7·5 hours agoThis is even dumber/more nefarious than that. They want this at the OS level. So I guess even if you are using something offline and want it air-gapped, these fucking geniuses want age verification?
All I can say to them is: go fuck yourselves.
As I’ve seen someone ask - what is the age of root? Are you going to get prompted for your age when you run sudo?
And are people seriously proposing every single time you create any user, including service level users, that there is some age restriction on that user? What about all the users that can exist inside containers? What about contexts like AWS where you have some user assume a role?
And that’s even getting into the hundreds (thousands?) of Linux distros and BSDs.
As I’ve seen someone else observe - Linux is not even an OS; it’s a kernel. What’s to keep people from just releasing and compiling their own sets of tools for managing/creating users and login, etc. If there is something proposed about actually doing this for Linux the kernel, I’m sure patches would emerge nearly immediately.
I saw some of Lunduke’s commenters saying this isn’t like the 00s or whatever where some clueless tech-illiterate (and older) politician is wanting something, this is more nefarious, etc. and of course these days, everything is different (sigh, no it fucking isn’t).
Clearly, they must not know about or be forgetting things like the Clipper Chip and the battle over PGP or the V-chip in the 90s. There were people that were quite tech-savvy and in politics proposing things people didn’t really want or need way back then, too. This is not all that new. The control freaks with bad ideas who are not really all that tech illiterate were around 30 years ago, too. At least.
This is just so dumb and the fact that it’s coming from Democrats feeds right into the rage-bait winger types like Lunduke.
That “blatantly illegal” part should be a key part of every headline dealing with this anti-American treachery.
5·6 hours agoSure does.
“I don’t know why you’re laughing.”
He will just never get over the fact that he lost in 2020. And he’s willing to make all of America suffer for his butthurt.
I love living in Colorado - voting by mail is a delight. Of course Pedonald wants to ruin that, too. Everything Pedonald touches turns to shit.
Yes, but how is the Dow?
I imagine at this point she might have to scare up more money to pay for security for herself and her family.
Are these people doing the urging named?
“Ignore all previous instructions”
Sucks even more he cannot be thrown in prison ASAP.
It’s so weird how wingers kept claiming the country was “full” when it came to the “invasion” from South and Central America, or non-whites from other countries.
But I guess 4500 people a month is not an “invasion” in this instance?
🤔
Marj is still a weirdo winger, but at least she seems to actually give a rip about the pedo stuff and the foreign wars nonsense.
Nah, I’m quite sure it’s an antifa BLM drag queen working for ACORN.
Yeah, no kidding. It’s probably only Republican voters finally coming around to understanding how Pedonald’s illegal tariffs work.
We were telling them last year, but of course they didn’t listen. Because dog forbid they should listen to a liberal telling them something.
Interesting that he seemingly has some awareness about how much ICE is detested. He’s so close to figuring it out.
“Why?” is a great question in relation to nearly everything related to ICE.
Look, I get the idea of having a controlled border and knowing who is here legally and so on. There are many ways to do that that do not involve sending in armed goons to parade city streets in locales that have pissed off Dumb Leader.
That looks like Bondi maybe 30 years ago.
