wow so now every time I install Linux I have to provide my name and my date of birth?
>>12889272since when
>>128892752027 or something
Didn't happen
They’ll just put a disclaimer on distros “Not intended for use in California”
of course the guy that posts little kid cartoons for the past like year or two is a linux user
>>12889339embarrassing that theyre smarter than you
what if I live in Pakistan?
>>12889346if hes using bazzite hes smarter then you too
the issue is that this is linked to an account so even if you buy an used PC you'll have to use the old account or create a new one with the ID. Same as if you install an old OS and update it.
>>12889272or use literally any website that distributes software not made by the owners of that site, like sourceforge or github
>>12889339Whats wrong with Linux?
>>12889398nothing is wrong with linux but people who use linux and talk about it have time to use linux and config stuff endlessly instead of doing anything productive and then get mad at people for using windows
>>12889475But op isnt doing that
>>12889359fedora linux based
Well I’m not cryin', I'm not sobbin’, I'm not blubberin', no!I'm not weeping, I am keeping it all under controlI swear - it's not as bad as it appearsGuys, I swear these are frustration tears!
>>12889475except most people who use linux arent configing stuff endlessly and just enjoy a snappier experience than sluggish windows
Just uour name but you can enter whatever
A lot of them are yes, here is a list of the still based free to not be spied on by commiefornia and tyrant govs it REALLY isn't about age verification and is about universal IDYour fortune: You will meet a dark handsome stranger
>>12889641Arch Linux wins in the based department.
Full listhttps://github.com/BryanLunduke/DoesItAgeVerify
>>12889272Just fucking lie about it then? Lol.
>>12889647They're sending a lot more than the age and name you lied about, like IP, location etc
>>12889641None of distros are going to implement any age verification since it's impossible enforcePeople should stop obsessing over an irrelevant drama like this>>12889645>Lundukeopinion discardedthis guy never has any clue of what he's talking about and just stirs up drama to capitalize on oversensitive reactionary crowd
>>12889655They literally are though.. and that is just a list directly linking to the developers directly stating what they intend to do.
>>12889653
>>12889657Which distros exactly?I've never heard about a single distro that would do that?And creating reactionary forks like this so called "ageless linux" is so laughable and patheticFeeding on populist sentiments like a leech
>>12889653I don't think that will be true especially for a decentralized OS like Linux.
>>12889664I mean it comes with sending the information to begin with, it would be naive to assume they aren't logging that information, and a lot of the big linux distros absolutely are, per their own mission statements and development notes.
>>12889665Fedora specifically said that they're not going to implement age verificationStop listening to that fraud Lunduke
>>12889664shut up bitch, women doesnt understand technology
>>12889668lole, I don't know who that guy is or why you have a problem with them but if Liar McLiarton king of all lies and deceits made a list of links directly to the official accounts, it is still the official accounts and their official statements.
>>12889672Have you even checked those links?He doesn't link to official developer statements but his xitter posts and his youtube videosMy god you must be the single most retarded namefag on this board and that is a fucking achievementhow can you spread information without even checking what you're posting and who's resposible of it?all aisloppers are mindless cattle
>>12889677Cool projection, you're actually the one that read a name and jumped to retarded conclusions; yes I have and they are to the actual developers/sites and their statements/plans.
>>12889677But anyway, yes everyone do your own research for sure and be aware this is a thing going to happen 2027ish and it will effect your privacy.Your fortune: Better not tell you now
>>12889641Welp... time to switch to arch.
>>12889641bros im throwing out my pc and buying a calculator
>>12890129my life might get better without a computer honestly.
>>12889660im sorry the government satellites concentrated their microwave beams on your brain buddyYour fortune: Good news will come to you by mail
>>12890169ohh those problems over there ...their antenna are just perhaps a permanent problem
is this about systemd adding an age entry into that user db thingy (which also contains entries like your location etc. which you can just, you know, ignore)literal nothing-burgersites not letting you in unless you provide a secure non-tamparable "i'm of age" token will be a completely different matter
THEY WAN TTO FEED OUR CHILDREN BLACKED WHITE SISSY PORN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAND YOU WANT THIS "Gavin Newsom" TO BE YOUR PRESIDENT?! VOTE DEMS OUT
>>12889475it took me way too long to move to linux because of linuxfigs making it sound ridiculously more arcane than it really isYour fortune: Good Luck
>>12890758Linuxfags dont do that, windowsfags do
>>12890766linuxtroons love to play up their computer mystique
>>12890771i always hear it pitched as easy and mostly simple to understand because it is
>>12890771You're probably thinking of midwit trolls on 4chan. No one using Linux actually does that
