Yes, I get that they may want verification with government ID… but unless they do it at a firmware level, anything above a FOSS Linux kernel on my own unlocked hardware, is fully under my control.

So far, it sounds to me like “age verif theatre” as applied to single user “jailbroken” systems. If they added this on a locked down Android system, as a requirement for network access (note: this is an actual proposal being floated around) then that would be of some concern… but systemd? 🤨

QUESTION: if I run my own system with local accounts, full root access, and no remote accounts… why should I care about whether systemd “MAY BE ABLE” to store someone’s date of birth?

Sounds to me like, for all I care, they could add fields for ethnicity, religion, d size, political orientation, colonic maps, or whatever else they want.

If it’s to build systems shared with underage family members, schools, or other public system… I personally DGAF.

What are those dream cycle and memory consolidation it’s using?

AGI sounds like BS (by definition)… but what’s behind the buzzword? This guy is supposed to be smart, might as well have built some stuff around an LLM that makes it leap forward.
