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.

I have two red lines.
If I had to give my photo ID to Mullvad to access a VPN, I would do it. I trust they wouldn’t retain it nor give it to Peter Thiel.
NO!
