I never knew who I was. I still don’t know who I am. It doesn’t matter anyway.

    Brazilian here. I’m neither a lawyer nor a specialist, just someone who has read the Portuguese text from the Brazilian flavor of the ongoing worldwide age check set of laws.

    I must note that the Brazilian age check law (Lei 15.211/2025) specifies “vedada a autodeclaração” (English: “self-declaring is forbidden”). This means that this kind of implementation, where age or birthday is an user input, wouldn’t be compliant to Lei 15.211/2025, because it requires the age information to be assessed independently from the user whose age is being assessed. This means face biometrics, government-issued ID (in our case, CPF, CNH, Passaporte and similar) or “behaviorial analysis”… Anything but a “yes I’m 18” or “I was born in day month year”, for those are self-declared and the Law says it’s “not enough”.

    Someone should warn the systemd maintainers of this “Brazilian jabuticaba”.

    I think it’s brazilian portuguese, that is commonly thought on many platforms

    Yeah, pretty much likely.

    I particularly considered it “Portuguese” (as generically as it can go) rather than specifically “Brazilian Portuguese” precisely because the sample text isn’t long enough for me to feel whether it’s more Portuguese, Mozambican, Angolan, Macauan, or Brazilian (with our many regional variations). “Antes / Depois” is pretty much the way all the Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) countries refer to “before / after”.

    It’s worth mentioning how it only differs from Spanish (often mistaken for Portuguese by anglophone people) because of the “depois” (Spanish would be “antes y despúes”)

    I was thinking of these pieces of shit that i know all too dearly:

    Oh, yes, I remember having seen those roof tiles, especially during my early childhood. It’s been a long time since I haven’t seen it. The closest I saw were zinc roof tiles with layers of concrete (brick and mortar is how we often do housing around here, especially in more urbanized environments; it’s fairly common to have rough plaster extending beyond the wall) or lime-based paint (perhaps for better moisture and/or thermal insulation), which may give it an appearance of being made with asbestos fiber.
