This change is not happening in isolation. There is currently a general trend towards de-anonymising users, and this DOB field is a step in that direction.
The only real question is, do I want my computer storing more, or less, personally identifying information. Given that I don’t trust ANY use which may be later enabled by this change, my answer is ‘less’.
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 1 week ago:
Sounds like we are violently in agreement then, that all of those fields should be removed.
Good outcome.

I get it, but I believe it to be a false equivalence. This change is not happening in isolation. There is currently a general trend towards de-anonymising users, and this DOB field is a step in that direction.

I think you might be replying to wrong conment

I do understand that, but I think you are applying a post hoc rationalisation to the change. For example, examining the change through the lens of intended use - you can’t - there is no such use of the field today - it’s tomorrow’s use that is potentially problematic. I don’t want to wait until a bad actor applies the field, I want to stop the field from existing.

Hard disagree. This represents the pot getting turned up on the frog.
I acknowledge you are factually correct. However, once this field exists, it enables later reference and/or mandatory dependencies.
There is no positive use case , but lots of possibly negative use cases. For that reason, it shouldn’t exist.

Way to shoot the messenger there. Or are you also taking that pitchfork after Jassy?

My man, why do you trust so easily? No source, no evidence, just empty words on a screen.
Be better.
- Comment on @jack_toohey on why the housing crisis is not caused by migration 6 months ago:
Wow what another hot take. Still garbage.
Australia literally closed borders for years due to COVID (and bugger all disease internally). Australia had the perfect opportunity to do exactly what you are saying… And did not.
Stop conflating immigration with the problem - housing speculation.
- Comment on @jack_toohey on why the housing crisis is not caused by migration 6 months ago:
Maybe spend less time confusing the issue, and take up a pitchfork against speculative home ownership.
- Comment on @jack_toohey on why the housing crisis is not caused by migration 6 months ago:
Semantics.Your point - that immigration excerbates existing underlying problems - specifically ignores the underlying problem, which in OPs post, describes that housing is a locked / controlled asset (due to it being a speculative asset) , which has itself created an artificial shortage.
Maybe spend less time railing against those pesky immigrants, and take up a pitchfork against speculative home ownership.
