Age verification clearly doesn't belong into #systemd. We should have never merged this. Instead this should be incrementally added to the kernel itself. I'm doing my part:

[PATCH] vfs: require verified birth date for file creation - Christian Brauner

@brauner no, this is clearly the wrong approach. Bootloaders like #GRUB run before the kernel, so clearly they should be responsible. I suggest adding DNA-based verification. Simply send a saliva sample to your nearest lab when booting the computer. This simple process only takes 60-90 business days, so the usability impact would be minimal.

@samuel @brauner well a more practical implementation of this would be breathalyzer lock outs like they have on cars. You have to blow under a set blood alcohol content before you can unlock/boot your computer (possibly a separate additional limit for posting on the internet)

As someone who has possibly posted a hot take or seven while under the influence before, this might actually be a good thing.
