Then why did they lock the fucking thread as controversial if it was such an innocent change?
It’s paving the wave to implement a Californian law that can very easily end up meaning ID verification for everything.
They could just not have done this at zero cost but decide to go to multiple projects, at this specific time which obviously isn’t coincidental, and actively work to start implementing this on Linux. I guess “Contributed to systemd” on their CV was more valuable than resisting the USA taking control of the whole internet and ending all sense of privacy.











The no privacy part is probably going to be true.
The robot stuff is pure sci-fi to me though. Even if robots become so diverse and capable so quickly to be able to actually replace workers in most fields, the way capitalism works isn’t compatible with that. If most of the workforce is now machines, capitalists have no workers to steal surplus value from, and also have very small demand for their products because all of the working class will be impoverished.
So even if we get to that point technologically, replacing workers would either happen after capitalism has ended, or it wouldn’t happen by design.
