by his bedside. Edward Bernays used it to build modern propaganda. The book's name? "The Crowd." Its core claim: The moment people form a group, they become stupid. Not slightly dumber. Fundamentally, structurally incapable of rational thought. And the tactics he described for controlling them still work on you right now. 🧵 (thread)

Ask yourself who decides what is Bitcoin? - A small number of people in spite of opposition of many others. - 90% of community agreeing with a change because Bitcoin is consensus of the least common denominator of things we agree with.

@zndtoshi It is money but it needs fixing, because the idiots at Core decided to FAFO with it. That is why BIP110 is needed. What more is there to discuss?

@BlueDavid I agree it's money. But bip110 supporters disagree and say we need to change it to make it money.

@LensScientific It is biological. We appeal to symmetry because we are organic beings. All the chemistry in healthy bodies is symmetric.

Why do humans find symmetry so appealing? Is it biological, evolutionary, or a product of our collective consciousness?
