Captain’s Log: System Upgrade Complete. 🖖🛰️
Pushed the engines to Warp Factor 9 with the #COSMIC Desktop. Moving my dev workflow to a Rust-based DE has been a revelation in speed and stability. 🐧🦀
In this log:
🔹 Ergonomics of auto-tiling
🔹 Building a workflow that stays out of your way
🔹 Performance as a feature
It’s the first time a Linux desktop has felt this intentional. Come see the bridge config:

Captain’s Log, Stardate 2026.86. Back in February, I made a bold claim: 2026 is the Year of the Linux Desktop, and opinionated software like COSMIC is the warp drive we’ve been waiting for. It’s one thing to talk about theoretical warp speeds in a review, but it’s another to actually sit in the captain’s chair, […]
That's a great question - I imagine they would want "their say" in the matter - so certainly would not surprise me.
But that's something I'll need to look into - as I'm also curious.
I do know #System76 (centered in Colorado) spoke to a co-author of the Colorado #AgeVerification bill, w/hopes of getting open source software exempted (unsure if happening).
Another good article on Meta lobbying for it in Android / Apple:

Big Tech Lobbying if you want to call it that has been exposed for its data protection issues. A Reddit researcher just did what regulators, journalists, and consumer advocates have struggled to do for years: follow the money behind one of the most consequential tech policy fights in Washington — and name who is actually […]

J'avais dit de pas utiliser #ubuntu ou #popOS si possible car on pourrait pas faire confiance aux entreprise #canonical et #system76 ... Et ces derniers censurent les questions a ce sujet comme des... "Attaques personnelles"

System76 fa notare una cosa: se la verifica dell'età diventa obbligatoria a livello di OS, chi usa Linux rischia di vedersi limitare l'accesso ai siti.
Perché? Windows e macOS hanno sistemi centralizzati per gestire queste cose, le distro Linux no. Quindi i siti potrebbero trattare chiunque usi Linux come minorenne di default.
C'è una spinta legislativa da parte delle grandi piattaforme?
