I wish Lennart Poettering a very go-drink-bleach-immediately.
I don't want you shoehorning your disregard for the Unix philosophy into every major distro as an excuse to shove your bloated ass flatpaks up my unlubed asshole.

The ideal solution to age verification is to make consumer devices hyperretarded with VTech-esque toy UIs and dedicate "real computers" to autists who can passionately explain the history of DEC of Maynard, MA for 7 hours straight.
(Alternatively, I'll accept anyone who can even vaguely get the answer right when asked "what is a PDP-11?" without Google/Kagi.)

@maid remind me when I have to upload the id to Linus
@maid PoisonDartPepe? PewDiePie?
@mischievoustomato @maid There's 11 of him now?????????
@maid >Politicians hate you and we do too, so the """fix""" to Linux's underlying problems is: we're not going to fix it, install systemdicks and flatshit instead
@idiot use case for politicians?
@maid at this point what is the reason to not buy a macbook if the same linux people who were like "WE'RE GONNA KICK MICROSOFTS ASS" and "FREE ASSANGE" and "AARON SWARTZ DID NOTHING WRONG" will roll over under pressure?
@sendpaws any remaining sense of personal dignity
@maid idk man, all the unix boomers back in the day who wanked off to the idea that a RISC/UNIX box would finally be mainstream were busting hot loads when the M1 hit.
SGI, Sun, IBM, HP, and DEC couldn't do it...
@prettygood @maid ARM is still kosher
@prettygood
Given the nature of modern battery-driven computing, ARM makes sense for most non-intensive cases and even many of those. But the company is still gay

@newt @sendpaws @maid It will likely be a dbus service. There's already an FDO draft for one and someone already made a Python implementation. Which means you'll have to patch it out in every app that would use that service. I doubt they'll integrate it to some DE user management when in the app it will be something as simple as:
KF6::UserAge::get()Or patch out KF, I'm dumb.
@phnt@fluffytail.org @i@declin.eu @sendpaws@mitra.pawslut.party @maid@shitposter.world @newt@stereophonic.space yw, that code is mostly just me exploring the suckass that is dbus tho. it's archetectually kinda pointless, which is why it's a great choice for checkbox compliance.
@feld@friedcheese.us @i@declin.eu @phnt@fluffytail.org @sendpaws@mitra.pawslut.party @maid@shitposter.world @newt@stereophonic.space because the underlying problem itself is retarded

> I very much doubt Linux will ever have a way to verify the date
-Computer have hardware level DRM, ME/PSP/TrustZones etc...
-Computer won't start if the OS isn't signed by a trust party you don't control.
-Computer requires mandatory internet connection to boot.
-No more local accounts, online only.
-Your account is linked to your irl ID.
-You can't browser common websites/.gov site as web DRM will check if your OS is signed.
This is already planned as it's progressively enforced more and more.
-Hardware is already full of DRM
-MS has mandatory online account
-Computer phones furthered this behavior via "stores"/repositories.
-Web DRM is slowly being used, youtube tries so often to push it on various part of the population, yandex too, various websites in general
-Current laws are being pushed and code is being integrated for ID/age check.

@newt @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage they keep blocking bypasses and want to make it impossible, not even Apple does this yet.
@sendpaws @maid @mangeurdenuage @newt Domain join bypass still works and removing it would make corporate mad.
@sendpaws @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage what do you mean "keep blocking"? Did Steve Ballmer steal your rig while wearing a sweaty thong and shouting "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS!!"? Because you can totally use an older working ISO for an enterprise Windows version and block it from ever accessing MS servers.
@newt @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage I can also use Windows 98 for the NEC PC-9801 eternally; but to even browse the internet you need to do a lot of crazy shit to the point of "just using a Chromium proxy" because of the bloated web, everything needing SSL post-Snowden, etc.
You're kind of limited when you use an older Windows version as time goes on.
@sendpaws @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage by older I mean the last year version, not the last millennium's.
@newt @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage Apple music, a bunch of games, Adobe software, and Visual Studio will ask you to update your windows to the latest version if you try to run some old ass LTSC. Ditto with some anti-cheats.

@sendpaws @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage soooo... the price of this is being able to avoid some retarded software? Seems like a free bonus.
Also, there probably are patched versions for at least MSVS. But hey, the world isn't perfect.

@newt @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage why not just use Linux then? that's the same thing Linux users say when you mention stuff that doesn't run there.
@sendpaws @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage i dunno, man. I only claimed it was entirely possible to use Windows without an online account.
@newt @phnt @sendpaws @maid @mangeurdenuage how long until Microsoft completely removes offline accounts for home versions of windows?
@hj @sendpaws @maid @mangeurdenuage @newt That has already happened officially with the Home version. You can still bypass it, but there's no official bypass like with Pro.
@mangeurdenuage @phnt @sendpaws @maid soooo... am I some kind of a majestic super human for the sole reason of being able to comprehend a README file and run a bunch of scripts that fix this issue? Wow thanks! I knew I was special!
@mangeurdenuage @phnt @sendpaws @maid i think you are mistaken. Moreover, this condescending attitude that many nerds exhibit is what really stops people from learning.
