From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Per the very first reply on their thread discussing it in their forums, which I linked directly to for the post title:

We'll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user.

However, what's gonna happen should the attempts to age-gate the XDG portal screw over alt-init distros like Artix too? My guess is maybe they start blocking regions which force age gating like Arch Linux 32 is doing.

At least one of the laws made the OS responsible if the determined age is not correct, meaning if you don't verify the age you may still be commiting a crime, even if it is not required

The Californian bill does. If you have knowledge to the contrary please provide.

I am confused on what you are trying to say, English isn't my native language. Could you say what exactly the point of your comments is?

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm saying that "We'll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user." can be true even when they comply with the Californian bill.

Ah, I understand now. That is AFAIK correct, however complienace with the New York bill will be impossible:

New York’s proposed Senate Bill S8102A requires adults to prove they’re adults to use a computer, exercise bike, smart watch, or car if the device is internet enabled with app ecosystems. The bill explicitly forbids self-reporting and leaves the allowed methods to regulations written by the Attorney General.

Source - The bill

Possible. The NY bill leaves a lot to the discretion of the NY attorney general.

But yeah, seems a lot worse.
