      @ClickyMcTicker @catsalad @ramonfincken that's why I have not already lied about my kids ages and set them up multiple accounts on web services they're not old enough to use yet.

        @catsalad @ramonfincken Reading through this concept, I’d like to remind everybody that constantly polling a big wide honking bracket can be used to pinpoint exact details. Replying “under 13” every day until today (you now reply “13-16”) means today is your 13th birthday. There is zero point in adding brackets when services can already determine your exact age using this method.

        California needs to stop writing hopes & prayers and start writing laws which include expert guidance.

          we need to focus hard on building serious open hardware capacities, because if ppl will opt out of proprietary operating systems which verify age, they will move age verification into hardware, so we need to avoid proprietary hardware too. ...better to start immediately supporting that and sharing options, because its not a questiin IF, but only WHEN they will do that.

          @serapath @catsalad I've been thinking about this. We should design for bigger mode sizes. If we can manufacture open hardware on the same fans that make power electronics we're pretty much home free. We will have to give up peak performance and power efficiency to do so.

          In the meantime, don't throw out any hardware that runs and some of what doesn't. Old corpo laptops were cheap last I checked (double check because of RAM) and probably a good thing to buy by the palletload

            @catsalad @ramonfincken which means they will add it. The whole 'open source' and 'discussion' thing is a veneer over the fact that Shuttleworth is one of those people Big Mad about no more Apartheid, and super into phrenology, eugenics, and loves his pal Thiel.

              nobody said it was easy.
              the first published linux version 0.01 was published in 1991.
              Would anyone believe where this could go decades later? no!

              did anyone imagine open source 3D printers and a network of private ppl offering 3d printing services would ever be a thing?

              etsy even offers 3d printing services.

              It just needs a start.

              There are projects like the https://mntre.com/ and a lot of open tech exists to further grow an ecosystem

                @serapath @catsalad and people need to get this through their skulls right now.
                If that's your "solution" then you had better be prepared for nothing more advanced than a cut-down Raspberry Pi 1. You will never see anything resembling a modern processor again.
                Hardware is EXTREMELY capital intensive. You cannot "open source" a 12 layer PCIe AM5 motherboard. This is why people need to be making clear to hardware companies that this collaboration will result in consequences well beyond sales drops

                          @catsalad they will just lock the cpu on a hardware level unless your os supports the correct age verification protocol and dials home before loading.

                            That won't matter as the TPM on the MOBO will simply block you if you do not identify yourself.

                                        @catsalad what's bananas to me is there's a way to do this totally legally. Make it incentive-based instead of punitive.

                                        Create some criteria to certify an operating system as California Family-Friendly. Say the state will only buy such operating systems.

                                        Apple, Microsoft, and Google would absolutely do it and get certified. But the open source stuff could continue not giving a shit.

                                        Not the most ideal - still a privacy issue but at least it's not mandated, we'd have a choice to opt out.
