just add a flag to the OS
What a fucking stupid, impossible, idea.
Like, explain to me how you think this could be done meaningfully other than some setting that can just be arbitrarily flipped without adding massive complexity.
- drivebyhooting 2mo agoHow is it impossible? The OS already advertises which codecs and cyphers it accepts. Is adding an age flag a bridge too far? And arbitrarily changed? Can a regular user arbitrarily change the super user password?
- mikestew 2mo agoWhat complexity do you imagine here? Put it behind ACLs or some other permissions scheme. I could almost believe you’re being sarcastic or trolling.
- inigyou 2mo agoWhy would you exclude the obvious implementation from consideration? You missed one point though: you have to be superuser to change the flag. This is literally already the law in California and Illinois.
