    WTF. What's the best option for an actual free operating system these days? I should be able to tell each app any birthday I want.

      XDG is also doing it. Which Linux distro doesn't follow XDG spec?

        Plenty, if you remove all the software that follows XDG :)

      It won't because none of the alternative inits are better

      I don’t know why this would kill systemd

      Most distos have already made the choice to accept systemd knowing it'd be filled with feature creep and bloat, this is basically just getting more of what they asked for. Nearly everyone is going to have to find someplace to implement this bullshit age verification nonsense though. I don't expect saner minds to prevail anytime soon.

    A reminder that there are still valid escape options for us systemd haters. Probably the best if you're not a heavy desktop environment user is Alpine. I ran Devuan for a couple years with only minor issues. And there's always Gentoo. I find it very comforting that I can control the init system just by editing shell scripts.
