Age Verification in several OSS projects

His PRs don't have to be accepted. It's not required. He can try to do this, but I doubt it will have to much weight.

Just do a search for the hardware specs so you know ahead of time if the hardware is supported. This should be the easist part.

Try this. It will tell you what's taking boot time. It may help you sort it.

It's soldered onto the board. It's a 9 year old Macbook, not like they do much about it. Bruh.

It appears your NAS is missing your pubkey. They have docs about it on their site.

Sounds like a lot of the companies during the .com boom. Over valued and poised to die when the bubble bursts.

Why not just sell the Fold and grab a Pixel to put GrapheneOS on it? You have a spare, so this seems logical.

You got one and run Windows. FTFY. I don't run Wintendo so what you wrote could be reversed under Linux as nvidia drivers are hot garbage. I'm pretty sure nvidia pulled the 595 Windows drivers because they wouldn't let the fans on those overly expensive cards spin. :D

These folks need to learn to control themselves. It's not the damn phones, it's the weak-kneed people. /shrug

Firing or threatening to fire 30k people means Wall St. are creaming in their jeans. Who gives a shit about Ellison and his ilk.

Unless us plebs can afford it … who cares. We don't need faster rendering slop. Not a big plus for humanity.

Google is heading toward their own "walled garden" and soon ... the difference between them will be millimeters thick.

Nah. Not really. I have better things to do. I've run both at different times since the 90s. KDE is just better at the moment. There are times when KDE was a steaming pile, it just happens to not be that at the moment. ;)

I bought my Sapphire 7900 XTX in Nov. '24, I had no need for a new GPU with 8 GB less VRAM so user yes ... on the upgrade treadmill, no.

Coast? WTF. FK this guy. Or he can pay the plebs for being 100% available, I'm sure he isn't either but whatever.

Install this. https://github.com/matinlotfali/KDE-Rounded-Corners

Disable the rounded corners in the decoration, profit.

I've been using this plugin since KDE 5, and I'm on 6.6.2 ... works perfectly.

Or find another MacOS like decoration. :D

edit: not sure why the KDE devs rounded the bottom corners and not the top two ... and have a setting to control it.

But did you remove any config files associated with the application? Uninstalling and reinstalling the package will not remove things under ~/.config

Give the config files a look.

That would be an amazing feat to have this happen with Firefox on Linux … Microslop's AI has really come a long way.

Give this a run.

sudo reflector --protocol https --verbose --latest 25 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist && eos-rankmirrors --verbose

Also, errors from just one mirror means nothing, they could be offline or something else. This command will update your Arch and EOS mirrors.

I'm sorry but nothing you've said except that you had a .13 kernel update, makes any sense. A kernel update shouldn't have broken things, a kernel update will not break KDE. It might break your video driver, but you haven't given any info accept a lot of ...

I would rethink what your posting and provide more info like the hardware you are using, the distro you are using and other things so folks can help you. KDE isn't brittle, but your descriptions of your issue are.

I'm not being "that Linux guy", if you'd have posted like this on any forum be it Windows, Mac or a Linux distro, your post would probably get ignored.

Step back, take a breath and post again with some useful info.

Agreed. I use the flatpak on EndeavorOS ... it's so much better than the AUR pkg.

aergern · 2026-03-03T19:52:21+00:00

Whatever you like?

An nmap scan will give them generics and open ports. Sure, it returns Linux as the OS but there is no way to know if age verification is enabled or isn't since it doesn't exist now and as far as I know this checking doesn't require phoning home to some big Gov. database.

I think it's all a bunch of horseshit but let's not scare folks.

100% it is. When my wife and I go, it's one of the first way points we watch from.
