MidnightBSD was one of the first to introduce age delcaration code. And Ageless is just Debian with the name changed. Might be a bit out of line to say they are doing anything against age verification.
Meanwhile System76 has actively pushed back against age verification laws and may have an exemption lined up in Colorado and is nowhere in this image.
E.g., Garuda Linux has stated on March 9th they »will continue to comply with local regulations in Finland and Germany (where the servers are hosted and the donation funds are held)«, so their "resistance" is strictly limited to Californian law, not to OS-level age verification, per se.
Hey. We have no operations in California. Last time I checked, California law does not (yet) apply where I live, therefore, Garuda Linux will continue to comply with local regulations in Finland and Germany (where the servers are hosted and the dona…
I'm still completely in shock that one person in systemd has decided arbitrarily to do this, is just pushing PRs through all over the place, and pretty much only has Claude to decide whether or not to approve them. Any opposition gets silenced with the threads just being closed because they're too inconvenient to moderate even though this is a really really big decision that affects... practically everything Linux...
Honestly, systemd was already way out of scope. It's pretty much universally hated and it keeps taking it upon itself to do various things it shouldn't (like adding DNS handling for some reason. Why does something whose only purpose is to handle init and service starting/stopping running its own DNS handling?)
wrong approach, malicious compliance is the way to go when the governments enact stupid legislations. Now a law can be passed on top to make anyone using a non compliant OS a criminal, are these orgs going to help out any of their users who get caught out?.
This release includes security fixes, amd cppc driver and a new age attestation daemon.
aged(8) and agectl(8) programs added. aged will run at startup unless it is disabled in /etc/rc.conf.

MidnighBSD has already announced on March 9th »We've implemented about 1/3 of the california/colorado/illinois law.«
Please verify your statements, and retract this post.
