FOSS community - you are really acting like a bunch of shitty bratty children over this whole systemd userdb birth date thing.
Grow the fuck up asshats. It is such an embarrassment to be associated with people who resort to "tactics" such as these.

I Spoke To The Dev Behind The Systemd Birth Date Change
Today I spoke with the developer who introduced the PR to Systemd which added in a birth date field to userdb which spawned a massive drama and much worse as he describes in what has happened to him following that.

Heavy drama in the open-source world of...
...Office Document Software.
Nextcloud, originally a fork of ownCloud, has launched Euro-Office, a fork of OnlyOffice (pissing off OnlyOffice). Collabora is weighing in and issuing comments against both OnlyOffice and Euro-Office while, itself, forking Collabora Office Desktop from the Document Foundation's LibreOffice. Document Foundation has now resumed LibreOffice Online which competes against Euro-Office and OnlyOffice.
(I think I've got all that right 😅 Correct me if I haven't! 😂)
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I unironically love this!!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Document software may appear boring on its face, but Microsoft Office is a big reason why folks still stay with Microsoft OS and don't (can't...) move to Linux. MS Office 365 is often used as a bridge to allow folks to move to Linux while still using Microsoft products in the browser but that solution still keeps them tied to closed source solutions.
Development of Free and Open Sourced Software (FOSS) office products, both desktop apps and online web apps, is a core and key element to allowing FOSS solutions to thrive - both for individuals and organizations.
This level of drama and fighting is indicative of a lot of effort and attention being thrown into this arena. I'm confident over time it'll settle and different projects will merge back together or at the very least borrow and build upon each's efforts.

Systemd didn't introduce "age verification", so they don't have anything to remove now that a couple of US states have put an exemption for FOSS in their AV laws.
Spreading disinformation isn't okay just because you hate Systemd and/or Poettering. Do better.

Linux and open source getting age checking exemptions could be problematic
You've seen the news about various US states (and even a US-wide bill!) for operating systems to implement age checking - but exemptions could cause headaches.
