The Engineer Who Tried to Put Age Verification Into Linux (www.sambent.com)

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. Unpaid compliance simp.

lol that is not the face or behavior of a man who should have push access.

Dylan this is the most memorable thing you'll do in your entire life. It's all downhill from here.

good thing Lennart used claude to review the commit, so this bullshit will be excluded from the inevitable AI-slop free seed lines of OSs

The day after the systemd PR was merged, he published a post on his personal blog defending Google's new friction-heavy Android sideloading controls as a "fair trade." His argument: power users absorb a one-time inconvenience while vulnerable people (scam victims, children) get protected. He used the phrase "you shouldn't have to choose between open and secure." Taylor's blog post

That'd be an argument if this wasn't just a crusade to stop you from owning your own computer in the first place.
