    I’m blaming the PEOPLE who say “no biggie, just a number” who can’t seem to get it through their thick, dumb, argumentative skulls that these kind of things ALWAYS AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION lead to loss of privacy and more authoritarian laws.

    There’s a big picture. Stop arguing the tiny points with me and SEE IT.

      i agree, that’s why i think talking about systemd here (and arguing wether they want to implement this or not) is a massive distraction

      anyways i’m gonna practice what i preach and stop talking about systemd now, enough bytes of online traffic have been spent on this

      You’re shooting the messenger. Meta and others are lobbying governments hard for this. They’re the ones causing you to lose your privacy. Not the volunteers that maintain systemd.

        Then those volunteers can refuse. But they won’t, because they agree with this direction.

        It’s plain as day. You’ll agree with me in a few years.
