this is not a checkbox, but a date field. and the hard part is, KDE needs to implement it, other desktops need to implement it too, and somehow it has to be fit into the existing linux user database that does not have a dedicated place for information like this.
it also means using older operating systems became illegal, including windows 7, xp, etc. including, if you just happen to have an old unused computer with an OS that does not yet support this thing.
Im not saying it’s not a shitty system. Its sucks from the top down. But I would rather type a date once and have one company hold onto that than enter my id or face onto every platform I visit and have several companies hold onto that data.
Also dont be pedantic you fuck, a date field is just a fuckton of checkboxes that is easier to use.
where did I say a date field is hard to use? or how is this relevant?
The ‘easier to use’ is a descriptor for how a date field works. Im not implying that you said a date field is difficult. I’m explaining what a date field is in a very watered down, very layman-esque way.
Its not relevant. And yet you still brought it up. It doesnt matter to the conversation at all, similar to how checkbox vs date field doesn’t matter to the conversation at all.

Yeah but like… The alternative is worse.
