Not to sound alarmist, but consider a future where you *must* use #Windows 12 because switching to #Linux is "illegal" thanks to Age Verification nonsense.

It's clear the Corpos are literally trying to remove the ability for anyone to use compute without their gatekeeping. The time to fight that is now.

@operationpuppet Haven't read the actual wording of the law, but in theory is it good enough to require users be 18 to install Linux (Yes/No button in the installer), and then the API is either browser ID (showing it's running on Linux) or the fact that software is written for Linux (and thus will only be executed by 18+ users)?
I still think the age verification is stupid, so this line of thought is mostly geared towards malicious compliance...

Requiring (or claiming to require) that users be 18 to install Linux is _much worse_ than what the law requires.

@mattdm @operationpuppet I agree entirely.
