#FLOSS developers adding age verification controls nobody asked for:

«I'm just doing my job»

Because that worked SO‌ WELL in the past as an excuse.

The more time passes, the more I regret never writing my series of articles on #FLOSS myths since at least 2016. (Yes, that's 10 years ago, and that's *at the minimum*.)

One of the articles of the series would have been about the “corporatization” of FLOSS (i.e. corporations taking over key elements of the FLOSS‌ ecosystem, and how that would have affected the future of FLOSS).

The main reason why I regret not dedicating time to that write-up is that I actually love saying «I was right».

But yeah, condensed in a single toot because I always delay writing important stuff when it's time (i.e. my predictions BEFORE it happens).

FWIW, that's literally how they're justifying themselves.
