The resistance against age verification is growing.

[lambalicious@aleph.land]

@joonq @_xchgd @itsfoss Yeah the current wording of the law in Colorado for example is *VERY* bad, as it indicates that the distro needs to enable age (identity) verification using a data or biometric profile as set, dynamically, by a "competent agency".

Such a federal agency could, for example, physically require upload of driver's license to validate age in the system.

@itsfoss make menuconfig

[ ] Include age verification API

sudo make install && sudo make modules_install

@itsfoss
"The resistance against age verification is growing."

The resistance against the oligarchy/authoritarian party is growing.
Should have never needed to grow since the tea party.

@itsfoss age verification in os is just stupid

[glitchghost@retro-gaiden.com]

@itsfoss good! Keep it going! No ID required on the web

[bweller@mstdn.social]

@itsfoss this doesnt actually do that

because it provides a level of compliance greater than zero by putting in a stub for an age compliance call to be made

this does the opposite of the claimed intent

who the fuck is astroturfing for meta with this shit

[bweller@mstdn.social]

@itsfoss how about NOT A SUPPORTED API whatsoever?

code that doesnt exist cant be run or filled in with something else

[bweller@mstdn.social]

@itsfoss the stupidification is real. the actual answer is DELETE IT. Don't support even faking compliance.

How often does "fake" compliance turn into real compliance, assholes?

I am being rude because you are promoting fascism.

[drewtowler@mas.to]

@_xchgd @itsfoss Ever heard of "slippery slope"?

[alex@social.alexhyett.com]

@itsfoss It is so sad that this needs to be a thing. I wonder how age verification will be implemented. Will it be as simple as just uninstalling a package or not installing it if you are using arch.

[distrowatch@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss This isn't a distro so much as just a script that changes the ID of the distro. Their GitHub link gives a 404 error.

Literally nothing to see here.

[sfetgfdsfwerwe@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss why is it even needed
like what's the point
