There is a very easy way to force linux users to enforce this. However, I won't give it away here, because as far as I can tell the current law makers are clueless.
And I don't want to give them clues.
I don’t see any real way, unless they’re going to require age verification to connect to the internet in the first place.
My fellow lemming, your lawmakers are not on here don’t worry.
There isn’t an easy way. There may be a way to enforce it when you connect to a remote site, but that requires the remote computer to implement it, not you.
Our current law makers are still debating if freeing the slaves was a good idea. That's how far behind they are.
I'm already seeing that in a year or two, we're getting blocked on websites or electron applications because of age verification just like in android with Google Play Services. Like use age verification software or get blocked for 99% the internet.
They don't even need to turn it into law.
Whatever device based verification those websites or electron apps were communicating with can be spoofed in a system where you have complete control.
Games are cracked in weeks at most, don't you think that whatever secure communication is established won't be cracked lightning fast by the whole FOSS community? Once the "secure communication" between local apps is broken, a third package can mitm that shit easily. It's a local environment.
Honestly the faster they try to lock us out of the web the sooner we can get a second, freer web with card games and prostitution.
Blackjack and hookers for 500 please
So just like the old net before Google, Meta and Amazon :)
"Like putting too much air in a balloon!"
Like a balloon, ...and something bad happens!
That may be my favorite line from the whole show
It is a classic. Another of my favorites: "At the risk of sounding negative, no!"
That's true and I bet its a big part of the plan. The good parts for us about that approach, though, is that the bad technology is baked into the services, not the user's software, and the system depends on the tech oligopoly remaining. Laws are more durable than trends, so maybe that could be better for online privacy long-term, because the oligopoly will eventually break up. If we're real lucky, some of them won't survive the AI bubble aftermath enough to participate in this.
I am very glad that you have strategically selected which parts of your mind to lose.
