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.

    1. He didn’t draw any straw. Nobody asked him to work on such an implementation (or maybe Meta did?).
    2. In fact, he appeared out of the blue to do this implementation. This was his very first pull request on the Systemd git.
    3. From the very start he received a huge amount of critical comments from the community on GitHub, while he was working on this. He neglected their criticism and plowed on.

    So he already had a warning that the majority of the community didn’t agree on what he was doing. Nobody asked him to. He chose to continue – he could have imagined the consequences.

    And the whole context on why and why now he did this is fishy.
