I don’t get the purpose of this post. The title and what you listed are not the same thing.
You listed a mix of apps and wine versions, all those usually assume you already have wine to satisfy dependencies, that’s not how to install wine.
You install wine (staging for gaming) from your distro repositories.
Thanks :)
Yeah it’s disheartening to see how many in this thread are in favor of violence, especially in a case like this where there are much better answers to what’s happening.
I’m not US and my country doesn’t have such a law, can’t fight foreign laws.
I’m not fighting the dev either and I don’t approve harassment, I’m just switching to non-systemd distro, that’s the best message anyone can send against this.
I can burn down your house (maybe with your dog/cat/family inside) and you won’t wish ill on me?
I would call the police and have you arrested for sure, I would never think you should die for it.
If you ever wished ill upon another human being
You should have stopped here, because no reason is ever a good reason for wishing ill upon another human being, no matter the argument.
People harassing and doxxing are rotten inside, no matter the reason.
for complying with a relatively inconsequential law
No, just no, it’s not inconsequential and it’s not the entire world, as usual US thinks they’re the only country in the world, other countries exist that don’t have such a law.
Just stop using systemd, it’s even more effective than acting like a coward keyboard warrior.
Age verification will definitely give Meta more data, even without a government ID, because noone today can precisely profile everyone into age for target ads or other purposes.
What it also does is shifting responsibility for what Meta does on their platforms to someone else, so they can avoid fines.
Your entire premise is wrong, because these laws have nothing to do with protecting citizens, they’re made to protect Meta from accountability and fines.
Reasoning around a false premise doesn’t make any sense, unless you’re trying to gaslight people.
FOSS isn’t as independent as we believe it is
Some parts are indeed sponsored by corporations, that’s not a bad thing per se because financial support is important.
Problems arise when corporations push changes solely for their own interest instead of the benefit of the community, this PR seems to be that case.
Wouldn’t the same logic apply to systemd that’s controlled by RedHat?
They merged the PR regardless of many contributors being against it, silenced discussions about it and immediately closed another PR submitted for reverting the change.
That’s corporate behavior, not community.
That’s the main reason that made me distrust them and jump ship, way more than the field itself.
