How to get age verification into linux? Easy, just tell Poettering that if he doesn't hurry up and do it first, some non-systemd approach might become the standard.
This isn't age verification. It's just adding the field into the user record so it can be used if your distro decides to collect that information.
This isn't about age verification, this is about him sabotaging linux instead of sabotaging encroachment by authoritarians in every single aspect of life. He didn't have to go and shove the entire boot down his throat, but here we are.

I ain't reading all that fam
he isn't the one who submitted the PR to add the age verification field. he also isn't the one who merged the PR.
fucking who cares if it's not him, I'm talking about the assholes that did those things
good, keep not reading things on this site and go somewhere else without text
I hope you get better soon, and don't stroke out from all the stress you are clearly under from seeing the word "systemd".
KTHNXBAI~
Should this strategy become an RFC?
