You would think so. However, they already have to pay rent and utilities on huge office buildings while all major cities have housing issues. Yet I still have to show up for work in the office. It boggles the mind.

Remind me what that one DLC for Lemmings was called?

That’s a bit unfair. Postmarket is super cool and I can’t wait to get a Linux phone. But let’s not pretend it’s ready to be daily driven. Even on the best supported phones there are still hardware driver compatibility issues. And that’s not even speaking about the software catalog. Even in the privacy community, a lot of people regard banking apps as mandatory. Good luck ever getting those to run there.

Just as long as the line which wants to crown trump god emperor. Which is kinda why you guys are in that mess to begin with.

IMO, you either have to be an unrelenting idealist or a corporatist scumlord to go into politics. Guess which ones get enough funding to advance their careers…

Isn’t Red Hat downstream from Fedora? But I guess it doesn’t lessen IBM’s influence.

He’s a genocide and corporatism enabler. What did people expect?

I would switch to routing everything through tor. And if a service blocks that, I’ll stop using that service. However, I’m also at an age where I dream of living alone in the canadian wilderness, reading books until the next long winter takes me. So you shouldn’t listen to my advice if you value your digital life.

Your thinking is too complicated. There are open source, trusted and vetted apps that can verify age without breaking privacy. No need for antiquated revivals. The question is, will those apps be used. The answer is no, since age verification is all about breaking privacy. Which means your idea wouldn’t help either.

My guess is that it’s a lot easier to get a list of IPs to block from VPN providers than tor exit nodes

The latter

I don’t use tor much. My main use case at the moment is using the tor browser for all the sites that block me because I use a vpn. Works most of the time. I have a small list of onion sites that are only accessible through tor but it’s more of “break glass in case of privacy emergency” type of thing.

Just saw a report yesterday that systemd will implement age verification, meaning it might not be up to the distros.

Well good luck ever owning a pc then. AMD and Intel have massive investments over there as well.

No they haven’t, they added a field where a user can store their birthday, as required by law in parts of the US.

That’s an obvious foot in the door. The law is going to get worse. And we users expect the services we’ve been trusting all this years to see that too and act accordingly in response. As long as the critiscism remains civil, it’s perfectly valid.

Do you want linux get banned in California?

There is no single Linux. Each distro should have the agency to decide for themselves how or if they want to operate in California.

The moon has a butload, if the scarcity becomes threatening there be enough financial motivation to mine it there.

So like Ukraine?

In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.

Good news. However shouldn’t that also include online age verification?
