How can one trust the date from the car without an audit into the software/hardware running at the time?

Not so Common Desktop Environment (NsCDE).

Didn’t know what this was till I clicked, so posting for others.

Looks like an EvE profile image.

UK assuming everyone online is a child unless they are willing to have their passport leaked.

The most reasonable choice now may not be the same forever. The optional indentifying fields themselves may have not have changed on Linux over the years but external changes in soceity has prompted this conversation.

With nefarious “child safety” laws popping up the introduction of an optional age field is tone-deaf and suspect. There are other objections to SystemD but this personally pushed me over the edge to finally try out another Linux distro (from Mint).

Personally I’d have little interest in Linux if not for it’s free software license.

Would Linux’s license not count as about Linux? I don’t know if this is the case here but there’s a lot of companies that sell hardware running Linux and refuse to follow the license, e.g. by providing source code.

A middle finger to those you’re jailbreaking from.

I worry this has the face of good news but is still bad news. “I didn’t speak up when they came for proprietary OS age verification because I used Linux” except we’re a minority so we’re next.

I assume these are internet friends, otherwise yeah just talk at school and discuss the scam over phone or whatever.

Another reminder to ditch Discord.

Perhaps patients have their place but software patients make no sense. One big issue is that it is not practical to avoid writing a system that already exists because there are many, many ways to describe the same software system. It’s so difficult to search every term that might be used that multiple people could have already patented the same thing and be unaware the other exists.

Only US allowed to spy on it’s denizens!!1

People not being sure what their router is actually doing is the issue. Instead of hoping for local manufactoring why not mandate against black box software running on the router? Mandate routers come with schematics like all electronics used to do? Promote computer literacy while you’re at it.

I can’t wait for people to have proprietary software running on their wifi brain implant

The zed-industries Github repository lists Zed licenses as AGPL, Apache and GPLv3.

The AGPL refers to the GNU Affero General Public license, which does not limit others from competing. Unless you mean the fact that forks must share source code when accessed over a network?

Never understood a terms of service existing if the project code license is GPL or such. Can’t this just be forked and cured of anti features, if people value it enough to do so?

Binding arbitration (aka, if we break the law you can’t sue us) ought to be illegal in every country.

Please do not, that’s disgusting, thank you.

Who decides what SecureBoot considers trustworthy? If SecureBoot is controlled by someone else then it can be used against the user. The aversion to SecureBoot is justified.

How do I "uncertify"y Android device? Install a fork I guess. Shame it’s not as easy as installing a new OS on the desktop.
