Here’s what you see here in Mississippi when trying to access Bluesky.

Read the full statement from from the link below. The law is not about protecting kids at all. This law and all others like it are a gateway to exert wider control over the masses in an ongoing authoritarian and fascist Republican party. What BluSky is doing is the right thing to do.

For years, I annually bought a new top-of-the-line Pixel phone, with few regrets. But I stopped after the Pixel 8, because Google started force-feeding its "AI" slop to customers as THE key feature.

The latest models look intriguing, but are even more crappified with "AI". So, no sale, again.

I recommend looking into using the alternative OS for Pixel phones made by, and named as @GrapheneOS
It is not as intimidating as it used to be to swap the OS. They have a browser based installer that is, more or less, plug and play.
Once installed, use their app store to install a sandboxed version of the Google Play Service and Google Play Store. You're basically back where you started, but with more control and privacy over the AI and other BS they push.

@itsfoss
Terminator and/or Gnome Console with Bash.
I use both consistently.

GitBash on Windows used in Windows Terminal ... When I have to use Windows.

iTerm2 when I used MacOS and ZSH. If I have to use a Mac consistently, I switch to Bash.

to my followers (all 3 of you), I have moved instances from @fosstodon.org to, well, here @infosec.exchange!

Be safe, be well, stay informed, do not consent in advance.

Also, FAANG companies are not your friends, find more secure and privacy focused services. 😃
