ArmchairAce1944An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification
What the fuck? I saw that Colorado wanted to implement something like this but really, how do you enforce it? Is it illegal to install Linux now? Even if you enforce it at the login for Windows, what’s to keep someone from installing a browser that doesn’t recognize the curfew?
It’s like these motherfuckers think everyone just “goes online” with their phones and the vertical software stack those entail. And then, what about GrapheneOS?
France considers grapheneOS to be a sign of illegal activites. I am going to ve spending the weekend working my new Pixel 10 on grapheneOS. I realize that some apps won’t work and I need to find workarounds for others but like Linux Mint on my desktop and laptop I will get used to it and make it do all I want it to do anyway.
Most work, they even have a list of known working bank apps. Usually it is just changing a setting in the app info to reduce exploit protection. Airline apps seem to be the worst at wanting a lot or device control.
