its age attestation, not age verification (saying it vs proving it). also, dont give systemd shit about this bc they are just covering their asses in case more restrictive laws go through.

I think the fact that they acted so quickly to comply is the problem

I am kinda giving them shit for when someone pointed out that they're essentially storing PII completely unsecured and their response was "you should use app isolation anyway". That is not a good security model.

thats fair, but a lot of people are giving them shit for complying in the first place with a law that is going to be in the state they're based in.

They're not even really covering their asses. They don't make an OS, they make a small but important art of many distros. They're providing a clean, standardized way for Linux distros from RedHat to Ageless to comply with the law if they choose to. Some distros will comply with the law to the letter, others will not comply out of spite. At least the ones that comply will do it in a standard way.

hey dumbass, private corporations have to follow the law and they need to react fast enough to have a system in place when the law takes effect.
