    Systemd merged age verification to comply with California state law.

    If you want to enter a birth date, I recommend "Friday, 13 December 1901 20:45:52".

    I like this for a few reasons:

    1. This is the earliest date possible for a 32 bit datetime integer in C.
    2. It's malicious compliance.
    3. It's obviously faked.

            @atoponce I like 1984 more. Bonus points if it doesn't check if 31st Feb is valid or not 😄

              @atoponce Being able to store the birthday of the user is useful metadata for the system to have in general. This is something that is needed to have regardless of any regulations. There are already other PII stored. Additionally there isn't any "Verification" mechanism in the PR you linked or proposed at all.

              Jesus Christ read before spreading further misinformation. You also clearly haven't read the California legislation you are so worried about.
