New state laws are pushing age verification into macOS and Windows. By 2027, logging in might require a facial scan or government ID.

This is unacceptable. And I’m sick of all the fucking workarounds to maintain basic privacy.

I disabled updates on my Windows 10 PC 2 years ago and am slowly trying to migrate to Linux, so as long as i don't update to the update that introduces that malware i'll be fine and anything that requires age verification (apps, games) can fuck off and if you want to say "how do you intend to bypass it new stuff" i'll only say ahoy matey and governments that want to force me to do it can eat shit and get nuked into oblivion.

It's not "child safety" when the ones pushing it are known rich pedophiles and call it what it is control and enslavement.

I switched to Linux Mint when they retired Win7. Never going back.

I never had to switch to Linux/BSD. I wasn't even on DOS.

Now is this time to get a secondary ID to bypass all this nonsense.
