Dylan, useful idiot with commit access, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu & Arch, got 2 Microslop employees to merge it, called it 'hilariously pointless' in the PR itself, then watched Lennart personally block the revert. Unpaid compliance simp.
Those are also entirely optional and not having them filled in doesn’t cause other software to stop doing what the user wants.

And then you can input a random date from before 1940 and forget about it…
