    people don't realize this, but this is how they infect a good product and build surveillance network. today it is age verification for OS, tomorrow they will come with sex verification to target LGBQT+ groups or country verification to target minorities or immgirations, etc.

    Meta, the evil corp who is behind this, wants everything trackable, starting with your age &d id verification, KYC, & whatnot. it is my computer, & i am not going to be tracked. it is the same reason you use an adblocker

    Wasn't the report that published on this revealed to be LLM garbage?

    I traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and 45 states of lobbying records to figure out who's behind the age verification bills

      @nixCraft maybe I’m misunderstanding but where’s the age verification? It looks like it’s just an optional field that they don’t do anything with?

        the pressure from social media worked. In systemd, age verification has finally been reverted and removed for good. Linux is always for privacy conscious users, it isn't just another Microslop SlopOS https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41179 thanks @reddy_1975 for the heads up!

        @nixCraft @reddy_1975 any os with age verification is getting uninstalled and replaced by something that won’t sell me out to a gaggle of jackboot techbros with mommy issues from lack of love

          @lionel @nixCraft @reddy_1975 wait.. It's indeed not merged. So it's not reverted!

          The pr was about reverting the changes.

            @nixCraft @reddy_1975 Imagine inventing something as terrible as systemd and then somehow finding ways to make it even worse.

                @nixCraft @reddy_1975 I'm tired of this trend to pressure FOSS projects, how about we revert the laws. You're still a slave of the state, might as well stay as one if your only hope is to talk nonsense online.

                @gjerma @nixCraft @reddy_1975 What laws? How about we don’t let the laws of North Korea or Iran decide what our operating systems should look like?

                    @nixCraft @reddy_1975 Never liked systemd mess. runit is a better, cleaner, lighter alternative.

                      @nixCraft @reddy_1975 Don't obey in advance. With this attitude, Poettering is making himself irrelevant.
