Mandatory age verification may just be the smoking gun that pushes people towards Linux.
And it’s good this exemption got added. Enforcing this upon the FOSS community is inevitably going to be a shitshow.
User verification is bad
This makes it less so
Massive props to System76 for spearheading the resistance and getting these carveouts.
This kinda shit is only gonna get worse going forward and we will need coordinated counter lobbying to continue to resist this.
Windows and macOS going open source imminent /J
Darwin (macOS core system) is open-source. So this is actually possible.
I actually didn’t realize Darwin itself was open 😲
Sir, you’re under arrest for not adding age verification to your LFS build. 🚓
Now that I thought about that - it gets kinda funny since most non-open source operating systems already have some sorts of age verification. Microsoft, for example, already knows user’s birth date in majority of cases. And degoogling one’s Android phone also leads up to a open source operation system in there.
