Technology@beehaw.org•Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field
6·23 days agoYeah I guess if someone wanted to set a sort of parental control you’d just make them a user with limited control which we have already ways to do

Technology@beehaw.org•Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field
11·23 days agoIt should be something like date of birth and at what age are they no longer considered a minor, then its hashed and the system will only say if they are to be considered a minor or not but not give any information on the actual dates set or anything. Or like a specific number of years to countdown from instead of a date

Linux@programming.dev•FYI Systemd v261, probably due in May, is the release planned to include the 'birthDate' field.
5·24 days agoI think everyone should pick their battles, but I’m also happy that there are enough people picking this one. I also don’t think this is the hill to die on and don’t think the anger should be solely focused on the Linux Dev community but should be more focused on the people implementing this law in the first place.

Linux@programming.dev•Birthdate field under discussion also in Arch Linux
22·24 days agoI thought it was an optional field, like the name field

For me it was just better support, on my flow z13 bazzite kept freezing the screen, I guess its a reported issue with the display manager. Cachyos doesn’t have that issue probably because its much more up to date so fixes have been applied and they take a while to get to fedora then bazzite
