Thats how it done!
Age verification doesn't "solve" the problem of pedophelia it doesnt "protect the children" much at all.
It is the wrong approach for such an issue.
The way of how any operating system shall now implement age checks makes no sense, as anyone can simply lie about their age and then be treated as an adult. Like what does this mandatory age verification do in an operating system? It makes no sense.

The Engineer Who Tried to Put Age Verification into Linux

Dylan, useful idiot with commit access, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu & Arch, got 2 Microslop employees to merge it, called it 'hilariously pointless' in the PR itself, then watched Lennart personally block the revert. Unpaid compliance simp.
I found the absolute worst, most morally bankrupt person in open source.
This “person” #dylantaylor is being paid to compromise open source projects by adding age verification functionality in many projects spanning the whole ecosystem. If we don’t name and shame this person right now, things are going to get a whole lot worse. We see you, Meta, funding attempts to undermine free and open source projects.
The extent to which core linux projects are laying the groundwork for age verification is very concerning.
I understand why some believe they are compelled to do so, and why others feel that it may be better to implement the most minimal conforming implementation in the hopes of fending off something worse.
But the line must be drawn such that no threat can obligate an OS to collect/store personal information - without that freedom, we face an uphill fight to protect general purpose computing.

Clintonites on the fediverse, trying to gaslight us all into getting in line for Pelosi’s nephew Gavin Newsom! 🤣
This person actually wants us to believe that CLINTON (the SoS that was more bloodthirsty than just about anyone) would have done any different! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does this person remember the “we came, we saw, he died” quote? Do they think we’re too young to remember it?
Don’t ever listen to these people. The long history of propaganda, gaslighting, and corruption is CRYSTAL clear.

So the answer to the big mystery Who Owns Bluesky? (https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116025246450023071) is finally out. Crypto VCs.
Now, we should be asking why did this company that prides itself on transparency and "decentralization" decide they needed to hide who owned the company?
