Can't wait to use and promote illegal operating systems that do not verify age.

@catsalad

we need to focus hard on building serious open hardware capacities, because if ppl will opt out of proprietary operating systems which verify age, they will move age verification into hardware, so we need to avoid proprietary hardware too. ...better to start immediately supporting that and sharing options, because its not a questiin IF, but only WHEN they will do that.

@serapath @catsalad One day you'll probably will have to present your ID to buy hardware, binding the machine id to it, as for sim cards already. Buy new hardware now, not only because of Hormus, Taiwan and BigTech stressing memory prices, but because we all will have to wait several years for the autocratic regimes to grind each other up to the point where they crumble from their own ignorance.

@Amorpheus @serapath @catsalad wait a minute... I bet you're just saying this to create a price spike in computer hardware, you must have shares in RAM or disks or something. Let me just take a look at what the market's doing ... THE PRICE IS WHAT, NOW‽‽‽ Never mind...

@GerardThornley @serapath @catsalad Sorry to disappoint you. I don't have any money invested in stock or currency markets. And even if every single fediverse user would buy new hardware, it would be but a insignificant fraction of the impact AI expansion has on the memory market.
