California just passed a bill requiring operating systems to verify your age.OS companies have two choices.Play ball.Drop support for California.The correct option is in pic related.What do you guys think?
This is fiery hot shit, yeah?I expect at least a courtesy bump, because your Windows is about to be asking you to scan your driver's license if we don't do SOMETHING.
Inevitable next step in this process of having a total control over the internetThe normalcattle will support it to protect le children
>>530026463Thats a creeping backdoor for the Amerimutt regime to ban people from using open source or established Chinese operating systems that will be simply banned from using the regime approved "age verification" services, which mean operating a computer is now defacto controlled by the Amerimutt niggerjew regime. Amerimutt bugmen will do nothing about it and love it.
>>530026651At my sons highschool both boys and girls openly discuss “ferals”. Which means realistic cartoon bestiality. I now know what red rockets and fortune cookies refer to. The current generation is accepting of bestiality. My son’s friend said the word DOGWIFE.DOG. FUCKING. WIFE.These kids are on a site called ZOO FUCKING VILLE and a FERAL FRIDAY and they resarch how to have sex with amimals without hurting them…I CANT GET MY KID A DAMN DOG KNOWIN THISWe were right about what gay marriage would lead to.I am 42 and this is BULLSHITNo fucking wonder they hate israel and love iran now. Jews execute bestialists. The ayatollahs enjoy goat pussy.The free internet must fucking die
>>530026463Ban California from the internet
>>530026651Pirates won't stand for this for more than a week.There will be a workaround, crack, or exploit to circumvent it, almost immediately, either way.Tbh, the workaround might even come from your country.Your software crackers have talent.No cap, a Brazilian hacker would be in my top 5 list. I'd take one of those over anything on the other side of the Atlantic, not counting Asian nations.
>>530026463i bet you're absolutely seething all the distros are caving inall the schizo's absolutely shidding and crying
>Drop support for CaliforniaI mean I am sure the OS would still run in California they just wouldn't be allowed to officially give support to their customers without violating the law. Which would be pretty funny. Honestly calling California's bluff would be pretty funny. It would also lessen their power over tech.
>>530026463>What do you guys think?I don't think about California. I'll just ship free software and you can use it or not. Not my problem.
>>530026833Bingo.California and Tech have been in a carnival fucking trapeze artist relationship since the dawn of time though, so expecting tech companies to grow a pair and tell their spouse "no, you're being a crazy witch", is highly unlikely.
>>530026894Your post is so dry, so direct, it's like I'm really on 2ch.Thank you for this authentic experience. I will cherish it.
>New update about the Steam Frame and the GabeCube>Valve just says they will not be shipping to California or Colorado when it does come out.A man can dream.
>>530026463California's AB 1043 (Digital Age Assurance Act), signed in late 2025 and effective January 1, 2027, requires operating systems (like Windows, macOS, iOS, Android) to implement age verification during device setup. Users must indicate if they fall into one of four age brackets (<13, 13–15, 16–17, 18+), with this data passing to apps to restrict content. Key Details of the Law:Purpose: The law aims to protect minors from harmful online content by enforcing age-appropriate experiences.Method: Instead of mandatory ID scans, it requires an interface at setup for users to self-report their date of birth or age bracket.Implementation: OS providers must create an API that shares this age-bracket "signal" with applications.Penalties: Fines for non-compliance can reach $2,500 per affected child for negligence, or up to $7,500 for intentional violations.Controversy: The law has faced criticism from over 400 computer scientists citing privacy risks, censorship concerns, and technical challenges for open-source software like Linux. While Governor Newsom signed the bill, he has indicated a desire for amendments to address implementation complexities, particularly for shared family devices.Text of the bill:https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB1043/id/3269704
>>5300288781798.501. (a) An operating system provider shall do all of the following:(1) Provide an accessible interface at account setup that requires an account holder to indicate the birth date, age, or both, of the user of that device for the purpose of providing a signal regarding the user’s age bracket to applications available in a covered application store.(2) Provide a developer who has requested a signal with respect to a particular user with a digital signal via a reasonably consistent real-time application programming interface that identifies, at a minimum, which of the following categories pertains to the user:(A) Under 13 years of age.(B) At least 13 years of age and under 16 years of age.(C) At least 16 years of age and under 18 years of age.(D) At least 18 years of age.(3) Send only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with this title and shall not share the digital signal information with a third party for a purpose not required by this title.(b) (1) A developer shall request a signal with respect to a particular user from an operating system provider or a covered application store when the application is downloaded and launched.(2) (A) A developer that receives a signal pursuant to this title shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the age range of the user to whom that signal pertains across all platforms of the application and points of access of the application even if the developer willfully disregards the signal.(B) A developer shall not willfully disregard internal clear and convincing information otherwise available to the developer that indicates that a user’s age is different than the age bracket data indicated by a signal provided by an operating system provider or a covered application store.(3) (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), a developer shall treat a signal received pursuant to this title as the primary indicator of a user’s age range for purposes of determining the user’s age.
