Linux Is Exempt From Colorado and California's Age Verification Laws - OSTechNix

I think it's more that someone managed to explain to them in words they could understand how unenforceable it was, and having it be unenforceable for some weakens the law's standing as a whole. Now it doesn't because they aren't required to try.

Have you read the bill? This is explicitly NOT aimed at websites but at apps. I’m not defending it, but be angry about what it actually is.

I dont think you have to worry about the steam frame. Its gonna be handled by steam as another device so any drivers will be likely installed by the steam client once connected

The people who wrote the bill, who I have actually spoken with rather than speculating, didn’t know what open source means. Like most normal people, they only know Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.

They do know open source is now, which is why they have started modifying the bill. I’m not defending it, but contex is important.

Some sugar to help swallow the pill, and then later...

They did...

and yet so many devs put that crap in there willingly before the law was even finalized. Talk about no spine at all.

Normies ruin everything no matter how well-intentioned through a great deal of ignorance. Normies shouldn't be allowed to make laws about anything. Only subject matter experts.

They just accepted linux is out of their reach, lol

Every year since 1992.....but this time for realsies!

While all of that is true.....you get how politics work, right? It's never a case of "here's the bill, the only bill, and now we all move on."

THIS bill attacks software. THIS bill isn't able to attack linux, because of the nature of linux.

There will be more bills in the future. They don't just give up. They keep attacking your freedom until ALL OF HUMANITY ARE LITERAL SLAVES.

It's take a little here, and let the masses adjust. Then take a little more.

Seperate the masses by dividing upon themselves. Get them to attack and hate each other.

Now they attack the weakest side. Then they get the strongest side to fight each other. Then they attack the weakest side.

Repeat until all of society are slaves. This will continue as these people grab more power.

Oh, it sounds unrealistic??? Imagine 10 years ago I told you the plan was to let nazis and pedophiles into power, so they could have a secret police force kidnap legal citizens off the street wearing masks and armed with guns into unmarked vans. Plus murder and protesters who stand in their way.

Does that sound unrealistic? Go ask Rene Goode, and Alex Pretti if it sounds realistic. Oh wait. You can't. They're dead from protesting ICE.

So yeah. I think it's perfectly justified to say they want 100% power, and they don't give a fuck about you or anyone else. And it all starts by taking and taking and taking. In small doses. And getting away with it. So they take more.

Username checks out

Somehow I missed that only developers of installed apps are meant and not web devs as well.

I believe that regarding our politicians. But I’m talking about the lobby that pushed the bill.

A non-required general use field that is entirely optional.

Yes, this absolute bare-minimum effort deserves all the outrage 🙄
