The ideal solution to age verification is to make consumer devices hyperretarded with VTech-esque toy UIs and dedicate "real computers" to autists who can passionately explain the history of DEC of Maynard, MA and 7 hours straight.(Alternatively, I'll accept anyone who can even vaguely get the answer right when asked "what is a PDP-11?" without Google/Kagi.)

@newt @sendpaws @maid It will likely be a dbus service. There's already an FDO draft for one and someone already made a Python implementation. Which means you'll have to patch it out in every app that would use that service. I doubt they'll integrate it to some DE user management when in the app it will be something as simple as:KF6::UserAge::get()Or patch out KF, I'm dumb.

Spreading the word I important but as I grew older I realized that two things happens when critical mass happens in such context.-Grifters will abuse the need and make something that looks less worse and thus will attract even contributors-Actual free/libre software solutions that work and could work are either left aside or unknown-omitted.Like for example GN on their discord video cited several software as a solution mainly proprietary ones, some are free/libre but they focused on proprietary ones which will inevitably turn into discord bs at some point because of it's proprietary nature.Also none of the free/libre software their proposed are a viable alternative to what discord did.Jami is the closest one of all the free/libre software and it still needs a lot of work.

GN has been making a genuine effort to regurgiate research on various chat services and protocols in light of many people finally realizing that Discord is a Piece of Shit™. They're the only ones who've been honest about Matrix's honeypot smell but still haven't exactly nailed the issue and have neglected XMPP presumably because they are as clueless as the average person - they are better as journalists and not computer experts, but that's better than 99% of journos out there so I'll take it I guess. Above all it is a good thing they are willing to listen to commenter feedback and highly likely that they'll do more good than bad for normies not in the know.CC: @mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world @phnt@fluffytail.org @maid@shitposter.world @newt@stereophonic.space

@mangeurdenuage @phnt @maid @newt part of what made the podcast types on poa.st/elsewhere get mocked (and why that crowd became irrelevant) has to do with this.They're all about making jokes, telling you shit sucks, and that you should give them money to tell you shit sucks. To quote one website, "The fate of western civilization will be decided by the e-daddy with the largest Patreon."That's what it boils down to and nothing summed it up harder than the whole GG shit going on. The fact far more people from that movement became e-pundits instead of being gamedevs is telling. I've mixed up Luke Smith, Lunduke, and others in my mind because they fit the mold of "e-daddy who wants money".

When they enshittify it as they've already been doing, it will be harder for the RedHat/Microsoft cult to maintain an iron grip like what Windows allows. We still lose the ecosystem, but we make any "muh user friendly" numbing unenforceable and create a gateway for freedom to seep back in when people get tired again. Just look at what happened to XOrg. Still not dead, infact people are more vocally against Wayland's creeping now than ever.Plus, GNOME design elitists and similar are blind to their users regardless. It doesn't matter how many new users turn over or not because they are going to keep pretending they are at the forefront of "user friendly Linux" since it is a power fantasy for them. The correct response is to bring new users over but inform them of the better options they have, that individual choice does not have to be scary and user friendliness does not mean mimicking a cell phone. People who want to turn us back into passive consumers are not going to stop at "there are no users" because they're out of touch and see enthusiasts as potential conversion anyway (that or they call us all fascists, because when politics are involved that is considered a "win" in their book).

@maid the funny thing:Flatpak is dead. And not just "I dont like it dead" but "it is barely maintained anymore" dead.https://lwn.net/Articles/1020571/

@bonkmaykr @sendpaws @maid @mangeurdenuage @newt >No, sorry. I agree that appealing to computer illiterate users is detrimental when taken too far, but I do not think this is an excuse to deny the general population encouragement to free themselves.We agree on this. My point wasn't that bringing more people will be bad, it was that if you bring more people in the current state, it will be bad.>When they enshittify it as they've already been doing, it will be harder for the RedHat/Microsoft cult to maintain an iron grip like what Windows allows.Red Hat is already almost the only reason why Linux desktop is currently even working, but also almost the only reason why it sucks. When you look at almost any major project, they are maintaining it or involved in it. GCC is maintained mostly by Red Hat, glibc's maintainer is from Red Hat, Red Hat is also involved in iconv and coreutils. And that's just GNU projects. You then look at FreeDesktop projects and it's even more Red Hat. Mesa is quite a lot of Red Hat along with GPU companies, NetworkManager is almost exclusively Red Hat, GNOME is heavily sponsored by Red Hat. Point is, IBM can decide to kill Linux at any moment, if they wish to via Red Hat as a proxy. They are already the only absolute foundation of the whole "ecosystem".But they are also by proxy the reason why Linux sucks. Wayland always was heavily pushed by Red Hat along with it's stupid sandboxing, portals and all that other crap that never works properly. Flatpak is heavily pushed by GNOME, ie. Red Hat.>Just look at what happened to XOrg. Still not dead, infact people are more vocally against Wayland's creeping now than ever.And those people are at the whims of Wayland devs. Any time some lunatic can decide to delete X11 support from mesa and it's not like anyone from the small community will be able to maintain that. Any time GNOME devs can decide that the next GTK version will be Wayland only and you aren't maintaining that heap of garbage either.>The correct response is to bring new users over but inform them of the better options they have, that individual choice does not have to be scary and user friendliness does not mean mimicking a cell phone.Do you know what the only correct way to convert someone to Linux is?Be a normieOnly use a word processor and a web browserHave someone that can be tech support at all timesHave someone deep into Linux install and configure Mint for youNever, ever, visit any Linux-related forum or ask for help onlineAnd I don't mean the last point lightly. The Linux community is one of the most annoying, smug and condescending communities you can find at all. The moment someone that is clueless about an issue asks for help online, it is over. GNU/Tards are especially bad, considering they've made it their life goal to be as annoying as possible to every possible and existing Linux user. They are the biggest blight in this community, which is why I think they need to go away as quickly as possible. One of the very long list of reasons why I react to their posts the way I do.Also on the point of user-friendliness and why things worked better 10-15 years ago. 10 years ago, a user had an operating system, one package manager, one theme, one way to install applications. Today a user has to think about Flatpaks, Snaps, AppImages, their OS package manager; whether they use PulseAudio or Pipewire (both break in different ways at random); whether they are using Wayland or not (Wayland is still broken in unique ways); whether they are running apps sandboxed without knowing, eg. Flatpaks/Snaps (apps randomly break, files the user wants to interact with aren't always visible due to sandboxing, apps don't usually respect system theme at all,...); what even is a portal and why doesn't it work,...

@maid understandable but you are also an idiot. Unix philosophy is not a good design paradigm for 2026. Running ai generated apps or apps that regularly get injected with some malware virus shit, without sandboxing and permissions system is pretty shitty. It also helps with lazy or mediocre devs unable to ship things that work with several versions of dependencies. Everything needs that one specific chrome and one specific nodejs version to run or whatever it is.

@maid yea because you definitely look at the source code of every package you install and determine if it has had any ai assistance or vibecoding done to it. I’m sure.

@maid that second use case is kinda shit. Understandable for dev speed but overall crap.But hey. That’s why systemd exists. So instead of having to ship a bloated app that includes everything. Software developers can just rely on any of the 69 individual binaries systemd has. Like networking stuff and user data and device management. All the stuff developers needed to ship one super bloated blob in the past because every distro did it differently.

@silas @maid xz was notable because malware making its way into distro packages is so rare. Use a distro with good packaging practices (not Arch), stick to distro packages, avoid third-party package managers (especially npm/pip/cargo) like the plague, and audit anything you package or build from source and you're pretty much guaranteed to avoid malware
