bro... wtf should i use now??
Back to Arch??
Back to Debian??
or fuck it go TempleOS.....
However.. ive read the associated analysis of the California bill that reads directly on legislative intent:
quoting he Cali Senate Judiciary Committee analysis : file:///home/jspaleta/Downloads/202520260AB1043_Senate%20Judiciary.pdf
Why are we listening to a person who tried to link a file directly from their downloads folder?
Also the original post that the article is referencing on the fedora forums is suggesting that we remove all networking support from baseline linux as some way to comply/circumvent the law.
I'm sorry, but I just can't take anything said in that forum post seriously.
... sssssssiiiiiiiiigggggggghhhhhhhhhh
I went with a Fedora distro because the Intel GPU drivers were less of a headache. Guess I must now find another distro...
I would wait and be very vocal about not wanting it in the forums and stuff first.
This isn't decided and nothing has been added yet at the time of me writing this.
It deserves to be ridiculed and shot down through so that it never makes it through but the problem is Red Hat is an American company.
So I always knew this was going to happen to fedora. Still though, let's see what happens.
How bout 


Why do some people just have the worst fucking ideas...and why is "some" starting to feel like "most"
Because media propaganda makes it seem as if the majority have certain views. People don't like to be on the outside so if the media can trick people into conforming then they will try that.
We’re not legally required to have age verification here so if they try that shit here we’re just Gina nice to Arch/arch like :/
Oh wait, there aren't people chiming in to call me and others a fucking idiot and a stupid man child and all the other talking points for suggesting that the systemd merge was going to escalate?
Fascinating. I wonder where they all went. Maybe they're on the BSD forums now, but somehow I doubt it.
Dang, am I about to become an Arch user?
If youre not picky and want to use the default setups, arch install is so easy now. The script is very easy to follow and takes like 10 mins to install depending on your network speed. The only "hard" part during the install is connect to the internet. But iwctl takes care of that
I already got BSD on a spare laptop. Granted it was freeBSD and I think I might switch to OpenBSD since the latter's foundation is Canadian and not US based.
But yeah if they go through with this I will be uninstalling it off my gaming machine and switching to Arch 100%. I really appreciated that line about it "not being April fools" when it was introduced in their github thread.
As long as I have root, I’m as old as I wanna be.
Not if age verification is done by a digital signature from the smart card in your government issued ID.
I have a feeling that a lot of those who replied have not really read the article, that contains some nuances. I do not like the idea of age verification, but the project leader's proposal is apparently not even official (and more like a hypothetical in a discussion thread on their forums.
Please read more than headlines, lol.
Ok well I suggest Fedora Project leader get fucked. Plenty of other good distros bub.

Ah yes, the beginning of history.
In the beginning, ~~God~~ K&R created the ~~dinosaurs~~ time_t.
Does Fedora has a Code of Conduct? Time to update it to either be
if they really like the taste of the boot. Maybe they could remove "woke" elements altogether for that sweet fascist-controlled US money.
Please don't mix Bill&Ted with that asshole
Elon was who mixed Bill&Ted into his garbage products.
Linux Distros Could Tell Fedora To Eat Shit.
Youtube requires age verification for some content since many years.
Out of curiosity, who here is still browsing YT without verified age?
Who browses YT logged in with their google account and verified age?
Too bad we don't have pool here. I would really like to see what % of people complaining about age verification here verified their age in their google account.
I've never verified my age for any operating system or website. I use YouTube logged out with an ad blocker
For solutions that back on actually "verifying" the age by requiring credit card or government ID, those suck.
As described, this is an administrator self describing the age, which doesn't mean much to anyone except kids of people who apply parental controls to systems their kids have access to.
Accounts already require your "full name" but we don't consider that "full name verification".
This proposal seems to be in the spirit of least intrusive means to let parents opt into this stuff if they want, with no ties to identity compromising third party/state "verification".
Question is whether this sort of solution that at least gives parents some chance will satisfy the lawmakers long term. For the wave of laws now, it seems to suffice to self attest age.
Because they are corporate-backed I can understand why Fedora would need to think about this, but I would never use them again. The surveillance state will stay the fuck out of my devices. The discussion also seems to be centered on GNOME?
