California, New York, Texas, Brazil, the UK, I think at least 2 more states as well…this is only the beginning. Everybody is jumping on the surveillance state/data broker hype train.

If only there was a way to stop that in democracies…

per shitty feature.

Wrong

May as well just use LibreWolf, or some other browser or fork.

No, it’s a security risk as I explained in the very comment you replied to.

Same it systemd and any distro that has it as default. May as well just spare yourself a lot of bother, and just use something that has already removed the malicious “features”.

If you want to use an understaffed niche distribution, go ahead. It’s a security risk to you and everybody else who gets affected by your insecure OS but you do you.

So I would too change distro to a non systemd one, although options might be quite limited.

Just use the regular, non-California edition of your regular distribution instead of jumping through hoops for a feature that doesn’t affect almost the entire planet anyway.

I will simply not store any data there. There is no need to resort to building my own distribution with a systemd fork, just as I don’t use this week´s Firefox fork because the shitty features of Firefox can be disabled with 1 click.

Using barely maintained forks because of optional features is a security risk.

I don’t like age verification either but that feature is optional and it’s up to the OS distributor to use it or not. Picking a distribution that doesn’t use it is easier than building your own distribution with a systemd fork.

meld is pretty cool, yes.
