Eric SchultzIn case anyone is unclear, since I hear he's also campaigning against this Linux age-gating trash:
Bryan Lunduke is a fascist hatemonger. He represents the absolute worst in free software and I believe he should be ostracized from any and all parts of our community. He wants software freedom for himself and in the abstract but despises individuals expressing their freedom. He believes in a software freedom that is hollowed out and missing love.
A small set of people are merging changes to various Linux components to make sure every application knows your birth date.
This is being done rapidly by people with questionable justifications and being merged with no youth and few marginalized people involved.
"Age verification" laws are "we want to have all adults and their complete online profile in a database" laws, and that Persona, the company behind LinkedIn, Roblox, Discord ID and age verification is owned by Peter Thiel should be all you need to know.

I've had a chance to use Opus 4.6 a bit, not just for coding tasks, but for other typical corporate management activities too, like reading and writing policies, understanding bookkeeping, etc.
And I have some scary news. Sure it makes mistakes, but for a person treating it as an extended information processing tool instead of outsourcing thinking to it, not more so than your average junior developer, outsourcing partner, big four consultant below partner level. It just delivers results much, much faster.
It's not hard to imagine a world in which racking up a €1000 AI bill per day per person driving it isn't just considered normal, but cost effective.
We'll see exponential hunger for AI compute, in a world in which chip production scales linearly at best. And the implications for energy consumption are shocking.
We'll also see the market for junior developers dry up. And no one has an idea where new senior developers who actually can meaningfully manage AI dev work will come from.
We live in interesting times, and not in the best sense of this phrase.
So Vincenzo Iozzo denied he knew of Epstein's horrors. He didn't deny hacking phone for him. https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/12/hacker-linked-to-epstein-removed-from-black-hat-cyber-conference-website/
