People using imgur is so tiresome, because we can't view it in the UK!

Here you go:

Thanks muchly.

Funny thing about linux, is it's unenforceable. Even if you get the big distros like ubuntu onboard, someone will make FUbuntu. Even if you get the age crap into the kernel, someone will make FUKernel without it.

That's the beauty of FOSS. Even if someone doesn't make those things, I can. There are tons of guides on how to compile your own linux kernel and make your own linux distro.

Plus, who's age are they going to use for the root user on 99% of the servers in the world?

5mins after a solution is proposed, some 16yr old is going to vibe-code a stub that whenever queried will return the age of 67.

I think the best way to quickly make this check completely useless isn't to rip it out entirely, but to make the kernel generate a random age between 21-99 every time an application requests it.

Plus, who’s age are they going to use for the root user on 99% of the servers in the world?

They don't care about those, unless they happen to be owned and operated by an individual, because those generate valuable data and concretely tying it down to a specific person would be a gold mine. And by they I don't mean the politicians, but the marketing lizards and control freaks (cough cough Peter Thiel) who's bidding the politicians are doing.

Nevertheless Its concerning the average person would just pull out their id and just give it up to move on with their daily life.
