@grrlscientist #OpenAI should be under #boycott by default, and Sam #Altman is a disingenous idiot. And Satya #Nadella is even worse, he speaks with a forked tongue. #Microsoft loves #Linux, because of its influence at the #linuxfoundation which is a trade association for corporate interests. https://githubcopilotlitigation.com/ #GrandTheftAutoComplete

In a little more than two weeks, I'll be kicking back at #KubeConEU in lovely #Amsterdam. Hit me up if you want to talk about running #Mastodon on #Kubernetes or want to exchange war stories from the corporate trenches about building awesome multi tenant Kubernetes clusters for larger companies. Or, you know, just want to have a drink of some kind ;-)

Disclaimer: I'm not a vendor, although I am available for consultancy, if you're into that sort of thing.

Is open source worth the investment?
For leading enterprises, the answer is already clear.
Open source drives innovation, improves security through transparency, and builds ecosystems that outlast products.
It is not about cutting costs. It is about building influence.

SILENCE IS DEAFENING
"While the [age verification] bill moved through the legislature, the OSI, FSF, Software Freedom Conservancy, and Linux Foundation all sat it out — no testimony, no public analysis, no formal opposition on the record."
Are the adults listening?

California's computer age verification law is poison. The new California age verification law is a version of INGSOC's telescreen watching you. And the usual self-proclaimed software freedom fighters are AWOL as this attack on your freedom is executed.

Don't listen to apologists who claim this isn't a big deal. It is a huge deal. This law is not about protecting children. The California law is a ruse for laying the foundation and precedent for mandatory remote control of all operating systems. They are using children as a shield for their true intentions. It's called a 'subterfuge' or a 'pretext' to hide the real rationale. And in politics subterfuge is very common. These politicians don't care about your children. They care about control and information is control. Compliance with California's new law is highly corrosive to free software and deadly to personal privacy.

With the mandatory age verification API in place, legislators can later add more laws mandating retrieval of even more privacy-invasive information just to install and use any operating system. This is Big Brother's telescreen in your living room. And the Linux community is nearly silent on the matter, instead focused on artificial intelligence investment.

Where were the software freedom organizations when California was mandating installation of #spyware in all free and open source operating systems? Did they oppose it? Or did they support it by silence? The California age verification law is the greatest threat to software freedom in recent history., striking right at the root of software installation for all users. Yet (((crickets))).

Is silence really tacit support?
"While the [age verification] bill moved through the legislature, the OSI, FSF, Software Freedom Conservancy, and Linux Foundation all sat it out — no testimony, no public analysis, no formal opposition on the record."
[https://boingboing.net/2026/03/02/californias-age-verification-law-could-regulate-every-linux-command.html]

Where were they when this mandatory spyware infrastructure was being shoved down our throats? Where were the self-proclaimed software freedom fighters? Where were the calls to action? I didn't see any.

Is silence golden ... or is gold buying silence?

Let these organizations know that you oppose California's age verification spyware law and that you expect them to rally in defense of true software freedom--freedom from government oversight of your software systems. Parents--and not the spyware state--should protect their children. The government is neither your parent nor your god nor your savior and the people should send a clear message stating that.

California, stay out of my operating system! And stay the hell away from children!
