Not that I’ve even checked yet, but maybe it’s time i go back to #LinuxMint mainly because i believe #Ubuntu is planning to add the age verification & this just reminded me.

Ubuntu Desktop vulnerable to root privilege escalation via systemd exploit

The vulnerability arises from the interaction between snap-confine, which manages secure application environments, and systemd-tmpfiles, responsible for removing temporary files.

@v3ritas You should switch to LMDE then. :)
I do think I’m overdue to get back to Mint šŸ˜‰

@v3ritas
I have dropped several dumb services this year that wanted ā€œage verificationā€ through some official ID.

None of their business, tbh.

Classic example: had an XBox Gaming account for 21 years, paid from the same account for 21 years, then they ask me to prove I’m over 16. Cancelled. šŸ˜‚

Don’t you love when they just don’t think things through… or don’t even care to lol
