I love the idea of it but literally struggle to play it with my child I can’t stand builder games rather be playing Lego’s at that point.

But I still do it because she loves it.

Or maybe the government who punishes people for breaking the law shouldn’t break the damn law and put those peoples lives in danger themselves doing so.

“Will lawmakers protect the privacy of its citizens”

No. And we have known since Snowden.

The us mitaty has always been known for its insane attention to detail with logistics. This is a clear sign that this administration is incompetent.

I’d love to see the glittery plastic bitch who proposed this having nothing to eat except this meal for a month. Her and her children.

I bet you they could not do it. They would be pawning their pearls for “another item” I fucking hate these assholes.

“YOU CANT FIRE ME I QUIT!”

Just eosh he’d die already man for real. Fuck.

Hideo Kojimi and Mark Cerny are a couple that come to mind but yeah not a whole whole lot of them do.

Edit: damn upon looking them up though I honestly expected both of them to be worth a hubdred or two hundred million but its actually $30 to $50 million which I mean don’t get me wrong no one is upset making money like that but damn I honestly am super surprised it isn’t higher especially the fact that Cerny designed the ps4 and ps5.

Yeah both are good points actually you’re probably right

He sure was a big ol’ dick about it I will admit. Saying anyone who disagreed was a bot or Russian troll really pissed me off at the time.

Its supposed to be open.

Yeah the fact that this “guy” wouldn’t be on video or audio even with the guy interviewing him and only did DMs furthers my suspicion that this dude is straight up a bot or a group of people working for a company.

Seriously, has anyone ever seen or heard this person? He has a blog and stuff where he parrots Google talking points and the like.

Weird doing an interview all by DMs honestly.

I imagine they’re thinking, “Well we will see what the new vote next month has to say about that!”

So far I have Ageless and regular Debian but the Debian devs haven’t taken a hard stance either way yet, that’s still better than taking a stance for it. At least there is some resistance. Adenix as well.

And while not Linux I’m about to install freeBSD on a spare laptop as well and if they take a stance for it I’ll use MidnightBSD or GhostBSD.

You control what you install on your pc and I’d be willing to bet that whatever open source OS it is, probably uses Systemd. Unless you’re a Unix person.

They have set this up in a way that yes, right now at 11:21pm UTC on March 24th it isn’t being enforced or required.

But because of the replies of some of the maintainers in their github about this very merge they are suggesting that as soon as it becomes hard law, it will be enforced by them.

Particularly the part where one was replying to a system76 developer who mentioned that they are in talks with state legislators right now, that these proposed laws are very possibly going to be overturned, and that open source software might not even be required to do this at all and that we should give it more tim before we do something like this and the reply was:

“It is possible that California law will be changed. But similar ideas are popping up in other contexts and it’s unlikely that they’ll all go away. This implementation is fairly generic and useful for other things besides age verification, so we shouldn’t decide whether to merge it or not based on a single law in any jurisdiction.”

This suggests that they are doing this because of laws and ideas like this that are coming into play. And that they didn’t want to wait on the confirmation of whether it was law or not, they did it anyway. Why? That’s not very open. That isn’t really taking a stand to support Linux or its users that is voluntarily getting ahead of the control mechanism that “similar ideas” are going to use.

They shouldn’t have done this. In mine, and many, many other peoples opinions as well.

I already have the distros downloaded that are against this.

If it comes for my favorite distro that I use everyday I will immediately uninstall it and instance one of the ones that isn’t bending over to let Uncle Sam and others take them from behind.

All they had to do was say they wouldn’t support people from the places that those laws were or would be enacted in. That’s it. That’s all they fucking had to do.

I will also add that it disappoints me so so much that so many of my fellow Linux enthusiasts aren’t more upset or even just plain old cautious about this.

It actually hurts my head to think about. I don’t get it. Don’t we all usually have about the same goals in mind with this? Open, meaning not invasive. Not windows (spyware) and no telemetry meaning privacy respecting?

What the fuck is happening?

Lol @ the thumbnail.

As far as I can tell the Name Email and location are all voluntarily provided by the user.

This is something that will be used whether you want it to or not (that makes it invasive) because of the laws around it (of course depending on where you are).

Having fields I can ignore as a user isn’t the same as this guided attempt by lawmakers to eventually get you to give ID and retina scans just to use a computer.

This is step 1. That is why people are freaking out about it.

And I know systemd isn’t doing this out of spite, but I do wish the scene would stand up for the user more… Just say no California or whatever other shit place decides to enact that and boom problem solved. Not their fault or problem anymore.

Yooo thank you!! I’m going to look into this

Problem with newpipe is you can’t login so every other video is age restricted and you can’t view or listen to it.

I am thinking about revanced anyway but graphene’s devs also go on and on about how that is a security hole as well.

Chuck Norris was a dickhead. And likely a racist.

However making jokes that are in the style of the old Chuck Norris jokes is funny.

But of course since he was a dickbag people on social media think you shouldn’t talk about him at all, making jokes or otherwise. Even if you mention he was a dickbag.

Kind of reminds me of the way children act.

Chess players just trying to feel something.
