@catsalad Hmm... a murmuration of StarOS-lings...

@catsalad Governments create problems even when there aren't any. They constantly invent new obstacles for their populations in order to exercise control over them. Now another government is suggesting that open source OS should be subject to age verification. The fact that they are proposing this shows that they don't understand what FOSS is. These are Orwellian practices and, in my opinion, governments are doing this deliberately. They are consciously provoking rebellion.

You are a bad influencer.

@catsalad Seriously, what is even the enforceability on any of this? Also, whats stopping all of us from saying we are 30? Does it actually tie to any sort of identification, or are we just effectively creating "kids accounts" ala Netflix?
@weatherpunk @catsalad Wanna bet they expect "AI" to fix this?

@ramonfincken @catsalad Servers: I run an operating system too!
Will California obey the law and inspect all the data centers in California on Jan 1st 2027? 🤔

@fenixmaster @catsalad Root access to one’s computing device is fundamentally incompatible with this law.
That, by extension, squarely classifies the legislation as authoritarian.

I started wondering if my TV remote control was smart enough to have an operating system, then thought:
What happens when using remote display software to control multiple computers running different operating systems from a single monitor.
Will you have to verify your age on the local computer, then again on each remote one?
What happens if you have a multi-boot PC? Separate age verification for each OS?
So many questions, so much deep appreciation for the morons who have completely thought through every single ramification of this wonderful new idea; 🤮

we need to focus hard on building serious open hardware capacities, because if ppl will opt out of proprietary operating systems which verify age, they will move age verification into hardware, so we need to avoid proprietary hardware too. ...better to start immediately supporting that and sharing options, because its not a questiin IF, but only WHEN they will do that.
@serapath @catsalad Computer hardware hobbyism is set to flourish once again. Buy a few Raspberry Pi's in case the hardware is tampered with. Governments are able to criminalize the possession of hardware because they believe it can be used against them. This era has completely gone off the rails. We need to take a good look at ourselves and consider who we give power to in elections.

elections wont cut it.
we need to make open hardware and sell and biy open hardware or donate it where ppl cant afford.we need to grow open source supply chains.
...but we also need to opt out of THEIR MONEY, because they print it to payroll us, to buy up the means of production, to buy thr liinshare of the fruits of our labour and to fund measures against us if we try to opt out.
we need to adopt open source alternative money they cant print and use that for commons

...i see no other really resilient and decentralized open source alternative money to build commons and open hardware suppply chain on top of than bitcoin.
using anything else just means the establishment will use their printer to defraud us and subvert all efforts to keep us trapped.
voting wont help, because partirs, lobbiests, epstein blackmail mafias, etc.. will make sure you wont get options to vote on that change anything.

@serapath I like the Star Trek society. Bed, bath and food always at hand and every one has a job. No exploitation.

@catsalad I am doing that already and it is great. I am using CachyOS and GrapheneOS. No Apple, Google or Microsoft.
Have fun to join digital freedom.

@catsalad I use FreeDos on an very old laptop. It has a hardware password system on the bios, simpel. No one can use it except me. 😂

haha, i love it as well, but imho was that a militarized society? after all, captain picard or kirk or janeway, they all had a strict military rank and order .. nothing here was democratic.
how does this society work at scale - what are the mechanisms? ...its presented utopian because everyone in star trek who has any powerful position has noble motives, but... yeah, i wouldnt count on that in the real world. you have epsteins and trumps and worse too

nobody can manipulate bitcoin. its 21 milliom and no more. nobody can print it.
they can bet against it, but thats as stupid as gamestop, but just worse, because its limited and there are no central authorities to capture.how would you "manilulate" it?

The Scent of the City
A morning walk through Ferrara becomes a journey through scent and memory - from London coffee to a grandmother's market, from ancient hospital corridors to the unmistakable perfume of fresh bread.
