That's just a joke about the potential ways to make fun of absurd laws and these are the ways I can think of RIGHT NOW. Gosh knows how many others I haven't even thought of yet... :D Feel free to add more ways (days) to it.

Day 0: The governor announced the order for age verification in systemd.
Day 1: The governor said they were gonna send people to manually check that entered data was true.
Day 2: Uninstall the entire desktop and then "Sorry, governor, I don't have a desktop, thus I have no way to enter age".
Day 3: The governor said the police was gonna send SWAT teams to check whether people really have no desktops. The most obvious way would be to check /var/log/pacman.log, but we're ready for that too.

Code:
sudo rm /var/log/pacman.log
sudo touch /var/log/pacman.log
sudo chmod +i /var/log/pacman.log

I have a feeling the SWAT teams are gonna look like SWAP teams when they see my empty paclog. I might even uninstall pacman too - just in case. Dad already made a backup, so I can do whatever I want.
Day 4: My dad just had a great idea: compile systemd from source but before that find and remove the code for the age verification. Good luck, governor, that's just the beginning!
Day 5: Someone suggested installing a firewall to block systemd's outbound connections but that's too much work. Besides, we already compiled it from source which is a lot easier than manually blocking or unblocking every single executable in the system. When compiled from source, it won't update unless we explicitly do that.
Day 6: My mom suggested we use a useragent for the browser that presents us as Spyware users.
(...)
Day 320: The governor is tired, his hair has become whiter than ever, he stammers when speaking and has hallucinations about being chased and eaten by a monster whose body is made of green numbers. Eventually he sees it's pointless and abolishes his own law because linux users keep finding more and more creative ways to make fun of his ridiculous orders. :D

Not a discussion. It's to come up with ways to counter it, the funnier the better. But... I can't be responsible about what others will write here.

I was aware of that, that's why I was just mentioning it that if others turn it into that it will be locked.
