Arch Linux Says Opposing Age Verification is Code of Conduct Violation (youtube.com)
'Is apparently asking everyone to censor anyone who is opposing age verificatoin in Arch Linux.' 'Yet another example of weaponizing a Code of Conduct in order to silence someone you don't like the opinion of.' No one was swearing, derogatory statements, threatening. Just someone didn't like a code change and expressed that. He said Arch is probably going to go with age verification, and if he's wrong for Arch to contact him.
He noted that if we've learned one thing the past couple weeks (with age verification laws news), it's that people don't want it, and there's been huge boosts in people installing Linux. No one wants this sort of functionality in their system.
Avenix and MidnightBSD have already said if you're in California don't use their system. Or updated their terms of service that residents of Cali or Brazil are 'not authorized to use MidnightBSD.' Artix stated they will never do age verification. Artix doesn't use systemd, which recently merged age verification code into its sourcecode, so it will be present in everything that uses that, so if you update and your OS uses systemd, it'll be pushed onto your computer. There has been an anti-systemd crowd for years.
