@itsfoss the less you know the better
@itsfoss how is systemd related to age verification?
@Parmon @itsfoss I think it added an attribute entry for it or something like that.
@Parmon @itsfoss there isn't actual age verification yet, but they merged a field to store birth date which can be queried by other components of the system

userdb: add birthDate field to JSON user records by dylanmtaylor · Pull Request #40954 · systemd/systemd

Stores the user's birth date for age verification, as required by recent laws in California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025), etc. The xdg-desktop-portal project is addi...

@fosserytech @itsfoss I guess I'll continue not caring about age verification while using a systemd-based Linux
@itsfoss ...or Alpine Linux
@itsfoss ...or Gentoo. On Gentoo you can choose whether to use systemd or openrc.

@itsfoss alright this is the second post in 24h I saw. Guys it's literally not age VERIFICATION, it is a field where you type in your birth and nobody's gonna verify it. How else is systemd supposed to comply with the law in those states. Yes the laws are shit but critize the politicians not systemd for trying it's best so linux is still available in those regions AND somewhat protecting the user's privacy (just tell them you were born 1/1/1900, that's what we did 10/20 years ago anyway)

@avercromxd putting a wrong date of birth is still compliance. Your answer should be: my age is not your business.

Ultimately, this is no different than muzzle mandates during the plandemic. I don't wear a mask not because I am exempt, but because I don't play your pathetic game.

@avercromxd @itsfoss they are dickheads. They are big tech's bitches and want to stand among them.
If you wanna turn up a belly, you can as well use windows
@itsfoss When I look at it, I'm thinking about how hard it was for Jake to ignore the camera shoved right into his face. And pretend he feels good and looks at the horizon somewhere. Awesome acting Jake!
@itsfoss or devuan 😌
@itsfoss We all know this is **wink wink nod nod** about surveillance and ultimately it will be about control! This is textbook step one of any global take-over!! Step 2 is take control of the financial system via a new digital system. Create the crisis then provide the solution but require more freedoms, greater controls and authroity, more surveillance. Ability to de-bank anybody who doesn't fall in line with the next set of government mandates! Hint the next big mandate is Sunday worship!!
