Stupidity of age verification:
eBay wants me to verify who I am via a credit card, which they ALREADY HAVE on file for me...so they want me to enter same details again? Why?
Here's the clincher: it's for a 'bladed item'.
I am trying to buy some table forks. SO DANGEROUS.

meme: a guy becoming a clown with each statement he makes in support for age verification laws, in the last statement he becomes a full clown 1. code is speech, and we're being forced to write code against our will, we're being treated like slaves! wait..!! are we?! 2. Age Verification laws are not the worst thing that happened to our rights 3. Age Verification should be viewed as a feature, we don't want to be left behind and lose market share. 4. You already put way more sensitive personal information on your SSDs anyways, what's wrong with your OS asking for your age?!
Honestly.. at first i was surprised (and disappointed) at some major Linux distributions not having a clear answer to age verification laws after weeks of their announcement, but then lots of them started discussing them. really! discussing them! what's […]

A screenshot of text that reads, "Community Reaction The reaction has been intense: Multiple forks of systemd have appeared on GitHub, stripping out the birthDate field as a form of protest The developer behind the change faced harassment, doxxing, and death threats Garuda Linux and Void Linux have outright rejected implementing age verification GrapheneOS has stated it won't require personal data for use, even if this limits availability in certain regions Fedora's Project Leader is exploring an Apple-style age verification API as a potential compromise A new distro called Ageless Linux has emerged specifically to protest OS-level age verification"
GrapheneOS: "No personal data required."
Garuda & Void: Rejecting age fields.
Ageless Linux: New district born from protest.
Fedora exploring Apple-style API.
systemd’s new birthDate is optional metadata; but, critics fear it's a gateway to more.

As I said in a previous newsletter, in late December, #ageverification violates people’s rights to #privacy and free expression, by encouraging #censorship and #self-censorship while it does not promote online safety but makes people more unsafe instead. bsky.app/profile/hist... (146/?)

Austria announced it will soon ban social media for children up to the age of 14, saying it spawned addiction, glorified violence, spread misinformation and set unrealistic beauty standards.
It hope…
