We’re not legally required to have age verification here so if they try that shit here we’re just Gina nice to Arch/arch like :/

sudo usermod —birthday “1970-01-01”Dang, am I about to become an Arch user?
I already got BSD on a spare laptop. Granted it was freeBSD and I think I might switch to OpenBSD since the latter’s foundation is Canadian and not US based.
But yeah if they go through with this I will be uninstalling it off my gaming machine and switching to Arch 100%. I really appreciated that line about it “not being April fools” when it was introduced in their github thread.
Theres also artix which is basically arch without systemd.
Oh wait, there aren’t people chiming in to call me and others a fucking idiot and a stupid man child and all the other talking points for suggesting that the systemd merge was going to escalate?
Fascinating. I wonder where they all went. Maybe they’re on the BSD forums now, but somehow I doubt it.
Oh no more people are talking about how to implement the least possible invasive version of age verification! Now they’re referencing standards for it!
Yeah, some of us really don’t want our home PCs directly contributing to the surveillance state, and we sure as hell don’t appreciate pre-compliance to the demands of increasingly fascistic states.
Welp… There goes Fedora!..
As long as I have root, I’m as old as I wanna be.
Not if age verification is done by a digital signature from the smart card in your government issued ID.
sudo rm /bin/evil-age-verification-binaryOr if it’s done through systemd: git clone, remove the offending code, and compile.
I already skipped all these tedious steps: Void Linux with runit .
Nothing is sacred to these fucks
Is there a swastika in that image?
I didn’t see it until you pointed it out. Imo looks unintentional, just an unfortunate result of the circuit traces being arranged as they are.
Yeah, tbh a swastica is an amazing symbol, such a shame nazis made it their emblem.
I have a feeling that a lot of those who replied have not really read the article, that contains some nuances. I do not like the idea of age verification, but the project leader’s proposal is apparently not even official (and more like a hypothetical in a discussion thread on their forums.
Please read more than headlines, lol.
But it’s boring and won’t give you the feelingn of being right.
Why do some people just have the worst fucking ideas…and why is “some” starting to feel like “most”
Because media propaganda makes it seem as if the majority have certain views. People don’t like to be on the outside so if the media can trick people into conforming then they will try that.
happy fediverse birthday!
Oh, thanks! I hadn’t noticed actually!
How bout
Because they are corporate-backed I can understand why Fedora would need to think about this, but I would never use them again. The surveillance state will stay the fuck out of my devices. The discussion also seems to be centered on GNOME?
Linux Distros Could Tell Fedora To Eat Shit.
