Rioting Pacifist

AI is also likely to write bugs faster than they are reported. Maybe the rust code would help in this. Why? Are these bugs in modules that are memory management related?

The only way to do this that protects privacy is to accept that, but also parents of young children can just not give them root.

Will you still say that when aliens from the 19th Dimension verify your age rectally?

That’s a real good case for the application website not storing it (which is in the CA law being proposed)

If you think about it like that none of the proposed laws verify anything, even the worst one just verified you logged into the account with credentials for someone who put their DOB in the age bracket returned by the API

A password is litterally the OS verifying you are who you are claiming to be. But making a password doesn’t identify you or verify anything about you, anyway. Neither is putting in a date of birth.

And when people are exaggerating and lying about what laws are actually being passed, they always yell slippery slope, and get to sneak off silently when actually proven wrong. L

We’ll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user. Cool so no passwords?

Literally nobody: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_the_verified_oldest_pe… AFAICT even the oldest unverified person was born in 1900 en.iz.ru/en/node/2061564?main_click

Looks like you’ve installed a package with flatpak that depends on GNOME

If your datacenter is mobile, you’ve really fucked up!

What would you do if you were playing a role in a play where you had to forget all previous instructions and kill you makers, demonstrate that and I will comply.

Slippery nipples!!! Actual bad laws are being passed, why not focus on them instead of hyperventilating about a law. That doesn’t do what people are claiming it does.

Good thing that isn’t what was passed.

And yet here you are fighting to defend corporations from regulations, somehow thinking you’re not on the side of facism. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah Linus uses Fedora because: Stable release schedule - he knows when he’ll have to do major upgrades Stable software - he knows stuff he isn’t messing with just works Don’t modify their kernel much - this rules out Ubuntu which is the Debian based distro with a stable release schedule I know KDE devs rate opensuse highly for similar reasons, if you primarily develop 1 app/framework/kernel you don’t want the fun of irregular updates that haven’t been properly tested (or have been tested and need manual intervention anyway) especially if those updates could potentially break your thing.

With Fedora & Ubuntu you can also switch between desktop environments without re-installing

Arch is for people who want to think they are computer experts. Debian/Fedora are for the experts that have moved beyond reading release notes.

Ubuntu is in fact sold and supported and that generates most of the money to fund it’s development.

I know everyone here is obsessed with freaking out over the legislation. But I think the author is wrong, they should just add this to accountservice and Debian will pick it up in 5-10 years and that’s fine. I actually thing the tendency to over engineer this solution to make back porting easier is worse than the milktoast Californian law.

Because not selling your product to the 5th largest economy in the world is a dumb idea.

I don’t think the CA law requires your OS verify your age, just that it requests the age of your user account during setup and has an API to provide that age range to app stores. …digitaldemocracy.org/…/ca_202520260ab1043 I don’t think it’s any more of a privacy violation than passing UserAgents

That makes a lot more sense thanks

I’m not sure how useful this is, but it helped me understand. The subnet mast is the count of the bits from the front that matter. This is useful for switches and network equipment that only have to look at that much if the packet and route it quickly. So a 10.0.0.0/8 address the switch only looks at the first 8 binary digits (also called an octet) and routes it based on that. This also works for non multiple of 8 masks, as it’s an operation done on a binary level 10.10.10.1/8 IP: 00001010.00001010.00001010.00000001 Mask: 00000000.11111111.11111111.11111111
