LOL Good luck verifying hundreds of millions of automated vms on the world, millions of which get created daily like GitHub actions. They're a snapshot, but still someone gotta do it one time. It's really redicolous to imagine how broad the scale of problems would be and how easy it woul be t bypass.

Yeah age checks for the OS are never happening.

#23

why do governments always push, oh wait, I forgot, they have nothing better to do with there time than to have people restricted from all there devices xd

Because they want the data. Who is doing what, using what, and where even?

The government is not your friend. Not evan an aquaintance
All that I survey, I could easily destroy. From time to time, it is important to remind these small creatures of the true extent of my power.

Typical thug actions, and more to follow I'm sure.

I find it absolutely useless, stupid and what have you, but I still did it, otherwise for some reason I was locked out of my phone. Thank God I am an android user and my iPhone is just a streaming camera.
And they scream, the worst things in life come free to us.

Even when I'm a little older and a little wiser now, I still think that these age checks are stupid and not needed. Sure, in some scenarios, yes, but everyday things like phones? No, they are simply not needed. Why do I need to verify my age just to use my phone? That, my friends, is the golden question.

#29

See post 24, they do it to know everything about you.

Why, though? Why do they want my data? Why do they wanna know everything about me? So what? They can come to my house and shoot me or whatever? These companies are so stupid. Even if they have all of the information about me, like I said, what are they going to do with it?

ermhmhmhmhmhmhm, lets see, store it in an unencripted database? Oh, we delete the data after a few days, get the heck out with that, we all know that's a big fat lie. Especially considering all the major hacks we get like for example with discord. And they use persona which is very freaking shady at best.

Many governments around the world showed their true colours between 2020 and 2022. They are willing to go to extreme lengths to control the population.

ok now I'm actually curious... so before the age check catastrophy what did we have to put up with in the case of those governments?

The COVID hysteria, and that's all it was, social distancing, masks, you name it. Thugs in action big time!

well, update, now it is comeing to windows. turn updates of. or switch to linux

#37

Source please?

#38

pretty much half the population relies on windows. If we all moved to linux we'd have to learn some few things because terminals and whatnot. Not to mention the gnome setup interface is just not the best (I can confirm that because my ubuntu 20.x VM doesn't let me through the setup window after login) as the only other button is next.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTSC is what I recommend, tested and works great. Can't tell anything about 26.04, I heard they broke it a bit there. Anyway, I read a lot of tech related things and it has showed up nowhere, so I suspect it's more like a romour rather than something actually confirmed. I honestly don't think they'll push through with this s early, they're already at quite bad of a reputation and wanted to fix a lot of things rather than introduce new features. Apart of that, there always will be possibilities to bypass, be it LTSC versions, Linux, automated installation with an unattended file, and so on. Simply because microsoft has to do that themselves for many things.

I never have to do age verification. Probably because my Google and Apple accounts were like 10 years now And I'm 21.
