Canonical: "let's make age verification a DBUS requirement!"

Omg, how can they suck so much! Next time I open that thread, I'm gonna surely find a proposal for systemd-ageverificationd!

I think the obvious problem that those mailing list proposals are missing is that even implementing the minutest part of this law is little more than a "foot in the door" thing. Once the law is passed and a compliant vendor publishes, that sets jurisprudence so that Christofascists can update the law strengthening the requirements, such as adding a user photo (which IIRC account service already supports via $HOME/.face!), LGBTQ+ status, National ID Document, etc.

The correct option in Linuxland is simply to WONTFIX, and if any California and Colorado corporate users whine about it, well, that's what they voted for. Wanna fix it? Kick your bad leaders out of office.

My message to Ubuntu and all Linux distros is simple:

DON'T OBEY FASCISM IN ADVANCE!
