Danielle ForéStarted in on our Account portal implementation. At the moment we fall back to the GTK portal. Still have to build out the UI to select data to share and then actually send the data
At the moment the portal provides one function for requesting personally identifying information: your username, real name, and avatar.
There’s a proposal for a new separate function that does not contain any personal information for the new age declaration: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/1922/files
So with our own portal implementation we’ll be able to ship this as soon as we have an agreed upon standard and make sure we comply with the law before Jan 1 2027
Once things are settled and agreed upon, I’ll make a blog post about how exactly this will work in elementary OS. I know a lot of people are really unsettled or afraid so it’s important to communicate about what is happening and how it all works.
My personal opinion is that I don’t love the idea of age ranking. I’ve avoided it in AppCenter because I think content warnings are a better way to give individuals choice. But it seems legislatively that age ranking is what is demanded so here we are
kechpaja@danirabbit I have to admit, I really wish you were putting up more of a fight.
