GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification or an account. GrapheneOS and our services will remain available internationally. If GrapheneOS devices can’t be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.
Just saw a report yesterday that systemd will implement age verification, meaning it might not be up to the distros.
Its just storing a date you tell it is your birthday. Nothing more than an age gate that can easily be lied to.
Honestly just have your distro zero accounts out to 00:00:00-1970-01-01 by default.
Might not be up to the distros?
Most distros already have a non-systemd variant out there.
And systemd is also open source; if age verification is baked in, people can just modify it to always return a positive result.
Time to replace systemd, I guess.
Easiest solution is to just fork it rather than replacing it entirely
nah, patch it out if it becomes an issue (x doubt)
May go the Gentoo route. majority of my friends use that as their primary os. peer pressure + compiling your OS is fun
I just did that yesterday, definitely a more involved setup but I really like it so far. I wanted to ditch systemd for a few reasons but this recent news finally gave me the motivation.
Time to go back to init.d
No, they won’t. They added an age field to the user profile, right next to name, etc. It’s there in case systems want to use it.
