THAT law and it's copies here and abroad

Per the very first reply on their thread discussing it in their forums, which I linked directly to for the post title:

We’ll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user.

However, what’s gonna happen should the attempts to age-gate the XDG portal screw over alt-init distros like Artix too? My guess is maybe they start blocking regions which force age gating like Arch Linux 32 is doing.

    It saves you from what exactly? As a rational crank, surely you have an explanation.

    Unless you use xdg-desktop-portal, the field that systemd added does absolutely nothing.

    It’s an optional information field for user accounts, systemd doesn’t require that it is filled nor does systemd do anything to verify or check the field. User accounts also store e-mail and location and you are free to not enter that information or to enter fake information.

    I don’t see the vulnerability, especially considering that you’re comparing it to an SSH vulnerability (which, it should be noted, was caught in testing and never released).
