So, I have actually read the text of California law CA AB1043 and, honestly, I don't hate it. It requires operating systems to let you enter a date when you create a user account and requires a way for software to get a coarse-grained approximation of this that says either 'over 18' or one of three age ranges of under-18s. Importantly, it doesn't require:
Remote attestation.
Tamper-proof storage of the age.
Any validation in the age.
In short, it's a tool for parents: it allows you to set the age of a child's account so that apps (including web browsers, which can then expose via JavaScript or whatever) can ask questions about what features they should expose.
In a UNIX-like system, this is easy to do, with a tiny amount of new userspace things:
Define four groups for the four age ranges (ideally, standardise their names!).
Add a /etc/user_birthdays file (or whatever name it is) that stores pairs of username (or uid) and birthdays.
Add a daily cron job that checks the above file and updates group membership.
Modify user-add scripts / GUIs to create an entry in the above file.
Add a tool to create an entry in the above file for existing user accounts.
This doesn't require any kernel changes. Any process can query the set of groups that the user is in already.
If a parent wants to give their child root, they can update the file and bypass the check. And that's fine, that's a parent's choice. And that's what I want.
I like this approach far more than things that require users to provide scans of passports and other toxically personal information to be able to use services. If we had this feature, then the Online Safety Act could simply require that web browsers provide a JavaScript API to query the age bracket and didn't work unless it returned 'over 18'.

Per quanto una situazione possa sembrare disperata, c'è sempre una possibilità di soluzione. Quando tutto attorno è buio non c'è altro da fare che aspettare tranquilli che gli occhi si abituino all'oscurità. Buona notte ♥️
Qatar, the UAE and other Gulf nations have spent years cultivating an image of being an oasis of stability in the Mideast. The current war risks undoing all that work.

War Update: Epic Fury It’s official. The Department of War (formerly DoD) has launched one of the largest air campaigns in history. Over 100 aircraft. B-2 Spirits. 1,000 targets in 24 hours. The human cost is already climbing: 6 Americans confirmed KIA. The grim detail: We lost three F-15Es, not to enemy fire, but to Kuwaiti air defenses in a friendly fire incident. The "fog of war" is real and it is here. #War #Iran #EpicFury #USMilitary #History #Geopolitics #Breaking

I found a new favorite place on today's stream walk (topic: meditation). I took screen caps to identify these flowers later. The white is southern dewberry, a species of flowering plant in the rose family (Rosaceae) native to the southern United States and northern Mexico. The yellow vine is false jessamine. A huge one grew up a tall pine in my childhood backyard, scattering blossoms & sweet perfume. Third pic shows the general landscape around the path.

Well, this probably means that using generative AI for development is incompatible with any foss licensing, but it also means that there’s no such thing as “proprietary” GenAI code.
The loss of Yanar Mohammed is a devastating blow to the feminist movement. Yet her legacy of struggle will remain alive in every woman who reclaimed her life through her support, and in every stand taken against violence and discrimination.
Resident Evil Requiem . Estoy viendo que parece un buen juego pero que no tengo forma de jugarlo (no esta para la switch 1, no para linux, ...)
De modo que esperaré 10 años o más para jugarlo como me suele pasar. Y lo mismo lo disfrutaré en un emulador o algo así
Me niego a comprar una switch 2 o ps5 para un juego que seguramente podrían haber sacado en la switch 1 exprimiendo o comprimiendo o bajando de calidad. Y tendrían ahora mismo ventas posibles aseguradas
