related to AI slop and age verification updates on FOSS software

Look, i know we all hate whatever the fuck the systemd and linux (both kernel and distros) maintainers are doing with AI and the age verification laws but PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR GOD DO NOT DOWNGRADE YOUR DISTRO OR KERNEL. It opens your devices to critical exploits that have already been patched and when a 14 year-old scriptkiddie using metasploit can get in your computer with copy-paste commands then one of the biggest reasons for using FOSS software is lost.

If you really cant handle using a distro that has switched to allowing awful stuff to creep in their code in recent times, then switch to a different distro or start using BSD

@shroomie @renixed it’d be near impossible to switch from systemd on fedora, you need to use a distro where things are packaged with an alternate init system in mind

@shroomie @renixed but if you’re coming from something fairly simple to install and use like fedora it might not be very easy to get started, there’s a tui installer but still some things you’ll need to do yourself
