I see so many people making a huge deal out of linux stuff adding support for the california age thing, and I'm like. you know basically every online service has been required to ask for your age since 1998? this is literally just "at account creation, the device owner can set an age field. to whatever they want. and then apps can query that instead of asking themselves."
you can set it to the unix epoch if you want
@rcombs yeah i really don't get it
@rcombs everyone knows young people will lie about their age. this enables them to lie about their age very easily. why the fuck would you put up a fuss about it

@whitequark @rcombs yeah, I've been lying about my age online since I was 24!

(in 1998. I was born in 1984)

@foone @whitequark @rcombs I’ve been born on 1901-1-1 for a long time. Unless it was 2-2-1922 for some stupid reason. It was a bad year to be born but I’m generally of age.
