Cybrkyd's post looks beyond Apple and asks whether age verification is starting to move into the operating system layer. It points to a merged systemd change and Flatpak discussions as signs that Linux components are beginning to account for age checks, potentially in response to regulatory pressure. The article is framed as analysis and open questions, especially around how age could be verified on self administered systems where the user is also root.

Age verification on Systemd and Flatpak

How will this work, I wonder

@technotenshi The main question shouldn't be "how age could be verified on self administered systems where the user is also root.", but "is age verification needed at the first place?" where the answer should be a big NO with bold and italic.
