But why is Mr #Poettering of #SystemD just "accepting" age attestation
Surely it has nothing to do with him quitting #Microsoft / microslop to create a NEW company named "Amutable" that seeks to "handle attestations (including age)" for GNU/Linux systems?
Scumbag isn't even hiding it

I am not harassing anyone? I have stated an opinion and even acknowledged good work at Amutable - these are people I have met in person.
Legal compliance work however is not neutral and may be unethical.
Go follow orders, I guess.

Interesting path on build system in #amutable, with #tine.
ANY amount of time in this space, you will build the same thing. 😅 I been doing this, but using #nix, a sprinkle of #sysext, #confext, #btrfs, and some custom tools. Oh and #ubuntu #autoinstall cause why not. 😆