>>530028916(B) If a developer has internal clear and convincing information that a user’s age is different than the age indicated by a signal received pursuant to this title, the developer shall use that information as the primary indicator of the user’s age.(4) A developer that receives a signal pursuant to this title shall use that signal to comply with applicable law but shall not do either of the following:(A) Request more information from an operating system provider or a covered application store than the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with this title.(B) Share the signal with a third party for a purpose not required by this title.1798.502. (a) With respect to a device for which account setup was completed before January 1, 2027, an operating system provider shall, before July 1, 2027, provide an accessible interface that allows an account holder to indicate the birth date, age, or both, of the user of that device for the purpose of providing a signal regarding the user’s age bracket to applications available in a covered application store.(b) If an application last updated with updates on or after January 1, 2026, was downloaded to a device before January 1, 2027, and the developer has not requested a signal with respect to the user of the device on which the application was downloaded, the developer shall request a signal from a covered application store with respect to that user before July 1, 2027.1798.503. (a) A person that violates this title shall be subject to an injunction and liable for a civil penalty of not more than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) per affected child for each negligent violation or not more than seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) per affected child for each intentional violation, which shall be assessed and recovered only in a civil action brought in the name of the people of the State of California by the Attorney General.
>>530028940(b) An operating system provider or a covered application store that makes a good faith effort to comply with this title, taking into consideration available technology and any reasonable technical limitations or outages, shall not be liable for an erroneous signal indicating a user’s age range or any conduct by a developer that receives a signal indicating a user’s age range.

>>530026595Technically it will just ask you for your birthday, but yes, you can bet the next step is having to submit your ID to some third party company owned by a politician/jew that will then immediately suffer a huge hack.
>>530029078(g) This title does not impose liability on an operating system provider, a covered application store, or a developer that arises from the use of a device or application by a person who is not the user to whom a signal pertains.1798.505.

>>530026463>make OS that complies with California law>be only OS allowed in the state>profit billions of dollarsIt’s that simple
>>530026728Weird how you already had this statement prepared ahead of time.
>>530026595>I expect at least a courtesy bump, because your Windows is about to be asking you to scan your driver's license if we don't do SOMETHING.lmfaour a good dude
None of the zoomer fags in this thread remember how it was Californians retarded emission laws that destroyed vehicles in this country.
>>530029135But then you'd be a traitor to humanity, and be at risk of having someone pay for you to be in a cartel torture video.
>>530026595We dont have to do anything. YOU need to install linux. But youre a lazy faggot retard who wants others to solve the problem
>>530026463all they have to do is activate the prompt for people in california. why does it have to be a binary of everyone or no one?
>>530026833you realy think these tech companies arent complete pussies who will give up without a fight?theyll get bribed by newscum and gladly do this
>>530026463>>530026595>>530026704>>530026807>>530026894>>5300291654chan is too Fat, Lazy, Weak, Psyoped, Brainroted, Faggots, Retarded, Redditor, Cancel Culture Obsessed, Larping Commies, Suicidal, Have Suicidal Empathy, Shoves Politics in to every aspect of Life like some Dumbass to do Anything like the Old 4chan days.

>>530026728Meds. Now.
>>530026463Is California basically american EU but on steroids?
