Dang, am I about to become an Arch user?
I already got BSD on a spare laptop. Granted it was freeBSD and I think I might switch to OpenBSD since the latter’s foundation is Canadian and not US based.
But yeah if they go through with this I will be uninstalling it off my gaming machine and switching to Arch 100%. I really appreciated that line about it “not being April fools” when it was introduced in their github thread.
Oh wait, there aren’t people chiming in to call me and others a fucking idiot and a stupid man child and all the other talking points for suggesting that the systemd merge was going to escalate?
Fascinating. I wonder where they all went. Maybe they’re on the BSD forums now, but somehow I doubt it.
Welp… There goes Fedora!..
As long as I have root, I’m as old as I wanna be.
Not if age verification is done by a digital signature from the smart card in your government issued ID.
sudo rm /bin/evil-age-verification-binaryOr if it’s done through systemd: git clone, remove the offending code, and compile.
Nothing is sacred to these fucks
Is there a swastika in that image?
I didn’t see it until you pointed it out. Imo looks unintentional, just an unfortunate result of the circuit traces being arranged as they are.
Yeah, tbh a swastica is an amazing symbol, such a shame nazis made it their emblem.
What problem does this even solve? On Linux, what app would even be asking how old you are? Web browsers for sure, and maybe electron apps like Discord? But what else is there?
I’m on Bazzite (based on Fedora). I’m comfy with it, moving distros is a significant effort, so I’m very unlikely to ever jump ship. If I have to make a workflow that mirrors the official Bazzite images and neuters this age check, so be it. Not that complicated.
But I’m willing to bet the community will step up and maintain browsers/apps that don’t have these age checks in the first place. Firefox has many forks that definitely won’t, and Vesktop will probably stub this out when it inevitably comes to Discord. If there’s nothing to ask for age verification, it doesn’t matter what the OS can do.
I really don’t see a need to burn a distro I’m comfortable with, even if the upstream maintainers are a little dumb. There a ton of ways to bend a Linux distro to your will without throwing your hands up.
Linux Distros Could Tell Fedora To Eat Shit.
Because they are corporate-backed I can understand why Fedora would need to think about this, but I would never use them again. The surveillance state will stay the fuck out of my devices. The discussion also seems to be centered on GNOME?
I have a feeling that a lot of those who replied have not really read the article, that contains some nuances. I do not like the idea of age verification, but the project leader’s proposal is apparently not even official (and more like a hypothetical in a discussion thread on their forums.
Please read more than headlines, lol.
But it’s boring and won’t give you the feelingn of being right.
Why do some people just have the worst fucking ideas…and why is “some” starting to feel like “most”
Because media propaganda makes it seem as if the majority have certain views. People don’t like to be on the outside so if the media can trick people into conforming then they will try that.
happy fediverse birthday!
How bout
Ok well I suggest Fedora Project leader get fucked. Plenty of other good distros bub.
