I’d scale my outrage with the severity of the problem. That’s not to say that it’s a good move, and the law itself must be overturned for everyone’s sake, but regarding systemd, we’re at a weird forking point between “slippery slope fallacy” and the type of gradual accumulation of minor evils that sum up to a great one.
If the slope actually starts slipping and entry becomes mandatory, I’ll take the L and join the push for alternative init systems. Right now, I just have to ration my energy.
No no you see when this does get implemented and it will. Years later when they ask for a cryptographic signature verifying your age on Linux. Fucking Haiku will be the next big thing alongside Plan 9 Front. Its just how the cookie crumbles.
It doesn’t get more hipster than the open source equivalent for the original alternative OS for PowerPC Macs (BeOS). The BeOS guys might still have been kicking around if Steve Jobs didn’t come back to Apple
Linux is open source, it’s always optional. On the other hand, if it becomes necessary in order to access popular web content, some users will demand it.
What distros are actually planning on forcing users to verify their age? All I’ve heard is maybe adding a optional field for date of birth.
I don’t know but I expect it from corporate distros like Fedora, Ubuntu and Opensuse.
I don’t think community distros would ever do something like that (despite all the drama going with arch).
Wots this then? I haven’t paid attention since the power source of my tower turned into a smoke machine.

Just some internet drama, don’t mind it too much.
lol silly bollockses.
None, lol. RHEL maybe.
It always starts optional. There’s no verification yet but many believe it will be a matter of time.
Those “many” then have no idea what open source means.

Yeah I mean I’m not defending this bullshit. I think its all stupid, unnecessary and it doesn’t do shit to pRoTeCt ThE cHiLdrEn.
I wasn’t really commenting on any of that, just asking if there’s any that do actual verification yet.

Fucking Haiku sounds interesting.

So we leave popular web content , like Reddit and start again with fediverse .
Sure, that’s what I’ll do. But the cool thing about open software is people can do whatever they want with it.
