antiX gang 🇬🇷 says no to age verification
I don’t hate systemd, but age ID verification? Risks to my privacy grossly outweigh any benefit.

Absolutely. That’s not what happened though. It’s a birthdate field with no verification. The point is to show how stupid the laws are.

Don’t hate systemd for age verification
Hate systemd for its monolithic, anti-Unix design pattern

It’s not age verification though. It is exactly what linux should do under the hood to handle this. Just a field.

The issue is that Linux shouldn’t be making any attempts to handle this at all.
If the various governments are going to try and require this, they can make and maintain their own forks and accept all the responsibility and risk that entails. Or the businesses beholden to the laws can. We have no obligation to make this easier on them, and every reason to make it harder.
If various Linux (and Linux software/component) maintainers would hold the line, we’d be fine.
The godawful mess of what would come from all of these different groups scrambling to implement their own solutions would be the fucking point. The most effective way to manage upwards at people who don’t understand or want to listen is to make them feel pain for their shitty decisions.

There are legitimate reasons to criticise systemd and I’m completely certain that they will never be posted in this community. I swear if I have to read some stupid comment about the unix philosphy from someone who has no idea what systemd is, which parts are optional or what init looked like before this stupid twenty year long debate…

It’s not about “the unix philosophy”.
It’s about how one project is trying to do more, and more, and more, and more, and trying to entrench itself as deeply as possible so you can’t just use something else if you don’t like it.
(Oh, and this new political stuff? Now there’s a concrete reason to use something else.)
The problem with systemd isn’t technical, it’s political, IMO. Oh I mean sure there’s plenty of technical reasons to hate it too (binary logs anyone?), but that’s not the main problem.
systemd would actually be pretty nice, if it stuck to just being a service manager. Unfortunately, yeah.
Oh, and everyone ALWAYS goes “oh but the only other option is a hodgepodge of scripts! you don’t want a hodgepodge of scripts! bow down and accept systemd”. Ever seen, like, any of the other init systems that are out there? We’re running OpenRC right now and it’s pretty fantastic. (Granted, sysv scripts are still the lowest common denominator, but there are other options. OpenRC’s got declarative service files too, and they’re actually way nicer than systemd’s service files when you need to break out of the declarative format and do a little script stuff. systemd made us stuff everything into one line.)
And before you dismiss me as Just Some Oldhead™, we actually moved to Linux (from Mac) well AFTER systemd was already entrenched. So this isn’t a “you hate change” thing.

Why though, I sure love having a load of script files in a folder doing the boot things.
I can easily add another.
Why system not boot, help

Back in the 1980s the idea of being gay was NOT something that was openly accepted in America. You could be attacked, or worse, if the right crowd decided you needed to pay for your lifestyle.
Around this same time, Reagan had completely changed how prisons were funded. Before, it mostly came out of the pockets of the government. And after Reagan, we got what we have now. Prisons for profit.
Which meant conditions went way down, almost overnight, and prison populations started to boom. Because before, prisoners were a burden on tax dollars. If you arrested someone for jaywalking, you now had to convince a judge why a jaywalker belonged in prison.
But now, with megacorporations footing the bill, the expansions of the prison systems could explode. If you paid for prisons to be built and you made profit on each prisoner, you wanted them full.
Which meant…THE WAR ON DRUGS!
So, now you have massive populations of prisoners, all being held for crimes that shouldn’t carry a long sentence, and in many cases, never even happened.
What this meant is, these prisons became almost a community among the prisoners. And as such, you inevitably had gay prisoners.
So to signal to the other prisoners that you were gay, and wanted to get fucked in the ass, you’d wear your pants a little loose, and a little low. The look became known as “sagging”. And for about 10 years, nobody outside of prisons knew about it.
Then the 90s came, and these prisoners started getting released. And they continued sagging outside of prison, even though it no longer carried the same weight. It just became a fashion sense among urban communities without a trace of its former meaning.
So when I see this picture…it’s like…TOO on the nose. Thats not pants sagging, that’s pants dropping. The ironic thing is, if you told him that look signaled him as the bitch of the group, he’d probably be very angry. Especially since in the 90s being gay STILL wasn’t socially acceptable.

Naw, you bought into an urban myth. Why would prisoners put up with such an inconvenience just to signal homosexuality? Especially when you already had signals used outside of prison like having an earring in the right ear, that system of handkerchiefs they used in the '70s, and so forth. It would be like signaling your sexual preference by walking around with your shoelaces untied.
Children in poor families often inherit clothing from siblings when they grow out of them. That pair of pants was too small on your brother, but it’s still too big on you. What was originally an inconvenience becomes fashionable because everybody in your neighborhood was doing it. This is so common that it’s caught on and now people are doing it on purpose.
Something similar happened with soul food. Enslaved people were given food that used to be thrown away. They found a way to make it taste good, and it became a cultural marker.

Do you have a source on sagging pants as a gay signal?
Cause from what I read, it was simply prisons offering only one size of pants and not allowing belts.FalschgeldFurkan@lemmy.world 1 day ago
In this case they just wanna show off their expensive brand underwear, though I’m not sure how anyone can walk like that

It’s fascinating to me how social norms can be so radically warped from one society to another. From my “normal” of not wanting others to see what’s under my pants, to this, to having a huge disk pierced into your bottom lip like those African tribes… There’s just so much diversity among us. It’s pretty cool. And sometimes weird. 😆

I feel like this is one of those times where I tell my engineer to create a procedure for some random dumb thing management wants to implement so that we do it ahead of time before they come in and tell us how to do it
