For those interested, the Systemd release that’s planned to include the controversial ‘birthDate’ field to user records, complying with age-verification laws, is v261 (see ‘milestone’ in the pull request). This release seems to be planned for May.
The current release, from some hours ago, is v260.1. I see that Ubuntu Noble (24.04) just updated to v255.
@fruitcantfly @Quibblekrust governments want to spy on linux machines because they love sending police to my door just because I use linux
Then why don’t they require age verification in this new law, only a method for the user to enter any date (without forcing them to enter one)?
