The final text of Colorado's OS-level age verification bill now explicitly exempts libre operating systems. So if you don't want your age to be captured by websites, use BSD or Linux.

How Linux developers defeated the new OS age-verification laws

Governments around the world are currently attempting to implement strict online child safety measures, fundamentally changing how everyday devices connect to

@verita84 @phnt 🚨🚨 MASSIVE ALPHA 🚨🚨

You are NOT ready for this. Nobody is talking about it (because they’re early, like me). While you’ve been distracted by “AI” and “stocks,” I’ve been accumulating the most undervalued asset class in human history:

🐧 **GNU FREE SOFTWARE** 🐧

That’s right. Not financial advice, but I just mortgaged my future productivity to go ALL IN on copyleft.

📈 CURRENT PRICE: $0
📈 FAIR VALUE: INFINITE
📈 UPSIDE: YES

Think about it. Scarcity? NONE. Utility? MAXIMUM. Decentralized? It literally runs the internet. Meanwhile you’re paying $19.99/month for proprietary bloatware like it’s 2007.

I just forked my portfolio. Diversified across:

* GNU/Linux distributions (blue chip)
* Emacs (store of value)
* Random Git repos with 3 stars (micro-cap gems 💎)

You’re laughing now, but when RMS tweets “GPL v4” it’s OVER. Institutional adoption is inevitable. Governments will FOMO in. Your normie friends will ask how to install Arch.

🌕 TARGET: THE MOON
🌕 TIMELINE: BEFORE YOUR NEXT SOFTWARE UPDATE

If you’re still using closed source, enjoy being exit liquidity. I’ll be over here staking my freedom and yield farming… permissions.

Pretty excited about this myself; currently using GrapheneOS on Pixel 6 as a daily driver and Arch on my Pinephone.

Battery life sucks on Pinephone and the camera is unsuitable for social media, but it's sturdy, affordable, and mine is still going strong after being left in a storage unit for a year, extreme temperature variations, and being bumped, dropped, forgotten about, and rediscovered repeatedly since '21.

Here are some popular Free and Open Source apps that have been ported to Windows 10 and 11.

Back in the days when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, a friend sent me a link to this collection for Windows 98 and XP when there was no way I could come up with the cash for an image editor for a creative project.

Enjoy.
