a fairly detailed analysis of the california "age assurance bill" by fellow #AlpineLinux contributor @RunxiYu

https://runxiyu.org/comp/ab1043/

California’s Digital Age Assurance Act, and FOSS

in practice i think it does not really concern #AlpineLinux

the intent of this law is clearly to go after operating systems with app stores

with that said, it would be hilarious to slap a "not for use in California" label on the website and watch gleefully as silicon valley realizes they just shot themselves in the foot
@ariadne i mean imho its unenforceable just like the 3d printer thing requiring code to be scanned for nefarious parts. with the state of how the industry is, its just not possible to enforce draconian stuff like this on open source hardware and software