>>530029610literally just said OP was a good dude you fucking try-hard
>>530026463I said this in that /g/ thread so I'll say it here too. The OS companies won't drop support because they're all run by the same jews that are behind this law. Other, similar laws will be coming everywhere soon.
>>530029665American ain't it. Aside of that, got owt good going on today?
>>530026463They will all do it because they all want to.
>>530026651They cant even protect le children without killing the beast anyway. Zionism.
>>530026728>No fucking wonder they hate israel and love iran now. Jews execute bestialists. The ayatollahs enjoy goat pussy. I agreed with you until you exposed yourself as a golem with this. There's plenty of legitimate reasons to hate the kikes aside from this.
>>530026728>one generation saying and doing edgy things their parents don't likeOh no, the horror, never in the history of humanity has this ever happened, o woe is us
>>530029688And because normies will just go along with it we will have to go along with it too or not use the pc. It's annoying but I've given my debit card details over to pay for stuff online and I've spent a lot so if the normies do then I will too but I will resist as long as I can in the hopes it gets reversed before I take the selfie.
>>530026595I am never using windows again.
Fuck first my ar15 has to be california compliant now my os. FUCK FUCK FUCK MY C OCK CAGE IS LOCKED
>>530026595Here, now fuck off and upgrade to temple OS califaggot
>>530029440Theyee explicitly pushing it on Linux too you dumb fuck
>>530029747got a frozen shoulder from sleeping on it wrong too muchI'm pretty much just sitting here until my arm stops having a toothacheyou up to much?what is it, a friday?
Just don't use jeetdows retards
>>530026463Linux distros already ship x86, amd64, ARM and other images. Each will have another version with age verification built-in and it's up to you if you want to install.
>>530026463What is NEWSOM worried for,, he cannot read so what does he know what the internet is saying..He said he like the blacks,,THICK AS SHIT...He said it not me..
>>530026463California is trying SO HARD so become the sole exporter of intellectual property in the entire world.
>>530029852I'm holding out hope that this can be bypassed on a modified Linux distro that replaces the age verification function with one that always returns true, but whether that's possible really depends on how it's implemented.
>>530026463The war is a distraction from this. Colorado have implemented the same bill and ID Backed OS level verification goes live in 12 days in Brazil.
Windows is gay, I haven't run that as a daily OS since 2013. I have some netbooks running XP or win7 for starcraft and diablo2 LAN parties, but I don't use it for anything else. I even have an iMac that I saved from a dumpster that runs some flavor of OSX. Garageband actually works pretty good with a modern scarlett and I always like imovie, but that's all completely unrelated.
Stop being a lazy nigger and learn the Unix filesystem so you can fucking switch to something less pozzed. MidnightBSD is already excluding california out of their license. >>530029649What the fuck are you talking about?Just strip it out it's open source. There is no way to enforce this on Linux.
>>530029610Why do you capitalize words like that? Are you posting from a fucking iPhone? Lol
>>530026463Thats the correct thing to do but nothing good ever happens so I expect his shitty bill to pass and every OS to get pozzed.
>>530030102This is the same tier of argument as "just use a VPN bro" was in response to the early days of age verification for websites. The politicians will catch on and they'll make it illegal to use that workaround. It will be extremely easy to convince a politician "nobody uses Linux except evil hackers who want to get around the law that protects children" and next thing you know Linux will be illegal to use as a personal OS (politicians can't into internet so they won't understand the impact on servers, embedded devices, other infrastructure, etc.)>tl;dr stop taking the path of least resistance and ceding ground to the censorship, push back against it
>>530030228>Lol
>>530026595>This is fiery hot shit, yeah? What are you, from Birmingham?
>>530026463no young genius deckers from Cali anymore
>>530026463Both left and right party's are so corrupt yet people will still vote them back in power..JUST SWAP THEM ALL AT THE NEXT ELECTION,,EVERYTIME AN ELECTION..The system is broken so no matter who gets in power will steal the shit out of you all but swapping them all every election will make them think I should of done a good job..STOP putting the cronies back in power,,make them like you again,,a citizen who has to face the world like YOU DO..Its the only way to win i a BROKEN SYSTEM..THE LAW IS CORRUPT AND BROKEN because if the LAW was in a good place then most of these rat corrupt politicians would all be in JAIL..
