I look forward to having to age verify the dbus and chrony and root accounts on every linux-based "smart" device in the future. That should be fun.

Will my children be able to use my smart oven/thermostat after I verify I'm 18+ on those devices?

I also wonder what verification will look like for containers and and VMs that might have a short life. Maybe that's how we keep IT jobs for a little while longer? Human age verification on every local account every time a container or VM is spun up.

Obviously it does not make sense to age verify root stuff. Also as root you can set whatever age you want to your accounts.

I agree, but the law is pretty vague. Root is a user on an operating system on a general purpose computer after all.
