If you can feel a very small tinge of existential horror when you read the words “try to”, congratulations, you’re a true *nix devotee.

If legislators get grumpy about this, just gently thwap them with your handy copy of The Unix Haters Handbook and tell them you’re working as hard as you can under the circumstances.

      Sorry to break it for you, but this is going to have to be implemented at OS level, thanks to California and other following surveillance States arourd the world. You can’t just use «a different application».

        Not correct at all.

        Even in the USA there are 3 different templates for the bill, and they handle age verification requirements at different levels

        • os
        • app store
        • app

        Different states are adopting different templates, and alphabet lobbyists are spending ludicrous amounts of money to make sure they’re not the ones responsible for billions in fines.

        Didn’t Texas and Florida start this? California just has more “tech literate” politicians.

      if only it were that simple in a social and professional context

      i’ll choose linux + a user age metadata standard that’s technically compliant + shit professional application that i have no choice but to use - over windows + exactly that same application any day of the week

      This. And since we are already in the land of geeks, I’ll find a way to write one if none acceptable exists
