It's not to protect children though. It's for political surveillance.

Better to just hate the whole Epstein Class. They trash the world for everyone else..

Yeah apparently it's fine for them to fuck kids but too immoral to risk kids seeing people fucking.

If everyone voting for these age requirements don't also vote to require you to use an ID to unlock the safety on a gun or remove a knife from the knife rack, they aren't voting on this to protect the children.

Knives and guns need age verification before someone seeing Kate Upton showing her breasts.

Im going side with none of it needs age verification, and all of it needs parental guidance

Also they'll deny trans kids puberty blockers which are proven to be safe and reversible, and the alternative creates harm.

And they'll censor the internet for 'children' (a 17 year old is not a child) to prevent them finding community, support or education outside their IRL religious and harmful bubbles.

It was never about actually protecting children

In America.

Nope, the CA/CO legislation requires that all applications utilize the OS-level age verification API!

This might be a stupid question but when using ashai can you run any normal linux software or does it have to be specifically built for arm64/apple silicon?

Yep

You can build browsers from source. And import open hardware from China. RISCV is getting close to usable, these days.

This also means they are tracking all the websites you are going to.

That was already happening, as the option to block sending and receiving of such content was able to be turned on in your screen time settings, and you could mandate it for your children by managing your kids accounts on the family organizers device. If someone is under the age of 13 they are required to be on a family share, and if you don't have "Ask to Buy" enabled, from what I know you won't get a refund for anything with the excuse my kid bought this without permission.

Overall it all seems logical, but in those scenarios the ages and requirements are mostly all controlled by the parent.

To get a sim card in Australia you need to show identification. There is no anonymity.

Apple already views your images for child porn.

They definitely do. That’s how you can search photos by their content on iOS or android.

where do you think they got the database for their porn generating llms?

Surveillance data

It’s not age verification. It’s identity verification.

There is no way to truly verify age without verifying identity. And then all your data can be linked up accurately.

I mean some shit you find online is pretty grim but when I was a kid I knew the internet was for adults and didn't expect everything to be catered to me. Now the status quo seems to be "every website must be kid/advertiser friendly and PG13 by default, everything else must be locked behind a verification prompt". How did we get here?

Lmao good fucking luck enforcing this on Linux. There's no central authority to handle age verification, and even if there was, it'd take less than a week for someone to make a patched version of whatever tool they use that just... Autoreports that you're an adult no matter what.

Well when we have to comply we can make a build flag everyone shut toggle off...

There are many distros. And you can build kernels from source.

I see you too were born on January 1st 1970.

For sure. Majority of people will happilly take a selfy and send it to whatever company without a second thought.

username checks out

To be clear, these are Apple users. Most of them will take just about any abuse Apple is willing to throw their way.

Wow I just checked when the first purchase was made on my Apple account, turns out it’s old enough to vote

(but not necessarily the Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint desktop).

Rut. Thanks for ruining my day, sigh. That shit better be a patch away from removal / spoofing...

I have a Macbook air now. Do you recommend me to buy a Lenovo thinkpad? Qubes os is the top pick, I heard.

Not buying a car made after 2018.

Not buying electronics made after 2025.

Simple as.

If you ever thought Gavin was anti-Trump, I have news for you 😄

So what's actually going on in Cali for them to have such a douchebag governor?

Fuck Trump tho am I rite?

I'm in canada!

oh i'm not in California, I'm in Egypt. I'm waist deep in denial.

Eventually: must be in Antarctica to use this distro

I would imagine the health app has multiple age groups. Where as an 18+ can probably save and share medical data to doctors or store it in iCloud, it's probably illegal some places for minors to have health data being backed up to Apple's shit.

i accepted this to use a health insurance app. anyway to go back from here?

26.3.1 will be the last version without the mandatory verification

I just installed Graphene OS on my Pixel 6 yesterday and it runs like a champ. You should be able to pick up a used Pixel 6 or newer for pretty cheap as another option
