It was a weak attempt to keep relevance when faced against Gemini and Claude. But it’s completely unnecessary now that OpenAI has contracted with the government. They get all that sweet tax payer money and get to repurpose a ton of GPUs making stupid videos to supporting that new gov contract.
I’m running Linux, so I’m also completely unaffected by this.
I think it’s blatantly obvious we weren’t born on January 1970, year 1. January only has 30 days, not 1970.
That reads a lot like McDonald’s ceo
eating a burgerconsuming a product.

They’d have to fork from early Windows 10. There’s so much garbage introduced by humans at that point, nevermindLLMs.
But on the other hand, Windows is a dead and broken product to me. So I don’t care.
“fine, it will cull the moron genes from the pool”.
The issue with this is that most people will be ok, or at least alive but injured.
It actually had the opposite effect. Most people won’t die, so then they get confirmation bias and will then start spreading the misinformation themselves saying “I didn’t take the medicine and I’m fine!” Or even use their kids as proof for other parents.
It’s a snowball effect.
That’s a form of 2 factor auth, but that’s not what all 2 factor auth is. There are many services that use 2fA time based tokens, or other methods. Any service that uses your phone number for 2FA is actively making the security on your account worse.
No forced 2 factor authorization that is an excuse to grab your personal information to sell it.
What?
Contact your representative
Right, so that they can ask if I’m stoned or stupid for asking them to affect laws in another country?
It’s being added as a response to the age verification laws with the intended purpose to provide the age signal.
It’s age verification/attestation.
I was ambivalent about systemd up until now. If this gets merged I’m moving to a non-systemd distro. I do not live in California or even the USA. I do not want age verification garbage in my OS.
Irrelevant to my point
The idea that one of these is vastly and objectively superior to all others is just pseudo-religious nonsense.
You can get a job and make a living in just about any country. But the quality of life differences and how comfortable of a living you can make are gonna be vastly different.
Can we even trust those numbers at this point?
Basil Fawlty had a similar rule.
trying to solve a parenting problem with technology
That was never the goal, just the excuse.
Gonna be weird to age verify yourself to use a smart thermostat.
It was never about that. There’s already been a lot of instability in Iran (massive water shortages) and this was just an opportunity to put their foot on Iran’s neck to cause even more instability. With that instability created and oil prices going up, it will cause global inflation. With things becoming priced out for regular people it will cause some markets to crash, then the ultra rich will buy up those things and consolidate even more wealth and power.
This guy has completely lost the plot. I don’t think it’s possible to be even more disconnected from reality.
