Let’s hope other states follow suit…
That might well be the best thing that any government could possibly do to drive open source adoption.
Great This could drive more people to linux than ever Especially if the law will eventually require users to verify their age with an ID. I wonder if big tech will still be this exited about implementing age verification once they start seeing people ditching their softwares in favor of FOSS alternatives!
For now. These kinds of laws always enroach.
My tinfoil hat is telling me they’ll do this to make an outlaw of Linux and block it from services and sites. I hope my hat is wrong.
Keep that tinfoil hat close, I have a feeling Digital identification laws and ReadID technologies are actually moving the internet away from user anonymity, enabling a framework where users can be tied to real-world identities and easily sanctioned.
Make a post on the internet that someone objects to? boom, you just lost access to all your bank accounts.
I mean people connected to Peter Thiel are already bragging how they would love to do that
Cool now get rid of the law entirely.
Wait… So if Linux doesn’t have the api (sorry, the “signal” 🙄) how will sites that require it respond? What does it mean to be “exempt” - every user is considered to be an adult?
“Please stop fighting this distopian law”.
Linux is now the backbone of everything. It you mess Linux up, so many things will break. They realized this finally.
Death nail for Windows
A new malaphor minted in the wild!
The two expressions you merged were:
- death knell for (thing)
- the final nail in the coffin for (something)
I just read it with a southern twang
“The final death in the coffin” would have some… interesting implications in a couple ways
Edit: also “death nail” means Microsoft started smoking
Death knell.
I still hoped they’d try to apply it broadly, if only to see the outcome of Ageless Linux
Colorado already did