>>530030269You're a retard, they cannot ban Linux and making it illegal for use at home is unenforceable.
>>530030286Yes that's the first word of a new sentence, and it's properly capitalized you dumb iphone using jeet.
>>530030398I agree but that never works. I think that anyone that wants to be a politician should be immediately disqualified and we treat every public office like jury duty. Also compensation is capped ad federal minimum wage and no more than 36 hours a week so they have to provide their own healthcare.
>>530026463>>530026595bump
>>530030206>>530030401>There is no way to enforce this on Linux.Then they'll just make it illegal to use Linux>they cannot ban LinuxThey absolutely can and will. Microsoft and Apple and Google will shill for it, too. It's in their interests to push Linux out of the space. The engineers will hate it but the jeets at the top will all salivate over the slight bump in quarterly stock numbers.>making it illegal for use at home is unenforceableThey'll make it illegal to distribute, so you can't download it from anywhere reputable. They'll go after the contributors to it. They only need to make an example of one or two of them to scare everyone else off of it. At best they'll require some kind of license/verification in order to use it.>but what aboutDoesn't matter, pearl-clutching trumps all logic and reason.>well they can't do that becauseAll. Logic. And. Reason. You're thinking like a rational person. Think like a politician and you'll understand. Or just keep ignoring the problem and see where that gets us. It got us here, after all.
>>530026463A NEW SLOGAN......MAKE THEM LIKE YOU AGAIN....make the corrupt politicians like you again,,,they will then have to face the world like YOU again..Its the only way..You will then see how rigged the system is..Some of your politicians have been in power for over 30 years because its been RIGGED for them to stay so they can STEAL the shit out of you all..MAKE THEM LIKE YOU AGAIN is the new SLOGAN..
>>530029892>first my ar15 has to be california compliantActually, it doesn't.
>>530026595>WindowsNot a problem for me then.
>>530030647Ok retard.Explain how they will define Linux in you're supposedly guaranteed future bill to ban it.Did you know Windows ships with Linux?
>>530030848Your*There's is no way to define Linux because the moment you do it can simply be modified to no longer fit the definition.
>>530030502that never works.TRUE,,,COZ THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED...I do say we will never vote our way out of this because I know doe a fact the system is rigged..Go and look at some of the political leaders then think how the fuck have you stayed in politics for so long,,its RIGGED why they stay so long..Only way out is to vote and hope its not rigged or WIPE THEM OUT with your GUNS WHICH IS WHY YOU HAVE GUNS,,,FOR CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS so you can remove them by force..
>>530030848>>530030917They'll come up with a paragraph of legalese intended to refer to an OS in the way a normie thinks of it (like Windows for a PC) but will end up being over-broad and retarded. Being retarded is not an obstacle for a politician or for a piece of legislation. Any piece of computer code that might enable little Timmy to see a boob is a dangerous threat that must be secured in order to protect the children.At best they'll come up with some sort of registry or verification program or licensing system to allow "approved" usage of Linux by people who have verified their age/identity. Their ultimate objective is clearly to make it illegal to use a computer without the government's permission and tracking, so that kind of licensing will fit right in.
>>530030930MAKE THEM LIKE YOU AGAIN..MAKE THEM LIKE YOU AGAIN..
>>530031243Right so you have no idea. That's fine because they can't.>registry or verification programAgain, how? Do you understand technology or is this all a big black box to you?
>>530029610>he says, while posting on 4chanProjecting much?
>>530026463No OS provider will standup to this, definitely not windows or Apple
>>530026463Corpos will agree since they are behind the bill but Linux community will give middle finger and enthusiasts will find workarounds, and normies with redditors will clap because "it protect da children" and "you got nothing to hide anyway, why worry".California is a shithole that deserves to get razed to the ground.>>530026651True. Most people are filthy cattle who got no shame nor any responsibility.
