Midnight BSD license prohibiting use in California:

"California residents are not authorized to use MidnightBSD for desktop use in the state of California effective January 1, 2027. California law CA AB1043 requires a complex age verification system implemented for operating systems with no exceptions for small open source projects. At this time, we don't have development time or a plan in place for this."

""404 Media has previously linked RTB-based surveillance to games like Candy Crush and Subway Surfers; dating apps Tinder and Grindr; the social network Tumblr, and the popular fitness app MyFitnessPal. In many cases, the app developers themselves are likely unaware they are acting as a conduit for government surveillance because the data collection is not based on any code the app creators have included themselves."

Age verification for OS installation.

This law was written and passed by people who have no idea how computers or the internet works.

Gavin Newsom should be repeatably kicked in the nuts, run out of town covered in tar and feathers for signing this.

Easy - Windows, Mac, Stock Android (Google).

Hard / Impossible - Linux, legacy OS, Smart Devices, Automation aka Cloud formation? Am I to tell my clients that if they scale up new OS on the fly that each needs to be ID verified?

Very Impossible - Hardware / Low Level OS (network gear, IoT devices, medical devices). You need a local account setting up a Cisco router or switch.

What about air gaped / no internet situations? Would I be prevented from installing an OS if I do not have the internet?

I have a Proxmox cluster full of VMs and containers in my basement. Do I need to get ID verified for each LXC container that has a user account?

What about the rest of the world? So fucking stupid and myopic.

It's official! This Sunday will be the last "leap forward" in BC!

As of next November, the Vancouver time zone in British Columbia, Canada will be referred to as "Pacific Time" and will be -7GMT permanently. (same as Yukon Territory which did this 2 years ago)

The presser was pretty cute actually. They had kids with little clocks, and they danced.

I would have preferred staying at Standard Time, but this will be ok too. It's interesting that Premier Eby made a point of (gently, as there were kids) insisting the delay of 6 years since the overwhelming survey response from British Columbians to eliminate the time change was due to waiting for the US West Coast states to do the same.

Now, BC has decided to push, and to lead by example.

About the Age Verification bills in California and Colorado:

It seems few people are actually bothering to read the bills and instead just want to scream while running around in circles. Neither of the bills are mandating you give your ID/Face-Scan/Transactional Documents/etc. to be able to setup your computer.

The only thing you give is your birth-date/age, you are assigned an age-category, and apps and websites respond accordingly.

Don't get me wrong, there are still valid concerns about these bills, but few are actually discussing those concerns. Most are just assuming the worst and panicking.

Also, I don't know how these bills would be enforceable on Linux (or any decentralized, FOSS ecosystem).

Hey — you already know about CalPrivacy’s new Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP) that will scrub your info from data brokers’ lists starting Aug. 1.

https://privacy.ca.gov/drop/

When submitting your request, some info is optional. For example, in addition to name, email, DOB… you can provide vehicle VINs and smartphone/TV tracking IDs.

It's all optional, but the more you provide, the more thorough the scrubbing! 🧼

HOWEVER, I was concerned: What if I provided ALL of this info, and then an unscrupulous data broker (hahaha, they are all unscrupulous) actually used all that info to link me to my devices and vehicles, when they had not yet previously.

nightmare, right??

Good morning. Guess who has an opinion on the US dollar?
Beavis and Butthead.
"Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, in an interview, said USD1 stablecoin will “preserve dollar hegemony.”
The Trump brothers also sat down with ’s “Squawk on the Street.”

Of course, this is all against the and only possible because their father used . All of this Trump EO disaster can be "un-fucked" in a single year of rational leadership.

RememberUsAlways OP ,

Now I'm hearing the CEO of on try to avoid paying in because "future builders".
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The cadre of wealthy prostitutes are welcome to move to any state they would like to ruin because their sad threats will die with their reputation.
If I had any authority, I would dismantle the political CEO with no structure in and auction their corporate services for parts.
