I said this back when windows 10 came out and "offered" Microsoft logins while also having an always-on keylogger but the government will 100% check who logs in and checks what they do on their OS. California wants to force this on Linux even (impossible lol). Stop using windows 11 for anything but your office job you retards

@teto the law says you have to ask for age on account setup and have to have an API for applications to get the age of the current user, things that Linux already has

@teto strictly speaking the law requires age brackets which linux doesn't support but any application can just get the exact birthday of a user

@sun@shitposter.world @teto@cawfee.club why would this apply to linux? i thought it applied towards operating systems.

@lolitechengineer @sun it won't apply to Linux. It's impossible to do the Microsoft style account shit there.

@teto @lolitechengineer the /etc/passwd scheme already can hold a birthday

@sun @lolitechengineer the shit a government expects to be provided here is not a simple text file on your computer. Whatever think what you want

@teto@cawfee.club @sun@shitposter.world none of this really matters. no reasonable person would reside in california anyway. nothing of value is lost.

@lolitechengineer @teto yeah realistically this only applies to os companies that have a legal presence in california or are a contractor or vendor for california.

@sun @lolitechengineer @teto assuming the MidnightBSD approach becomes widespread, doing business in colofornia could require the use of MacOS or Windows.
