Earthbound, GTA, PSP and the death of Linux in California

The last week of February 2026 was an ENORMOUS seven days for The Review. I pushed many long-overdue changes to the code and we published 10 – count 'em ten – phenomenal articles from four different authors!

@gardiner_bryant thank you for your work, Gardiner. Your contributions are extremely valuable!

I would also include the Colorado law that has the same fundamentals as the law from California. They seem really keen on pushing ID verification(yes, not age verification, that's a lot of boogus!) for some reason and have planted seeds all accross multiple states. Not sure if you also wrote about this, but wrote this to draw attention to it just in case it has been omitted.

I still don't get how this can effect a distro not made in the USA.
Most are not commercial.
How would they judge some one from the other side of the word and enforce it?

@Bigfood it's not so much that distros from outside of California wouldn't need to comply... It's that THIS IS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. Colorado, the UK... And it's happening with more regularity

This is clear and is worrying.

The Brits are a special case, since they left the EU nobody cared what they do ;)

California was always one of the first to do what the whole us applied and large parts of the world copied.
