Go, right now, right this second, and listen to all of Midnight Burger.
It is sooooooo good.

It’s a port! A native port! There’s gotta be a word for that. True port maybe?
It was fully decompiled and recompiled for this released.

systemd: “Yeah sure, here you go, some integers maybe. Could just be some zeroes, who cares, not me”
bunch of lazy reaction-baited dummies: “it’s age verification!”

Were you written by NK Jemisin or Cory Doctorow?

That could still work. Depends on where you injected it.

Okay
Look at the pull request
Tell me how it verifies anything. It’s a field.
I’m not arguing about the politics. The law is laughably inept at best and horrifyingly insidious at worst (and the truth is likely both at the same time).
But again, read the change, read the comments, tell me what verification is happening.

I’m Jeremy from System76. We are in talks with legislators and there are likely to be amendments to the age verification bills, as well as conflicting requirements in different jurisdictions. It may even be the case that open source operating systems are exempted entirely. I detailed this on the xdg mailing list here:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2026-March/014797.html

I have other concerns about this specific implementation. By relying on systemd, which is decidedly unportable to non-Linux operating systems, and not used across all Linux operating systems either, it will force at least one alternative implementation to exist. If these implementations end up having to collect jurisdiction specific requirements, that makes it much harder for compliance.

Okay.
How does it verify?

“While our lawyers are fighting it in court, we decided to whip up the barest minimum viable proof of concept so that if it does come to pass, at least it’ll be on our terms, and not a rushed piece of easily-exploitable garbage pushed out at the last second” the systemd team, probably

Oh, no, that part actually means you need to have lizard ancestry. A common misconception.

And solved by a trans pharaoh

Whatever’s clever.

I know you’re not deliberately minimizing the atrocities Japan committed back then…

waste of a perfectly good ninth-level spell slot

but not very productive

You, seemingly deliberately, misunderstood my message.

Baby Shark was astoundingly pervasive and the only way to have missed out on it was to be belligerently unobservant.

I consider this to be a positive outcome.

We’re responding to the words you put into OP’s mouth, with your holier-than-thou attitude.

It’s clear that you either do not have children, or that it has never occurred you to take an interest in their interests.

Or a pig at the end of a long hallway.
Or a poison swamp.
Or, and more seriously, the Moonlight Greatsword.
