Systemd’s change is inconsequential. If you really care then you should also fight to remove full name and address from user db.

Also there are still other jurisdictions that have these sorts of laws.

I am agnostic and even I still don’t agree with what you say here. Religion was likely used initially to form communities around. Heaven and hell are just ways to motivate people to participate in the moral code of the community.

There are likely some people that truly believe in God but I think many people probably just believe that religion gives them a common community to work towards.

Now, in recent times, I have no doubt that there are those in religion that use it for exploitation. But that is no reason to write an entire group off as bad. We would likely call that bigotry were we on the receiving end.

As someone who does manage more than 100 linux systems. I would choose systemd over anything else any fucking day.
