The PARTICULAR evil shitstain responsible for implementing this typical systemd feature is Dylan Michael Taylor (born 1992) .His phone number is 919-666-7151. He lives at 2214 Magnolia Tree Lane, Durham NC 27703. The parcel ID in Durham county's systems is 217543, this confirms that he owns the house (I couldn't find records as to a mortgage in a quick lazy search, so probably the bank still owns much of it and he will be mandated to have insurance cover in case it was to say, accidentally burn down). But he definitely lives there.

Looks like the house backs onto a wooded area.

Electrical permits show that he had an EV charger installed shortly after buying the property, so for all we know, his car could just spontaneously explode at any time and free him from further contributing to the metastatis of the systemd cancer throughout the body of our blessed operating system. I will be praying to Allah for this, but OF COURSE will take NO FURTHER ACTION at THIS TIME.

WHY ARE THERE FUCKING LAWS BEING WRITTEN ABOUT THIS THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT WE HAD ALREADY BUT ON AN OS LEVEL
Click to expand...
The laws are meant to mandate the dependencies that will be required for actual age verification in the future.
It is scaffolding that other laws can build off of in the future.
I am not so worried about the immediate consequences of this law as I am about what can be built on top of it in the future.

Man I can't wait for government mandated and issued digital identity tokens. :jaceknife:
 
Here, have a fresh Linux™ Age Verification™ API: { test -a ~/.dob && cat ~/.dob } || echo 1900-01-01
Conveniently, every system in existence is already compliant. How fortunate.

I find it hard to imagine any way to make it difficult to circumvent age checks by software the user runs, given the virtualization capabilities linux now has. Maybe if unprivileged user namespaces were disabled? Even if the kernel added a dedicated system call just for checking the current user's age, ptrace is a thing. That's not even getting started on the possibilities of things like LD_PRELOAD or outright modifying the program. And of course, there's always the nuclear option of just running the program in qemu.

You're assuming that Lennart Poettring and his co-conspirators will not actively work to make this as difficult as possible for end users to circumvent.

In the rootkit development thread that @Squishie PP links- https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954 - Poettring is openly saying that he doesn't care that the deliberately shit way NSA employee Dylan Michael Taylor has implemented his new skid tool within systemd will give an EXACT DATE OF BIRTH to any program or browser extension running on your system. You see namespaces as a neutral tool that could potentially protect you if you build everything from scratch. Poettring and Taylor and their paymasters also see namespaces as a tool- that they can maliciously exploit to stop you escaping from their clutches, unless you spend hours if not days if not weeks of time getting around the very well-planned attacks they are implementing on behalf of their shadowy masters.

Will you take the effort to avoid this? Maybe. Will people moving off Windows because it's too hard avoid it? Probably not. Even I recommend a systemd-infected distribution, Linux Mint, to new users before they ascend to Devuan or Artix. This is just another way for the enemies of the human race to stick their hooks in and attack us.

Marg Bar Taylor. Marg Bar Poettring. Marg Bar Systemd. Marg Bar Amerika. Marg Bar 'israel'.

Writing's been on the wall since systemd swallowed udev. After one perversion comes the next, first this then hardware attestation by having systemd check for secure boot, then making sure you add biometrics at install time, for your security, of course :)

Sasuga, Niggering-sama, what an excellent implementation that totally does not leave a gaping stink ditch in the security of thousands of systems across the world. It'll be even better when they hook it to attach to your Digital ID! Think of the possibilities! Poooog! I love it when I have to fight my own computer so it doesn't dox me to glowniggers, isn't it just fantastic?

A list of tiny pieces of data:
  1. Your date of birth
  2. Your password(s)
  3. Your 2FA codes
  4. Your email-address(es)
  5. Your authentication tokens
  6. Your cookies
  7. Your contact list
  8. Your house address
  9. Your mother's maiden name
  10. Your Social Security number
  11. Your full name
  12. Your exact coordinates
  13. Your credit card details
  14. The three digits on the back
  15. Your eye color
  16. Your fingerprint data
  17. A list of all your medicine usage
  18. A list of all your hospital visits
  19. Your disgusting .jpeg of a profile picture
All of these combined are less than an average .png image! It's just that tiny.
 
Well, good time as any to ask what to expect when switching to systemd to openrc (besides faster boot times). Might install arch from scratch at this point or use artix depending on how much time I want to waste. Not sure yet as I might have AUR packages that might not work on openrc.

I guess now I really should get to switching to OpenRC.

I think you're forgetting about number 20: "How many genital warts you have and where exactly are they".

I am wondering what Guix will do in regards to this, FSF published an article denouncing the whole ordeal with Discord and age verification so I would be surprised if they complied. I am expecting they will do something similar to MidnightBSD and just make a blanket non-compliance statement:

Restricting who can use or download their software would violate the FSF’s principles and arguably the GPL as well. They’ll probably complain about it but eventually comply.

I assume they're not actually checking. Although it would an amusing plot twist if, to avoid handing out your date of birth, you have to hand out your home address instead.

At some point, the only software that will be able to avoid this garbage is that which can be maintained anonymously and hosted on infrastructure that is immune or resistant to legal action.

The Guix Foundation is incorporated in France so I'm not even sure if they have to comply with US law at all. Hopefully they'll be just as non-compliant. Has OpenBSD mentioned anything about this? I can't see Theo ever buckling to something so contrary to his security ethos.
