Systemd adds age verification, are you serious?

I hope OM doesn’t follow suit, despite avoiding politics. I am honestly curious to hear what the devs are going to do with that code.

OMLA has customised systemd, I can only pray that they remove this BS.

The silence is deafening.

Please OM developers, don’t block OM in Brazil.

After all this drama - I’m hoping they switch to OpenRC or another alternate init system. It would mean dropping Gnome, as Gnome has embedded itself deeply in SystemD.

As you also said - their silence is deafening. This is why I’m going to start testing alternate systems. I want to support those who are willing to stand up and fight for liberty.

Systemd has more problems beyond adding age verification:

SystemD Root Access Exploit Found, Devuan Team Calls SystemD “Unicorn Sh*t”

Absolutely - it always has. I just let entropy keep me from trying non SystemD distros.

But that’s obviously changed today, I downloaded Artix this morning.

Tried Artix and it is not nearly as polished as OM. I really hope you guys don’t bend a knee.

This is already being discussed in the another topic.

It’s better than saying they will do it. So, cope.

We can’t control what the Brazilian government and their ISP’s do when it comes to blocking access. There are no plans from OMA to block anything at this time.

Which ISO(s) did you test?

The weekly Plasma OpenRC. It kept telling me my drive needs an empty 8 MB partition at the beginning, and the layout needs to be set to GPT (which it is).

I setup the empty nonformatted partition but it still kept giving me that error message. Tried using the “replace” option in Calamares, selected my OMLx partition and that got to the bootloader install portion and errors out. Says it can’t install the bootloader.

When I told it to use the whole drive (external USB drive I have) it works fine, and boots fine.

How awesome would it be to see OpenMandriva on the list of those against this nonsense?

Most people hate this crap. Sure, OML can abandon all the goodwill they got from Lunduke if they like. I’m not the guy who is gonna have to cope, you are. Deal with it.

OMA will make whatever decisions benefit the users. Bullying them into a position by something as false as content creator influence is horribly disingenuous. It’s just as reprehensible as something the other side of your false dichotomy would do. The only person “… abandon(ing) all the goodwill…” in this scenario, is you “Community Helper.” If you can’t respect what the OMA is doing because you want them to do something else, you need to own that and stop taking it out on everyone else.

LOL. Me saying “no!” to collecting data at the behest of Meta and the state is reprehensible. Seems to me that you’re more of a propagandist than a lover of freedom.

More leftist bait-and-switch. I don’t think you should be helping anyone. You clearly are fake and cannot be honest.

Yeah. I must be a furry, right?

You folk waffling the line on this BS accusing others of being “dishonest” is pure fucking hubris. But whatever, do whatever, and I will too. You can call me all the names in the world for not liking what Cali and the like are doing, and you can fold like umbrellas all ya like, and then you can call me and others like me “reprehensible.” Zero, you are a wokie at heart.

Ad hominem is the sign of a weak mind with no valid argument. With some projection on top. If you can’t be a respectful then maybe you should go. We certainly aren’t forcing you to stay here, and I can’t recall what effort you have put in to help anyone here in quite sometime. I do hope you get help for your anger addiction.

Any legitimate member of media that wants official comments about things like this can go to the website and use our contact email.

You started it.

“Ad hominem is the sign of a weak mind with no valid argument.”

LOL.

You are a joke

Explaining behavior is not ad hominem. Perhaps if you knew how logical fallacies worked. Your mom should have taught you that. Saying behavior is “reprehensible” is not me saying you are. That’s a collectivist way of thinking. Similar to, if you call someone’s software project bad, that means the one that wrote it is also a bad person.

That is an example of clear ad hominem. I think you know all this though. All of this is to cut up snippets for the Fediverse or your failing BooTube channel.

Tell us all, do you speak only for yourself, or for the OMLA?
