I was off for a week and returned today to find almost 600 unread emails.

They keep nagging us about using Copilot and how it will make us "productive". So I asked it to flag the important emails I should respond to.

It flagged 6.

I marked everything else as read.

Proposed age verification interstitial dialog.

Nobody is asking you to break the law. Nobody is implying that you even hypothetically _might_ break the law. But we _are_ trying to make it clear that you can always not break the law in a way that clearly communicates how stupid the law is and how little interest you have in complying with the spirit of the law, or with anything more than the bare minimum that the letter of the law requires.

People have been half-assing compliance for as long as compliance has been a thing. Do some research, talk to a lawyer, and then build only the half of the ass necessary to keep lawsuits off your back.

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. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954 #linux
