I didn’t know this about bluesky D:, but it makes sense. Thanks for the heads up. The atproto ecosystem seems to have cool features for user empowerment and it seems to work well on the few occasions I’ve visited atproto sites. I hope they can find an ethical way to persevere, but I can’t imagine that being easy.

Venture capital funding. The plan is always to do a rug pull. Though if it properly freely licensed and the code is reasonable enough to be forked, it’s less worrying but still risky. It’s better to work with honest people.

A developer submitted a PR code change for systemd userdb.

My proposals (that’s really what PRs are) are to implement a solution that meets the regulatory requirements in several jurisdictions by providing a way to store a self-reported birthdate locally on the machine. These laws also require that this date is collected during account creation (hence why I made PRs against installers) and you can enter any value here, even January 1st, 1900. There is no proof required, no ID scanning, and no external tracking. Nor do I have any desire for that to ever change.

Apparently the developer is confirmed to be just a regular guy. He thinks it’d be worse if every desktop environment implements their own solution to comply with these laws. He’s against the various laws related to this incident.

As a fallout for submitting this pull request, he has been extensively harassed. His personal information being repeatedly posted online; his information used to sign up to a lot of sites, groups, churches, car dealerships, ordering food for him; threats of murder; regular textual harassment.

Try keyd or kmonad. I do all my key mapping on the keyboard itself, so I can’t vouch for either.
