Rioting Pacifist

Just so I got this straight I’m a Fed simping magat, because I think you’re being hysterical about a Californian law that doesn’t require verification and returns a locally stored unverified age?

I’m honestly kind of neutral on the law but the hysteria around it as a slippery nipple to completely different laws is ridiculous.

California is a blue state

Lmao, you realize it’s a state law right?

Honestly the level of delusion around this is Alex Jones Turning the Frogs gay, there is a shred of truth but that’s about it and you’re our here popping vines over a PR that does very little.

JFC it’s “facism” to return an age bracket?

I mean if we’re making shit up, why not say they’ll execute you for non-compliance?

Except it’s not age verification and as see n by the systemd fork over this, the people hyperventilating over adding an API are making less secure systems

How could the subsystems be more modular?

My understanding is almost everything in the kernel is modular outside of the schedular

How does this compare to an ML approach?

are you training or just using an LLM for this?

What if they write a new law that says your computer must kill your nan and sleep with your mam? what if? What if? What if?

By that logic you should disconnect from the Internet entirely and use templeOS.

That’s a real good case for the application website not storing it (which is in the CA law)

If you think about it like that none of the proposed laws verify anything, even the worst one just verified you logged into the account with credentials for someone who put their DOB in the age bracket returned by the API

Wow sounds like they should only return an age bracket to mitigate most of those risks.

Also if your system is compromised it’s insane to think your DOB is the problem and not everything else on your system that can ID you.

A password is litterally the OS verifying you are who you are claiming to be.

But making a password doesn’t identify you or verify anything about you, anyway.

Neither is putting in a date of birth.

And when people are exaggerating and lying about what laws are actually being passed, they always yell slippery slope, and get to sneak off silently when actually proven wrong. L

Oh they passed a law that doesn’t require age verification?

But what if they passed it as a pretext to pass a different law later to kill your nan.

It’s disappointing to see the lack of good conversation around this isn’t due to tool limitations or reddit being terribly moderated, but rather there are a lot of people who genuinely just want to invent stuff to get mad about and if you point out that isn’t what’s happening they’ll just yell slippery nipples the sky is falling!!! Over and over.

Whatever happened to the EU meme law that was widely misinterpreted on reddit as the end of the world, I guess nothing.

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the slippery slopers claim that this is just the first step, eventually they’ll make it ban anyone born before 1970, then 2036

We’ll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user.

Cool so no passwords?

Literally nobody: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_people

AFAICT even the oldest unverified person was born in 1900 https://en.iz.ru/en/node/2061564?main_click
