    What distros are actually planning on forcing users to verify their age? All I’ve heard is maybe adding a optional field for date of birth.

      I don’t know but I expect it from corporate distros like Fedora, Ubuntu and Opensuse.

      I don’t think community distros would ever do something like that (despite all the drama going with arch).

      It always starts optional. There’s no verification yet but many believe it will be a matter of time.

        Yeah I mean I’m not defending this bullshit. I think its all stupid, unnecessary and it doesn’t do shit to pRoTeCt ThE cHiLdrEn.

        I wasn’t really commenting on any of that, just asking if there’s any that do actual verification yet.

          No no you see when this does get implemented and it will. Years later when they ask for a cryptographic signature verifying your age on Linux. Fucking Haiku will be the next big thing alongside Plan 9 Front. Its just how the cookie crumbles.

              It doesn’t get more hipster than the open source equivalent for the original alternative OS for PowerPC Macs (BeOS). The BeOS guys might still have been kicking around if Steve Jobs didn’t come back to Apple

        Linux is open source, it’s always optional. On the other hand, if it becomes necessary in order to access popular web content, some users will demand it.
