Wow, picking choice words only in sections of the laws and proposals. At least try and engage in honest discussion, mate,

Honestly, just go check Ageless Linux’s site. They have a complete rundown on how and where does each law’s expectation come from.

Just one (1) example:

SB 142 — App Store Accountability Act

Requires “commercially reasonable” method. In other words, the powerful agents of the market (the Googles, the Facebooks, the NSAs) get to choose what you have to do to validate. Could even require biometrics.

there’s no alien intelligence or protocol specification in systemd that ensures or says the dob field must be accurate either

That’s because systemd, a well-known Microslop infection into the Linux ecosystem, is using the wayland playbook: specify nothing, leave to other projects the task and legal weight of implementation. All systemd has to do is to ship the field, then other projects are delegated the task of entering in a “legally compliant” way.

…Have you eve been following the news and the law proposals? I’m not sure you are engaging in good faith here.

Are you sure? LGPL and other *PL licenses do already include terms where the rights and privileges granted by the license are limited by local applicable law, and this would be simply a case of denoting one of a number of local laws that apply.

Yeah they seem to be absolutely fun.

There’s no need to follow an unjust law, nor a law that makes you an unethical person.

“Software not for distribution or use in California” (aka: “offer void in Nebraska”) is a perfectly valid compliance, btw.

Fields like name and location do not have any expectation for the information being valid or accurate (see eg.: adduser).

DOB is different. It comes from a legal expectation that correctness of the information will be enforced somehow. If going by the Colorado and NY law proposals, IIRC, by using biometrics at the time of system install.

You guys have employers?

My very cursory understanding is that there is a subset of PDF that is open, something called PDF-A I think, at least enough that it’s used for archival. Source: my fingers, fingling on the keyboard.

Consider the following:

On the one hand. Slavery got repurposed and repackaged in a nice 9-to-5 format - 8 hours, so that we’d stop complaining. Compared to that, spending let’s say two hours on videogames is defo not bad.

On the other hand, we’re talking about Roblox, one of the largest brainrots around. There’s defo better stuff to engage in.

Hexchat dead? I just checked on Sid and it’s available. Heck, I forgot I had it installed.

Where’s the emotion of the hunt in that!!!

Trump has already shown that greenness of cards means nothing to him, so it’s not like these people would be losing any immigration safe ground by not suing.

Same place as Facebook: already in the pockets.

Even better if it can be run on Podman, since you won’t need a potential root access and hook to set up the containers in the first place, and UID mapping on podman rootless will pretty much guarantee that the user IDs the process gets are not mapped to any real user in your system.

They use Arch btw!
