The Engineer Who Tried to Put Age Verification Into Linux - Lemmy

Jesus fucking Christ guys. Regardless of your thoughts on age verification, hunting down someone just for complying with the (currently) rather inoffensive law is nuts.

Posting his face here is absolutely going to get him doxxed, and going to cause someone to actually hunt him down and hurt him.

Focus your anger on the people who actually passed and push for this law. Not the person who drew the short straw and had to implement it.

EDIT: Yeah, this whole discussion is toxic now. Suggesting that someone shouldn’t be lynched for making a change in a piece of software is equivalent to me agreeing with that change. I don’t like the push for age verification. It gives me a lot of stress. But I don’t think some random software developer should be hurt for it.

Reading the room wrong when writing software is not worth a life.

Complying with this shit is nuts.
Provided compliance is nuts, this man is a nutcase for complying. Sounds all good, but I dont believe being a nutcase warrants doxxing, verbal harassment, verbal threatening, and everything else that we’re seeing here.
So what you are saying is is that you are a collaborator, too? What’s your real name, friend?
