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

Taking a few seconds to entertain myself by reporting emails from campus police as phishing. The university does phishing tests, encouraging everyone to examine where links lead before clicking them, and telling us to never trust a link we don't recognize. University cops, I think, are using some kind of external email distribution service, which has a link to acknowledge receipt of the police email. The email is within hours of announcements about a campus situation (vague "individual in custody" thing).

I suppose it's possible IT is capitalizing on the situation to really seriously test our phishing savvy. I kind of hope not. I hope it's the cops using an unverified email distribution and tracking service that is almost certainly stealing some data from every click, and that I'm calling attention to how shitty this is by reporting all these emails as phishing.

@dalias If there is an audit trail, it would not shock me if it is being watched with the same intelligence and diligence as the leadership who would impose a requirement to use #GenAI. (That is, none.)

If the boss is dumb enough to make that rule, they are dumb enough to miss a subordinate sidestepping the rule.
