Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field
mechoman444@lemmy.world 20 hours agoDawg. That’s what I’m saying. There’s nothing to fight against. The fundamental architecture of Linux prohibits age verification completely.
The devs adding in the birthday field was the simplest way to placate this new law. They know there’s going to be a fork where it is removed.
In this instance the new law will destroy itself. I doubt there will even be any enforcement of it.
We’re worrying about the wrong thing dude. This is a non-issue.

“The fundamental architecture of Linux prohibits age verification completely”…until the next law erodes that privilege altogether.
I hope you are right. And for all our sakes, I really hope I am wrong.

I am 100% right. The system is open source. The kernel can be edited literally by anyone if they so choose to.
They’re cannot and will not be a law that says you can’t edit a Linux kernel.
Why are all of you just not acknowledging this?!?
