The Linux age verification drama just took a turn that proves truth really is stranger than fiction.

Meet Liberated systemd a brand-new fork of the Linux systemd project created by a single developer with one massive goal: strip out all age verification and surveillance code (specifically the highly controversial birthDate field) while keeping everything else perfectly in sync.

But then, the unthinkable happened. Dylan Taylor the exact developer who wrote and submitted the original age verification code showed up in the fork's issue tracker. Was it a fight? A takedown attempt? 

No... he showed up to help them remove his own code. He even wrote a cleaner, more efficient patch to defeat his own work!

In this video, we explore one of the wildest  moments in recent Linux history
