Good for you then :)

Wait, you mean client-side anticheat is not some holy unbreakable barrier? I am shocked (sarcasm)

it’s one vote per dollar instead of one vote per person.

Damn that is well-said

All that happened was systemd management going “this politically motivated change is ok, that politically motivated change is not ok”. No amount of “dis is opshionall” is going to change them being idiots at best and agents of ill will at worst

Nah. What is funny is a pull-request explicitly stating compliance with age verification laws getting merged and then revert refused with a “don’t bring this discussion here” argument. This is where Lennart has lost me, with that bullshit of an excuse

Oh no, “child protection” was never about protecting children? I am shocked, shocked

Being half a world away from Americas is pretty easy, don’t ya think?

To be fair, I am bit split on this. On one hand, name and shame is an effective strategy and should be used. On the other hand, “put age verification into Linux” is a hilarious stretch. And yes, it feels strange that I have yet to see any kind of response from other systemd maintainers and managers - after all, the man authored a pull-request, not merged into into upstream. I have not been looking for that kind of response myself though, which also serves your point: putting all the blame and anger on this one man (I purposefully omit name) is too much

I care. One thing is “you know, fields with this name have been around since before you were born”, another thing is “some idiots passed the law half the globe away, now we are preparing your system to comply. Someone has to ©”. The field is not the danger, the thinking, attitude and act is

Edit: some local law, for fuck’s sake

So maybe next time when someone sees a pull-request like this, they think before merging it?

*provided no one gets hurt. I sympathise with the uproar, but physically hurting the guy is definitely too much

Uhm, wat. Had to implement, worldwide? Da fuck are you talking about?

Stored “because law”, right?

Clipchamp? Sheesh. Waiting for “apps” called Yo, Bruh and so on

Did I just find next distro to try? :) Kudos to them anyway (yay, that’s the kind of news I want to hear)

Made me chuckle)

Unlikely, sure lol. Once again: I am not giving an llm write acess to prod

Wat. Since when do I need AI to setup infrastructure?

Nah. As a tech people, I am not going to give an llm write access to anything in production, period

Oh, I have one solution in mind. Two, actually:

• leave California
• ask some questions ™ to authors of the bill. Like who is going to benefit from this, who was paid how much for what etc.

Humans have used nukes. So… eh? Where is the surprise?
