Not strictly Linux…
But after reading about SystemD I realised that TempleOS would fall under the laws but there’s no way in hell that’s getting updated. There’s gotta be some amazing way to troll the lawmakers with this.
there is no way on hell, but there may be a way in heaven
I’m still super impressed by homie doing this all on his own. Rest in power homie, wish you sought out professional help.
Oh crap, why didn’t you tell me this earlier?
It’s a bit hard for him to comply. Why, you ask? Well, for starter, he’s dead.
The glowies got to him!
“Does anyone else find it weird that all the Linux users were born on Jan 1st, 1970?”
“You wouldn’t ask to put age verification on a Bible would you mister representative?”
If those people actually read the bible, they would never let a child near it.

I don’t think the bible cures pedophilia.
I’m getting to old for this age verification bullshit.
Let me guess, you’re 2147483647
Those getting too old for this are the ones who are 14
Yeah, and I’d say it’s a bit questionable whether California even has jurisdiction over revelations from God himself.
Also, I don’t think it does networking and app stores 😄
there is a networking module in the Shrine fork. i think its internal name is “heretic” as it is against god’s will.
TempleOS would fall under the laws
So would DOS and Windows 95, but those haven’t had any updates in a couple years. Surely they’ll be updated to comply.
FreeDOS’ latest version is from 2025. Guess they would be required to comply. They don’t even have user accounts…
SystemD is only adding the possibility to store an age for the user, and the PR is being debated still
If I ever find
systemd-ageverificationdon my computer I’m nuking itI think the point people are making here is why does systemd need to store an age for the user.
It can already store location data and other random metadata
Define “location data”.
Systemd stores location data for unit files, it does not store geo lookup data. Again, why does systemd need to store user age?
It can store your location data (i.e City/Address), because this service is specifically a user database. The systemd init isn’t storing your age anytime son.
Why would a glorified scheduling service need to store my birthday? Or age. Am I soon supposed to show/store my ID to all services running on my computer?
An equally valid question is why does a glorified scheduling service want to act as my UEFI boot manager?
The systemd service in question is probably already managing your accounts (if you’ve got systemd, that is)
It may be so, but it doesn’t know my birthday nor my ID 🤷
And it won’t unless something else tells it
Trojan horse, so to speak.
Preemtive capitulation is a loss for everyone but the fascists.
Good way to lose your market share overnight
