      That’s not enough. Just like with systemd, you will be made to care about what the corporatist Microsoft-garglers at Red Hat do, whether you use it or not.

    We’re not legally required to have age verification here so if they try that shit here we’re just Gina nice to Arch/arch like :/

      I didn’t see it until you pointed it out. Imo looks unintentional, just an unfortunate result of the circuit traces being arranged as they are.

      I already got BSD on a spare laptop. Granted it was freeBSD and I think I might switch to OpenBSD since the latter’s foundation is Canadian and not US based.

      But yeah if they go through with this I will be uninstalling it off my gaming machine and switching to Arch 100%. I really appreciated that line about it “not being April fools” when it was introduced in their github thread.

    age verification made easy:

    user has internet access -> contracts can only be made by adults -> thus age is verified…

    also… whoever provides minors internet access goes to jail

      I know this is tongue in cheek but kids should be able to use the internet. It’s important that kids become digitally literate and the wonders of the internet are great.

      It’s so obvious that social media has made the world an objectively worse place and this is just another extension of that. Social media companies should face consequences when they harm children, full stop. Personally, I’d be fine with banning social media outright but I understand some may have free speech concerns. However, I don’t see how the interests of corporate capital and the attention economy can be squared inside this circle. Corpos will always want to maximize screen-time and they don’t give a hot fuck who’s brain they melt. Unfortuantely we live in a world where even the president of the US is a demented pedophile rapist so I don’t have much hope for people like Zuck seeing the consequences of his actions.

      Social media is a societal disease and until we actually deal with the root of the problem, which honestly doesn’t have anything to do with kids at all and really boils down to capitalist incentives and their relation to the attention economy, we will continue to see harms inflicted upon the digital citizens of the world.
