cm0002Systemd preparing to comply with age verification laws
tux0rNew wave of OpenBSD users incoming. Good.
It’s not like OpenBSD is exempt from the law. If they aren’t implementing some version of it, they are just hoping no one enforces anything.
Linux is not an operating system
Please do not start the "GNU/Linux" pedantry now.
many Linux-based distros (“operating systems”) are not under US jurisdiction
Repackaging US software - and Linux-the-kernel and much of Linux-the-userland is, obviously, US software - in Europe does not suddenly make US jurisdiction go away.

It’s still an operating system. Not implementing something is saying “this OS is not to be used in a country / state with age verification laws” Basically baring anyone in california or wherever implements these laws from using the OS in a legal way. I suspect most of these OS’s (even ones that are not “under US jurisdiction”) are going to eventually do something like when you install it asks where you are located and if its in a location where age verification is required it installs the age verification system.
Linus is european.

And finland citizen, dual. So not under us jurisdiction when not in us.
In lwn.net/Article/995186 they say because linux foundation is based in US. Why the fuck they do that? You right linux under us jurisdiction.
