Meanwhile on Lemmy:

No one under 18 years of age or under the regulated minimum age defined by your local law (whichever is higher), is allowed to use or access the website.

Linux is not for the eyes of the younger, for its enchanting presense can be overwhelming and turn you into a programming catboy

I wasn't allowed to play GTA when I was a kid either but well ...

"By using this site"

Lmao get fucked my HTTP requests are not a signature to your terms

Nobody's enforcing it so who gives a shit?

Without caring to read the replies to that mail, pretty sure it's because the forum feature can be seen as a social network and they just don't want to deal with getting guardian's approval and similar BS some laws around the world may require. openSUSE is a corporate-led distribution after all. They have to abide by different rules than some dude remixing Ubuntu in his bedroom.

I'm sure exactly zero kids have read the TOS and left the site. There isn't so much as a pop-up that attempts to enforce it.

As others have already mentioned, most Lemmy instances have this exact term in their TOS (which you read, right?)

You know what they say keep it quiet keep it movin' (stranger danger etc.)

Grew up in a time where no one gave a shit. Didn't tell people my age online. Nothing ever happened.

CYA (cover your ) terms without verification is ok by me. Responsibility should be on parent.
