I see so many people making a huge deal out of linux stuff adding support for the california age thing, and I'm like. you know basically every online service has been required to ask for your age since 1998? this is literally just "at account creation, the device owner can set an age field. to whatever they want. and then apps can query that instead of asking themselves."you can set it to the unix epoch if you want

@rcombs honestly expect most things to ignore that field, this is really just malicious compliance at worst

facebook, google, tiktok, etc are tired of losing money to COPPA fines and this is their method of shifting the liability back onto the userimmediate and unquestioning compliance is critical to ensuring that even if the laws get fixed or repealed, they can continue to claim in court they're not liable for violating children's rights because these systems 'are everywhere'CC: @whitequark@treehouse.systems @rcombs@treehouse.systems

i wish people would have taken your suggested attitude towards secureboot...now we live in a world where bootloader projects are dependent on and fearful of microsoft revoking their computer license. and google is just unilaterally killing installing unsigned programs on the computer. linux folks, freedesktop and systemd scrambeling to build the shadowrun dystopia...and its always in the name of security.CC: @dalias@hachyderm.io @whitequark@treehouse.systems @rcombs@treehouse.systems
