Oh hell nooo! 😭

#linux #ageverification

@itsfoss which distro?
@lazylaz @itsfoss everything with systemd apparently.
@cocaine_owlbear
They just added a possibility to implement it, if someone want to use it. They didn't implement age verification (afaik). It's not communicated very well.
@lazylaz @itsfoss

@nexape @lazylaz @itsfoss it's a joke.

But I don't see a huge ethical distance between implementation and making the tools for implementation, since you mentioned it.

Put it this way. If the birthDate field had been a politicalParty field, would you think there was a big difference between that and implementing OS political tracking?

Edit to Add: it's a step towards acquiesce, is my point. I don't like it, and splitting hairs doesn't make it sound better.

@itsfoss not Fedora... not Fedora...
@GumVonSchweetz @itsfoss Yea, finger cross, like that distro too.
@itsfoss And months ago people here joked that what are the distros going to do? Hmm!? Adding age verification!? Ahahahahhaaha *big laughter*
@itsfoss headpalm be like : nooo, I had to reinstall (again).
@itsfoss Just... Nope. The whole thing about OS age verification is simply preposterous, ludicrous and quite frankly unethical. How is it even enforceable? Madness! #Privacy #DigitalRights
@itsfoss Not a single distro added age verification ☝️
@itsfoss this will be me if mint adds this crap
