Linux Distros (so far) Refusing Age Verification

The systemd dude, ever so flexible as long as the request does not come from actual users, is already working on adding this into core components, though.

    Systemd is open source so it can be forked to have features removed.

    The systemd mod is not a gateway. It's just a date field.

    Damn. 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.
