the pressure from social media worked. In systemd, age verification has finally been reverted and removed for good. Linux is always for privacy conscious users, it isn't just another Microslop SlopOS github.com/systemd/systemd/pul… thanks @reddy_1975 for the heads up!
EDIT: they rejected the PR. So keep fight on! systemd folks are cowards and enabling this mess.

I just tried installing this, and it broke my eloquence so bad that when NVDA restarted, it switched to the windows one core voices. when I try to switch back to eloquence, I get this error.
Synthesizer Error dialog Could not load the eloquence synthesizer.
Today, I was forced to use the GMail website to fix a problem I was having with messages. I don't care what people say. It's absolutely atrocious and headache-inducing. It's also overly and needlessly complicated, and yes, that includes all the little shortcuts, turning NVDA browse mode off, etc. I switched to Thunderbird 102 when they shut down the Basic HTML site. But today, I thought of something very interesting. Third party clients can access GMail. Why couldn't someone recreate the Basic HTML site, either as a site that retrieves e-mail or as a web application? Apparently, someone already made a concept demonstration of it.

I've also heard that screenshots have been taken of the original pages. If someone could do this, it would be wonderful for the blind community. Yes, Thunderbird works, but sometimes, it's simpler and quicker to just use the site. What I don't know, though, is if setting could be changed that way. I imagine that searching for messages would still work.
Now, if only someone could bring back the Mobile Youtube site from 2017! That was also wonderful and useful, unlike the modern mess!

Just to let you know, we offer Video chat, text chat and unlimited characters in posts and you can control what is searchable across the fediverse if you decide to join us. Also, we use some third parties to handle all of this in the background, to make this functionality possible.

Meta, the evil corp who is behind this, wants everything trackable, starting with your age &d id verification, KYC, & whatnot. it is my computer, & i am not going to be tracked. it is the same reason you use an adblocker

Wasn't the report that published on this revealed to be LLM garbage?

I traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and 45 states of lobbying records to figure out who's behind the age verification bills

The pr was about reverting the changes.

in reply to nixCraft 🐧 • • •this pr was closed by a systemd maintainer for the following reason:
"It's an optional field in the userdb JSON object. It's not a policy engine, not an API for apps. We just define the field, so that it's standardized iff people want to store the date there, but it's entirely optional."
didn't think the FOSS community would be so excited to introduce privacy violations so quickly

in reply to nixCraft 🐧 • • •Huh? The PR says "Closed with unmerged commits" while it only contains one commit.
Unless I'm completely missing something fundamental, this means the opposite of what you're claiming.
