The funniest thing about proprietary nvidia drivers on linux is that they're still easier to install than using the GeForce app lmao.
dnf install akmod-nvidia
No sign in to a fat game launcher ad ridden app to upgrade your GPU driver

Reminder that there is a petition for UK residents, now with 500 000 signatures: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903
Reminder that they already responded
The Government has no plans to repeal the Online Safety Act, and is working closely with Ofcom to implement the Act as quickly and effectively as possible
Doesn't stop us from continuing to push. Since they responded we got 300 000 more signatures.
Wouldn't it be sick if y'all just responded on voting day?
Here's the pitch: Do you want to prevent horrible nonsense shit from happening? Do you like money? Are you okay with people in general? Fucking vote.
You do realise that Labour were voted in as the progressive alternative on a bunch of pretty progressive campaign pledges right? The Online Safety Act and treating peaceful protesters as terrorists certainly weren't what people voted for.

You can on Linux just saying
It's like people are just now noticing that they have zero ability to control their own digital lives because they traded it all away in order to not have to take the time to learn how to do things for themselves.

Makes sense, because with the nvidia graphics card you could generate AI porn.
You could generate AI porn on a 6502; I don’t see Commodore or Atari pulling this crap.

It's in the name... can't access graphic content without ID, can we? /s
On a more serious note, what about AMD graphics cards?
Zoomers need to learn they don't need to use Nvidia's app for this. Just download the driver directly.
at this point just stop serving websites to the uk, and call it their "great firewall"
Boomers will also get locked out of a lot of content because verifying their age is too complicated. I feel no sympathy.

How the fuck does this protect kids? Adjusting graphics settings? Why not bar them from adjusting volume while they're at it.
To be clear this image is faked.
