It's an optional field in the userdb JSON object. It's not a policy engine, not an API for apps. We just define the field, so that it's standardized iff people want to store the date there, but it's entirely optional.Lie by omission here. Clearly the reason for this being added is AV. Imagine it was a "sexualOrientation or "ethnicBackground" field that just got added because $government suddenly made that sort of thing a hot topic... "oh it's just part of the JSON schema, it's not up to us to decide how people use those fields! Fuck off. systemd should have no knowledge of any of that. It's irrelevant to the operation of the system.Playing into the hands of fascists and he knows it and doesn't want it discussed or highlighted.

I also hate project owners and maintainers that close down discussion like this full-stop. It's not like it's taking place in your front room, Lennart. If people want to discuss it and decide whether they agree or not, let them.

Actually exhausted by the age verification shit. I’m done with fighting it I think. Honestly don’t see an end to it without a serious social and political shift/revolution. The kind where the people who architected and implemented it end up in prison for the rest of their lives.

One of my highlights from the Artemis II launch yesterday was on Sky News when the reporter interviewed a guy after the launch. The reporter asked “did you find it moving?” - the guy misheard and replied “it did appear to be moving, yes”

feel like this is the ham radio/hacker equivalent of the "crazy guy pointing at pinboard with web of string-connected notes" memeupshot: I think I know which pins are VBUS/GND/USBD+/USBD- now.

FTR I'm thinking on the pogo pin connector here, top left is GND, two underneath marked 2 & 3 are data, rightmost is VBUS.

I love this teal-blue colour Motorola are using for soldermask these days, it's a vibe.

Really surprised they aren't doing any validation of the charger. The battery is marked IMPRES 2 but they don't seem to give a shit and are happy with 5V. I noticed the official charger (PMPN4500A) seems to just have a USB C input on it so I kinda guessed it'd charge from USB.

I just need to figure out what the fucking screws are now. They aren't M2.5 or M3. Both of those fit but bind up after a few turns. Feels like a weird pitch? UNC? Erfff.
