So #systemd just added a birthday date field to help what I would call "collaborators" to comply to age verification (also known as widespread surveillance systems) laws showing up in some places from dark ages.

If you needed something to add up to the pile of "why so many people are concerned by that project", here's a more explicit one about the project... "values"

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
