2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo in Windows.
- No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
- Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

Its literally a bash script. Dont know how hard that is to maintain at that scale but my guess is not that hard for now
Like I said, why does it have to exist then?
its a protest against the bill passed in california, for californians. if you dont like it, dont use it, its not for you anyways
No law maker is going to look at a unused district fork as a valid protest.
To distribute at scale? Whats easier? Everyone making their own bash script for this or one extremely pissed of guy making his available for everyone? I truly don't understand your rant or hate unless you love corporations pushing age verification onto open source hobbyists to kill them. I read that entire site at Ageless Linux and left with a rock hard erection and hatred. It inspired me. So sorry if you don't feel the same way but Ageless Linux is awesome actually because it lays the emperor bare and naked in every conceivable way.
Either you increase your attack vector by running a bash script and risk breaking your entire repo by changing your $release or youre a dicksucking corpo
Anything else? Or do I have to continue?
In what way? Please, seriously, tell me. If I change my $release to this, does my distro maintainer suddently stop implementing any age stuff? Because honestly I don't think this is how FOSS works. If you don't like it, fork it and maintain it.
Honestly this is just as much a protest as the clippy profile pictures. You can say you did something, but you were just as complacant as those embracing it.
You clearly never even read the site. Gow about you, educate yourself agelesslinux.org
I encourage you to read it and sse what they are doing. Its too.much for me to explain here but in short the bash script.stubs or removes APIs for age verification. They are then handing these out to children as defined by thenlaw as soon as it goes into effect.
Because... Who cares?
