its attestation, not verification, and they are just putting things in place to comply with the law bc you have to. being open source does not exempt you from following the law.

also, since every proprietary platform won’t even bat an eye over this everything will soon require it to function (obviously assuming the laws pass). this means linux won’t work properly with any web-based things. this is the same issue you get whenever Wayland tries to go against what every other platform does and just breaks a bunch of apps.

they dont ship to the us. also the mobile-focused software is still early on linux, but as long as it is daily drivable I can handle that.

yeah, that was kinda the point. dude was lying out of his ass

what have you used then? the only other option thats really viable as a complete daily driver solution is iphones and iOS and that has all the same issues just without pretending to be open source

good linux phones can’t come soon enough

might just be forgetting smth but I have no idea what you mean by persona. so far though, all sys76 have done is work towards supporting something they are about to be legally required to do in the state they’re based in (co), even if they did it in a kind of sucky way.

you can still reach out to the people who make those decisions and try to get people ti understand why age verification and attestation are bad. theres no point getting mad at companies for complying with the law. arguing how they’re doing it is fine but complaining they’re doing something they literally have to is just whining.

its age attestation, not verification, and linux is still going to have to comply with the law either way. being open source does not give us immunity from whatever laws are passed. if you have a problem with it, keep the law from being passed in the first place.
