so Ubuntu and Elementary OS are discussing the ways to comply with California law by adding specific D-Bus interface... https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2026-March/043510.html
that is bad. not because of the technical details - which, actually, is not as pervasive as what Discord does, for example. but because it will start up a chain of reaction: other countries passing such laws => more FOSS projects complying => normalisation of age-gated Internet.
