@EromancerSFW @shotgunner101 Please explain how any one of my changes adds ID verification/face scans/whatever? It doesn't. And honestly couldn't - short of maybe enforcing it at the UEFI layer there's no way to ensure all OS users have their ID verified and mapped to their device.

@dadbod2100 @nisten Well, I'm not paid. I am one of the authors of archinstall already, from several years back, so it would make sense to add a feature if we're required to do so however pointless it is. Right now that just looks like a prompt to enter a date without verification.

@shotgunner101 @EromancerSFW I can guarantee you that any attempt at requiring ID on Linux will be trivially circumvented. Alternative forked installers without that will exist or there will be a way to manually copy the system files from the installation media, etc.

@jtregunna @WeebSympa @LundukeJournal Okay, well I have no intention of changing the ability to remove the birthDate value by setting it to an empty string in userdb and can't think of anyone else who's going to make that PR, nor does anyone want to enforce ID checking for age.

Ubuntu & Elementary OS Linux distributions are planning how to implement age verification functionality (for all user accounts on their OS), in order to comply with a new California law. “We're currently looking into how to implement an API that will comply with the laws while also not being a privacy disaster,” says Aaron Rainbolt, Ubuntu Community Council Member. The current proposal is adding a new D-Bus interface (“org.freedesktop.AgeVerification”), which would impact all Linux systems.

@0xglitchbyte Honestly, a change to something like xdg-specs or wayland protocols could take a YEAR to be reviewed and merged.

@0xglitchbyte You don't even have to use the installer to install Arch, and a manual installation certainly wouldn't set that field. This is just to comply with the law's text, as written. And if you read in the PR comments, there's an acknowledgement that this is pointless/ineffective.

@0xglitchbyte Do you know how long designing specs and integrating patches into various components takes? Nobody wants to scramble to do this at the last second.

@WeebSympa @jtregunna @LundukeJournal You do realize the PR includes a mechanism for removing the birthDate value, right? And you wouldn't have to fork to remove data... or did you not look at the PR you're commenting on?

@dylanmtaylor92 @0xglitchbyte It isn't needed or wanted. Many systems don't even have a single user of meaningful age (most servers, embeded systems). You seem like the kind of person to get one shot by Roko's Basilisk: A possible future boot so big you have to start licking it now.

@dchackethal @0xglitchbyte If you can't see that shipping software that is non-compliant with the laws of multiple US states would be an _existential threat_ to these free and open source project and their ability to receive commercial contributions, I don't know what to tell you.

Incremental compliance with small unjust rules normalizes creeping overreach. History is littered with examples where ordinary people and institutions went along with early restrictions (book bans, civil service purges, identity tracking) that snowballed because no one drew a hard line. That's the "banality of evil" lesson ... good people enabling bad systems through quit compliance. Slippery slopes aren't always fallacies, especially when governments use slogans like "protect the children" as cover for broader control infrastructure. Forgive the wording, but you might have your head shoved so far up your ass you can't see this, and if that's the case, consider this my "I'm sorry about that" expression of empathy. If however you're doing it knowing that it's soft, early compliance, then I go back to my original statement. 10, 20 years from now, when government turns bad (if it does), and you see the technological compliance you participated in leading to the arrest of people who did nothing wrong by today's standards, just disagreed with government... I hope you take a good hard look at your life, your actions, and reflect on what you participated in. Anyway, have yourself a good night, bye.

@jtregunna @LundukeJournal The liability of not complying with laws is extremely high for open source projects. I'm not sure that realistically there is a choice in the matter if we want system integrators and commercial enterprises to continue to contribute to free and open source software and ship it.
