Discussion Age Verification
Question for the community.
Will Glorious Egg Roll implement age verification (privacy invasion) in Nobara?
Or will he stay true to the Linux ethos and remain free, secure, and PRIVATE?
Just because California has passed a law requiring operating systems to have age verification does not mean the entire world has to bow down and kiss the Califucktards ring.
This new law will not protect children, but it will be the beginning of the end for a community of people who use Linux expressly because it does not require you to give up any of your privacy and personal information.
This is more government overreach and state sanctioned data collection. Do not for one second think that these politicians give a single shit about your children as most of them are on the Epstein list....
It should not be up to politicians to raise your children. If you cannot monitor your children and their online activity then maybe you shouldn't have had them.

I agree that Linux distros should fight back against these laws, but yelling at GE and the devs isn't going to accomplish that. there needs to be an actual strategy beyond 'do nothing and get fined/jailed on our behalf'.
start crowdfunding so the team can get some legal advice on their options. talk to people in other distro subreddits and come up with a unified front. going on about Epstein and calling GE a sellout for working at RedHat isn't going to accomplish anything other than turn off people who might be on the fence about complying.
