[EU 'age verification'] [Spec]: Proposal to introduce a mandatory alternative that does not require a specific OS. in c/linux@lemmy.world

What IS going to convince them then? I am NOT using Android or iOS.

The thing is that while the EU standard does not limit hardware platforms, it does not mandate neutrality, so I can expect member states to only implement Android/iOS. In any case, I will not use that.

It needs 'hardware attestation', so a closed set of OS. It would be much better without any age verification.

I don't want it, but if it does exist, it should be open!

Yes, it is my post, and I am trying to find a reason why it won't work. Sadly, without such a solution, it will be impossible to use many Internet services without having an Android/iOS.

Too often I see desktops where the only two graphical apps are some ultralight terminal and Mozilla. Why do they want to suffer?
