    You know what else will save Linux? Not being in the US.

    I know it’s not common knowledge, but there are as many as 3 or maybe even 4 other countries.

    Yeah, but what about New York? Their implementation of the law is arguably more egregious, requiring actual ID verification for anything with an internet connection.

      Not to mention the federal level bill that is so sweeping it applies to virtually everything.

    I worry this has the face of good news but is still bad news. “I didn’t speak up when they came for proprietary OS age verification because I used Linux” except we’re a minority so we’re next.

    You know I had a funny thought today about those kiosks they put up in fast food places to avoid hiring more humans. Those are connected to the Internet for payment processing, software updates, and in some places even processing the fucking order. This law would make those machines illegal unless they somehow vet the age of each user.

    Considering my last order had this name, I’m not sure they would be able to pull that off.
