SystemD Root Access Exploit Found, Devuan Team Calls SystemD "Unicorn Sh*t" (youtube.com)
'With surveillance enablement removed'.
A dev who did submitted changes to add surveillance enablement 'to follow the letter of the law' also submitted similar code changes to Ubuntu and Arch. Dylan Taylor. Conspiracy theories alleged that he might be the government, but it could have been the government posting that to try to discredit him. Also threats, doxxing of really personal information. Extreme emotional response.
If SystemD just 'folded to age attestation', is it a lesson that many companies can't resist, for one reason or another, but if they want to not ruin the world even further, they can just comply completely and destroy their software (or hardware in other cases) and just build a different thing which does the same but where it isn't possible for it to be corrupted?
