- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

It always starts optional. There's no verification yet but many believe it will be a matter of time.
I'd scale my outrage with the severity of the problem. That's not to say that it's a good move, and the law itself must be overturned for everyone's sake, but regarding systemd, we're at a weird forking point between "slippery slope fallacy" and the type of gradual accumulation of minor evils that sum up to a great one.
If the slope actually starts slipping and entry becomes mandatory, I'll take the L and join the push for alternative init systems. Right now, I just have to ration my energy.
Yeah I mean I'm not defending this bullshit. I think its all stupid, unnecessary and it doesn't do shit to pRoTeCt ThE cHiLdrEn.
I wasn't really commenting on any of that, just asking if there's any that do actual verification yet.
No no you see when this does get implemented and it will. Years later when they ask for a cryptographic signature verifying your age on Linux. Fucking Haiku will be the next big thing alongside Plan 9 Front. Its just how the cookie crumbles.
Fucking Haiku sounds interesting.
It doesn't get more hipster than the open source equivalent for the original alternative OS for PowerPC Macs (BeOS). The BeOS guys might still have been kicking around if Steve Jobs didn't come back to Apple
Linux is open source, it's always optional. On the other hand, if it becomes necessary in order to access popular web content, some users will demand it.
So we leave popular web content , like Reddit and start again with fediverse .
Sure, that's what I'll do. But the cool thing about open software is people can do whatever they want with it.
I only use open source, windows 7 was the last operating system I used before I switched to linux.
Last year I started removing google and switching my phone to grapheneOs, will in no way go back to microsoft and Co
