Lennart Poettering says that the field where you input birthdate: "can only be set by administrators, not by users themselves"

-it's the same record that already holds metadata like realName, emailAddress, and location:

He has clarified that this change is "in the userdb JSON object. It's not a policy engine, not an API for apps. We just define the field, so that it's standardized iff people want to store the date there, but it's entirely optional and if some government uses it who are we to judge. "

In simple words, this is something that adds a new, optional field that can then be used by projects like xdg-desktop-portal to build age verification compliance on top of,

>without systemd itself doing anything with the data or making it mandatory to provide.

"It enforces zero policy," Poettering said. "It leaves that up for other parts of the system."

systemd is one of those things
discovering someone's opinion on systemd allows you to easily categorize them in the same way that covid restrictions and he bomb's his own people did

Just sed and comment out the call and inject the boolean response to move forward. Even if you dont you can still loopback mount and isolate that JSON object in userdb. Its just a berkeleyDB standalone filehash. You can even chattr the file and enable a security bit that even root cant even write to the file.
