Oh boy, it's this guy _again_.

At this point, I expect that his main motivation is becoming viral.

"I'll let the system admin set a birthday for the user" is exactly how Linux should comply with this legislation. That is what this does.

I disagree with this law. I like that https://agelesslinux.org/ is challenging it. Expecting the rest of Linux ecosystem to actively NOT comply with a law isn't the right response.

Where do you draw the line? Compliance with every law that every country passes?

So every distro out there has a GOAL it exists for a REASON. If achieving that reason requires that compliance. Then comply.

Ageless Linux exists for a simple reason. It does not comply for the benefit of that reason.

Every other Linux distro has different goals. Thats why they exist.