>>530031505>No OS provider will standup to this, definitely not windows or AppleWrong, they will all cuck to be California compliant
>>530029302How about you learn from history and call their buff this time instead of bending over backwards like last time, retard boomer moron.Also Cafe was a good thing, this computer digital ig thing is absolutely batshit insane.Again: retard boomer moron.
>>530030930I think the reasons guns haven't been used at the government yet is that food is still easy to procure
>>530026463MS and Apple won’t drop support. That leaves, what, Samsung and the developers of other niche OS left? Linux distorts can argue their way out of this law and its impossible to ban linux.
>>530026463>commieforniaDon't give a shit. Doesn't affect me. Fuck those faggotst. Texas
>>530029572this. companies tend to always cuck out against the state, because they take their customers for granted.what do they care about scanning an ID - that's inconveniencing their customer, not them, so why should they sacrifice profits over it? what are you going to do, just NOT use their product? LOL!then eventually people eventually do stop using their products and they kvetch
>>530031435>Right so you have no ideaI do have an idea, I'm just not going to sit here for 20 minutes and craft a paragraph of legalese as an example for you lol. >That's fine because they can't.That's my point, dumbass. Do you trust politicians to be able to define an OS without fucking it up? Why would you want them to even be pushing laws in this direction?>Again, how?The same way the setup literally any other program or system. It doesn't have to catch every last person, it doesn't even have to work properly. They'll set it up and charge you with a crime if they catch you not using it. That's how all of those systems work. Laws don't magically prevent people from being able to do illegal things, they give the government tools it can use to punish you when it catches you. Would you rather be able to use Linux as you do today, or would you rather it be something you do illegally? Again, they'll also go after contributors and distributors so unless you never want to update again, you'll have to find some shady source of it.>Do you understand technology or is this all a big black box to you?I do. You keep missing my point. Politicians don't need to understand technology in order to make it a pain in the ass to use it. I don't know why you wouldn't be against something like this. Do you understand politics or did you come here from /g/?
>>530026728Red rockets is from south park days you stupid fucking nigger
This is coming whether you like it or not. One digital always-online ID, that lets you log in everywhere (OS, car, websites, phone, microwave)
>>530026463The powers that be have a new system that has been in the development for decades now, ready to be rolled out in the coming years. It will operate in parallel starting sometime this year and by the next decade it will be fully operational as the Agenda 2030 goals are slowly being implemented.There will be no collapse, no violence, no uprising, no world war, no revolution, no killing of jews or politicians or other such fantasies. Instead there will be law & order, compliance and total surveillance until the very end. AI will be at the center of it all. The Great Reset is inevitable.
>>530031505Microsoft is 100% pajeet company now, so they definitely will comply. Apple will do, too, and they'll come up with bullshit propaganda to appeal to women and retards about how they care and how good it is. Google will bend the knee since it's also pajeet company.Linux is compromised so American government, Google, and Microsoft will try to shun the support as much as possible.
>>530031570That’s what I said you tard
>>530031617Cafe is not good at all, because now all cars are bloated, ugly, and it's a standard to put bunch of computers along with a small engine that blows up after few years of driving because it degrades fast from pressure it gets when it works. All to save money while charging more and spouting "but environment and efficiency" bs
>>530031796And yet you sit here for 20 minutes crafting a paragraph that says nothing.There is no LEGAL way to make Linux or any alternative operating system ILLEGAL.If they somehow find a way, or say fuck it just write Windows/MacOS as the only legal OS in law, kneecapping both tech and EVERY OTHER industry (lmao), there is absolutely NO WAY to enforce it, even for normies.Unless you can propose a solution to both problems they would be facing, I'm going to keep assuming you understand neither law nor tech.
>>530026463Why did everyone forget that operating systems like Windows and gaming consoles all of these shit has parental controls? Websites have an assigned minimum age and you can set an age in Parental Control and instantly block everything that is not for children.Like this whole ID thing is sooooo unnecessary.
>>530032109they want to know who exactly is saying nigger on the internet. no seriously.
I was told this White Aryan man with his White Aryan wife and White Aryan children and White Aryan dog was the future. Why would he do something so jewish if that's the case?
