And thankfully, it’s more than just a Linux distro without age verification.
Meanwhile the enlightened will protest it by… Not filling in the age field accurately.
Inb4 it becomes “upload your passport to boot”
ID verification brought to you by Wegets Hakktalot. Where information security didn’t make it to the budget.
I would like a package you could easily install on any distro that patches age verification out of the system. I’m not switching distros (yet) for this, as much as I also am not on board with the concept of OS-level compliance with mass control and censorship.
I’m sure someone will come up with that. Also, I think it’s important that we make clear to the devs of our favourite distros that we’re going to ditch their distros if they don’t take a stance.
A lot of distros (most I’ve used at least) require user creation before installing. The age verification should be there as my understanding of the text. You can’t install the packages before, so this will be effective only for existing installs, unless you patch the install disk prior.
“Ageless Linux Emerges” sounds all cosmic-horror for some reason?

Damn, thank you. Reminded it’s time to re-read!
Ia! Ia! Torvalds fhtagn!
I would honestly love to see a non-Euclidean desktop.
They should just give the middle finger and not implement any age verification. Let those stupid US states suck it.
I mean, it will work out the same as browser DRM. It just wont work and wont allow you to connect. I for one can’t wait to not be able to access facebook on os level.
Ah, but what else won’t you be able to access?
My parents love or respect.
Don’t worry, they don’t love or respect me either. I even waited to ask them until they had a free moment and were relaxed, but they just kept screaming from the moment I woke them up.
They are real dicks that way. Sorry.

Iptables was already there. Or the hosts file if you’re feeling lazy
But that isn’t malicious complaince :(
