Let me know if your having issues receiving email from LinuxRocks. I haven't for the last week and got behind on moderation and new users because I never saw them.

I found somehow I got blacklisted so I had to go whitelist myself. Probably happened when I migrated mail servers. Outgoing mail likes to blacklist on the first sign of issues.

@erici got lucky and found a old laptop I was still login with. I was able to change my password. If it wasn't for that it said it would take 30 days! WTF. With the password and text i was able to get it.

@codytherudeguy The NetBSD Foundation is incorporated in the State of Delaware, and is governed by a set of bylaws. From their own site. Besides its not really where they are located it is if they have users in CA and CO.

@skewray probably more like the installer will ask if your in California then either install it or what would be better if a prompt saying you cannot install it and end the installation.

@skewray Oh I am sure they do. I know Canonical does. They sale support and other services and pretty sure they have customers in California.

@skewray No but the OS is used in California.

@skewray I just heard about it and going off what she said in the video. That and what she read of the law. So what is a OS provider? Arch, Ubuntu, redhat, freebsd?

California basically made Linux Illegal.

California quietly passed a law that requires every operating system — including Linux, FreeBSD, and SteamOS — to implement mandatory age verification at account setup, with a real-time API that broadcasts your age bracket to every app that asks. The fines? Up to $7,500 per affected child per violation. For solo developers and open-source maintainers, that's not a slap on the wrist — that's a death sentence.
