  1. You can not control Linux. We will build systems around it.

    By the way, you can install Artixlinux Packages over my i2p mirror for better censorship resilience. If you ask kindly, I might add your favorite distros repo.

  5. To patch #Linux systemd to exclude #ageverification, users can use ...

    - #Liberated systemd: A standalone fork that removes surveillance-enabling code

    - #systemd-no-age-verification: A GitHub repository that reverts the specific commits i

    - #AgelessLinux : A compliance-tracking project that offers a script

    Ageless Linux is a Debian-based operating system project that has declared "full, knowing, and intentional noncompliance" with California's Digital Age Assurance Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.501(a). Where most Linux distributions are quietly building age verification into their installers ahead of the January 2027 enforcement date, Ageless Linux returns a single response to every age bracket API call: "ERROR: Age data not available." This video covers the project's legal argument — that the penalty for failing to collect age data can only be calculated using the age data you failed to collect, creating an enforcement math problem for any attorney general who tries to pursue it.

  8. Dylan "I read the law and I'm here to implement it" M. Tylor gets up in the morning and decides to write age verification code that he himself calls "hilariously pointless and ineffective", within a week strikes 4 repos off his list, and i bet the Linux Kernel is going to be next (I'm joking... mostly)

    It's worth noting that the first people who approved the PR on systemd repo are 2 big tech employees - Mircoslop and Redhat/IBM (why I'm i not surprised!!), someone then opened a revert PR, Lennart Poettering (systemd creator) closed it.. thus blocking the removal

    And this is why you now have Liberated Systemd, a fork of systemd without Age verification.. which IS 'hilariously pointless and ineffective' at saving children

    when engineers starts reading the law like a specification, this is what you get.. useful idiots.

  10. So I wanted to know a bit more about #agelesslinux and followed a link to their website.
    Only to land on a "blocked" page by #Vodafone's "Secure Net".

    What really makes me mad about this: This is *not* a setting that can be switched off in the router. This is *not* a setting that could be circumvented by using a different DNS (I almost never use the provider's DNS, anyway). So I assume Vodafone keeps a list of IPs to be censored, not on the DNS level but on their routers.

    How nice by Vodafone to make the Net "secure" for us all by censoring websites that oppose policy that isn't even a thing (yet) in my country of residence! /s

  11. Honestly.. at first i was surprised (and disappointed) at some major Linux distributions not having a clear answer to age verification laws after weeks of their announcement, but then lots of them started discussing them. really! discussing them! what's there to be discussed?

    "maybe we can implement age checks in a privacy respecting manner? 👉👈"

    And it's just so happens this serves the corporation that you work for best interests! Big tech "Foss devs" have a clear conflict of interest here

  13. Ageless Linux is a civil disobedience project of the best kind...I love that they are literally spitting in the face of California and other places that have the AUDACITY to try to gatekeep computer/internet access.

    Using hostile and draconian measures to siphon personal information from computer users in order to verify their identity (these are down the pipeline, as legislation is going to cause those to become an issue in the long term. Surveillance is always the first step, then comes the boot). What is happening in Brazil is concerning, as it gives those who would erase digital privacy a better blueprint. So far there is no actual verification in the greater Linux ecosystem; Ageless Linux sees the potential of that happening. This project wants to remove it too, based on how it will be implemented.

    I love that the lead of this effort breaks down the law in a way that kinda makes sense to me. I love how this project flagrantly spits in the face of any regulators that had woken up and chose privacy violations as a way to start their day.

    They are also tracking the responses of various distros and keeping people aware of their choices. Accountability is king!

  15. Not just Ageless Linux.. shoutout to @artixlinux for sticking to the free & open source software principles, I'm making the switch very very soon (to #artix :artix: )

    we're living in a time where our current actions dictate what things would be like for the future generations, if you think a local checkbox (are you above 18?) is harmless, you should know that it's not about the checkbox!

    things become much worse when you comply, next thing: VPNs, next: take a guess! you get the idea

  17. I have heard in passing that systemd already complied with the new law of two entities?
    What are others doing on an arch systems? Is it advisable to change to initd or something? #archlinux #systemd #agelesslinux

  18. This week's Linux and FOSS news:

    LINUX NEWS

    Ageless Linux aims to openly oppose the California age verification law, will provide instructions about how to remove age verification mechanisms if they get implemented:
    agelesslinux.org/
    agelesslinux.github.io/
    (It's a bit confusing though that they have two websites, with slightly different content.)
    They also report the status of age verification:
    agelesslinux.org/distros.html
    agelesslinux.github.io/age-rep
    (Systemd laying the ground work is pretty worrying, I wasn't against Systemd until now, but I feel like it might be better to get out, and use some Systemd-free distros, will look at the options out there. Artix openly opposing and doing nothing is good to see, hopefully Devuan, Gentoo, Alpine, Slackware, etc. will do the same, although if a specific distro implements it, it will probably be relatively easy to remove it, Ageless Linux is pretty likely to provide some useful instructions for it, the Systemd thing is more worrying though.)
    (Surprised about Kicksecure/Whonix, it's a distro which is used by people with especially high threat model, so implementing the age verification crap probably defeats the whole purpose of the distro.)
    (I'll probably also download binaries for the programs I use, just in case Flathub also decides to comply with the App Store Accountability Act. It sucks pretty much that most programs don't have a built-in update mechanism, have to rely on package managers (except for Brave and a few others). It can also be pretty bad for YouTube frontends/downloaders like FreeTube and yt-dlp which break pretty often, quickly become unusable if they can't be updated... And of course, using a browser without updates is also a huge security risk.)
    (Might be useful to download some webpages too, before they start requesting the age bracket.)

  20. So, there's this "Ageless Linux" thing that boldly refuses to ask your age, because who needs legal compliance anyway? 🎉 They're proudly sticking it to the man by not following the law and pretending this somehow makes them cool. 🕶️ It's like a rebellious teenager but with less angst and more open-source code. 🚀
