It's only being talked about and people have already folded. It's only a date field. Then it'll only be an API for other service integration. Then it'll only be an optional plug into a remote service. Then it'll only be an optional, but strongly recommended, dependency in other software. Then it'll only be a digitally signed third-party value that's mandatory. Then it'll only be something most installer won't proceed without. We've been jumping from slippery slopes to slippery slopes over the past few years. It's tiring. And the coincidental timing of all this is not helping. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] uhmbah@lemmy.ca -8 points 5 months ago Okay.

The adduser command does not ask for your age. We recommend not thinking about this. Based permalink fedilink source parent
