@neil where can I get one I absolutely need it

@neil I love this!! Where did you find it?

@neil oooh I love that t-shirt.

@neil where can I get one???

@neil 😍

@neil “steal”

Alt...

You wouldn’t read a website

@neil tl;dr needs LLM summary

@neil want

@neil
tl;dr

@neil Got the same one! 👊

@neil - HOw true.

@neil I absolutely would if my immunity was guaranteed.

@neil I predict this will be as successful as the original anti-piracy campaign it's based from

@neil

They have been doing it with money for centuries.

@neil Oh yes they would

@neil Where can I buy these?

@neil Fucking Genuis!!!

@neil Looking forward to Muskrat and Sam Altman wearing the T-shirt.

@neil love it

@neil

I need to know the relevant experience of those I bother to question.

@neil Proprietary and child-killing...

@nixCraft Love Linux, works well on older hardware, not a resource hog like windows...

@nixCraft This website is such an excellent rebuttal to the nonsensical parameters of the Californian law. Funny read!

@nixCraft love this, but the website is very US-centric. This age verification madness is sweeping the whole world.

@nixCraft
It's Unix - of course **EVERYONE** was born on 1970-01-01 !
@agturcz

@nixCraft Here's the #Debian #SystemDCensorD proposal, using D-Bus - "On installation, the user will be required to enter their location. ... This location and user data will be managed by a new daemon, systemd-censord, ... For example, ... a unit for China will implement keyword scans ... debian will need to switch to being a binary-only distribution ... with ... controls to prevent any non-signed software from being installed , written, or compiled, ..."

@nixCraft is this a joke? or i don't get it. when it requires first the download or e.g. debian, but debian itself requires the age check on install, how can ageless linux work, when you have to run the conversion script after the debian installation?

@nixCraft ok that finished to change my mind. Thanks.

@nixCraft I love this solution, but what are the plans for hardware providers? I feel like companies that offer Linux pre-installed will be the ones on the hook for ensuring the age verification is there. Will there be California editions that come with no OS?

@nixCraft linux can’t fundamentally do age verification because how it’s built into the system to be local by default and even if something was made you could literally strip it out of the source code so even if a company like Ubuntu added it into something a dev team like Linux Mint would remove that crap anyway.

The law makers really are showing their age being out of touch with technology like my mother and grandmother.

@nixCraft
Where I can catch up on the context?

Interesting to see how many people are born on 1970-01-01.

@nixCraft

@nixCraft @rogue_cells This is fantastic

@nixCraft

Or comply in the worst way.

aged. Age daemon.

Reads ~/config/age.conf for self-set date of birth.

Thats it.

@ncopa which kind of resources, build infrastructure or manpower?

@ncopa Debian dropped armv6 support. So there is not much left.

Is Alpine still using 32bit time_t?

@ncopa In the embedded/industrial space I'm still seeing a surprising amount of ARM9 and expect those to go on quite a while, but that'd be v5, so even older. v7 seems like a more sensible target for Alpine 32bit support than trying to keep that /and/ v6 on life support together.

@ncopa keep arm v7 its raspi 3

@ncopa I have AlpineLinux on an RPi 1 running pi-hole (head-less). More efficient and such a nice experience compared to RaspberryOS.

@ncopa i wonder how apk would react if an edge system were to upgrade an upstream had no packages for it. i say that because i upgraded my pi0w 1.1 to edge because i was trying to get mdns to work and i read that avahi2dns and unbound worked.

@ncopa Removing armv7 would have major impact on postmarketOS as we still have many people actively working on devices with such CPUs. On the contrary armhf is pretty much dead.

@babe I don’t know what those are. :)

@babe who are these heretics voting custard creams?

Are they all non Brits who think this is some kind of cold set dessert vs whiskey battle?

@mullvadnet what about age verification to access age verification?

@mullvadnet "A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN" yeah… but no.

Please kindly stop spreading FUD. There are ways (ZKP) to do that...

@mullvadnet To be fair, Whistleblowers should be using a more secure setup than just a VPN.

@mullvadnet They've lost their god damn minds.

@Tattooed_Mummy
Also, both.

@Tattooed_Mummy There is only one correct answer here...you can't reply both. lol

@Tattooed_Mummy Need a third option for: disgusting, I'm European, we don't do that.

@Tattooed_Mummy

@revk the consumer protection is unlikely to be meaningful as it can't be enforced overseas.
Your Section 75 rights are enforceable - so your (UK based) credit card provider will be jointly liable.

@revk I think it doesn't matter what they pretend to be. They are a foreign company, so will be treated as such legally. But you do have a strong argument that they have intentionally misled, which should support whatever protections there are left (e.g. s75 and any other anti-fraud protection that might apply to a UK consumer dealing with a foreign company.)

@revk you're covered by the credit card protection not the uk consumer protection.

@revk I don’t believe what they pretend to be matters, if they’re selling to a UK consumer, then that law applies. In the same way that the Online Safety Act applies worldwide to sites accessed from the UK.
But as others have noted, enforcement is quite another matter.

@revk IANAL: but IIRC, if the item is sold to a consumer in the UK then the UK consumer act etc apply (something like https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/digital-services-tax/dst33000 )- enforcement may be a different issue. I *think* I recall a case where "illegal" TV sticks were sold to UK customers, UK law therefore applied, courts ended up asking some ISPs to block the site.

@revk no idea. This is a huge problem in Canada. Whole businesses trimmed in Canadiana. The domain. Names, currency etc. and secretly just Americans. Sigh

@codemonkeymike interesting. I'm due for another laptop since mine broke, so I'll be checking this out. Probably can grab a Chromebook or something else from a local pawn shop for a decent price
