Linux people, how about we're just gonna collectively not give a shit about that dumb law from California? Pretty please?

Apps having age requirements is just the most stupid thing ever.

#linux

@tragivictoria i feel like the only distros that will comply are like Ubuntu or smth

@kvvoya https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/1922

Dude submitted this MR like, immediately after hearing about the law.

Draft: Add parental controls to the Accounts portal by davidedmundson · Pull Request #1922 · flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal

Applications need to filter content to match the age rating of the user. The rating restrictions tend to be location and domain specific without a common ground for where these groupings should be....

Every Linux system using D-Bus is going to be affected no matter what
@tragivictoria the statements I have read so far don't make me too optimistic tbh
@tragivictoria does this affect out of California?
@jsalvador in practice yes, because I doubt distros that have offices in Cali will have separate version for California residents and the rest of the world.
@tragivictoria that sucks, US was a mistake
