       RE: https://toot.cafe/@soapdog/116290204253136215“So it failed age verification and locked me out of many features. Bear in mind, I am 45 years old. I have an Apple account for 25 years, the age of my personal account alone should already verify my age.Credit cards are not documents. Many people don’t have them. Apple don’t provide any other way to verify your age because they are a stupid American company with American values in which you’re just as human as your credit score.Age verification is a scam, but checking it with a credit card is even worse.”RT: https://toot.cafe/users/soapdog/statuses/116290204253136215

       @aral@mastodon.ar.al @soapdog@toot.cafe They are not US-based. It is a HongKong registered company (probably for tax reasons or whatever), but the people running the company are from Spain. It's a very shady business. You can read my full rant about them here: https://minidisc.tokyo/notes/adfv3d6wfrRE: https://minidisc.tokyo/notes/adfv3d6wfr

       @BuuBuu @aral @GrapheneOS @VoidLinux your understanding of what systemd is doing is totally flawed.

       @BuuBuu @aral @GrapheneOS @VoidLinux the patch literally adds a date of birth field to user data, that is all. It's not an API for age verification. In addition the information is set by the user.

       @jmaris @BuuBuu @aral @GrapheneOS @VoidLinux There is no legitimate reason an OS needs to have a DOB field for user data. It's a fundamental concept for Data Minimization "Don't store any more information than you actually need"If an application or other user-space extension has a need for a dob, it should be implemented there, not as part of the init daemon.
