Yesssss!

I’m am so ready, Reikon knows how to cook!

Edit: Oh shit! Co-Op? BARK BARK BARK

I’d like you to realize that “the USA who is the least likely country to implement these laws” is literally the opposite of current reality.

They are making some of the greatest efforts to make legally mandated user and age tracking a thing, as well as legally mandated user identity based content-gating.

…

So this is not a concern to you?

The fact that there are people in leadership positions that want this, and have reasons why they want this, is below note. And not worth opposing?

This will lead to infrastructure, that should not exist, existing.

That it can be avoided is not a solution. It should not be built in the first place.

Is your argument really “this won’t affect linux, so it doesn’t matter” ? At the very least, FOSS development by anyone in California will be a problem, as the law quite literally names “persons” as potentially liable.

The reality remains, the US is the most thirsty for this kind of thing. Not the least.

And they are already working on an even more overreaching version that will close loopholes in the current legalese.

Windows, and any other OS will be illegal in California unless it implements this.

Apple, for one, is headquartered in California.

So, the OS wont work until the user verifies their age somehow.

Moreover, even if an OS somehow could know the users age - that doesn’t automatically mean all other software that exists automatically reads it and responds to it as necessary. Does the law compel anyone making software to recognise this?

Did you not read my comment? Anyone writing software for an OS that implements this, can be sued (in California) if their application ignores the API signals from the OS and allows access to age-restricted content.

Or is your argument really “this won’t affect linux, so it doesn’t matter” ? At the very least, FOSS development by anyone in California will be a problem, as the law quite literally names “persons” as potentially liable.

You may want to look into what the legal requirements actually are, and how it changes who is liable. It is outright draconian.

Essentially, it requires the OS to find out the age of the user, and then inform ALL software that is run by API. Any software that theoretically could use the data, and still allows a child to see something they should not have, will be liable.

You claimed that the US was the least likely to do this sort of thing…

Instead, despite the incompetence, they are clearly spearheading this globally along with the UK. Making it most decidedly the first place that will have to deal with this crap.

Not the last.

Not even two weeks later, California is making OS level age verification a thing.

Really, really well made mashed potates is heavenly.

Combine with the grease from some meat you’re serving it with… Yum.

edit: oh wow literally everything by this artist

That is a massive chip.

Intel finally has an answer to threadripper?

Neat!

Debt?

No, she just found another cool bass she has to buy.

Steel?

When is someone gonna innovate, and develop the tech to do this with TUNGSTEN?

That is a weird-ass way to title and write about a good thing.

…

Platonically?

There is something sensual about putting glasses on someone (or taking them off).

I don’t think the upcoming games are coming to PS4.

The Forbidden West DLC was already PS5/PC exclusive.

Sure those aren’t streams of blood for facial cuts?

Nice ragebait.

If you genuinely still think that was my point in its entirety, you are truly obtuse.

No.

I’m saying 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% ≠ 100%

For some people that’s close enough. For some of us it’s not.

Prove otherwise. I dare you. I’m done putting in effort explaining the obvius to you. Your turn.
