Show pictures of:
A dial telephone with cord attached handset
A manual window crank
A manual can openerif you can identify 2 out of 3 accurately, you are old enough to use the internet/social media.

@PandaChronicle @nileane We have all three of these around and they've known since they were old enough to read that you lie when a computer asks for your age/birthdate.

stop. complying.@nileane We have millions of Epstein documents, pointing to a massive organization of "real" sex abusers, conducted by multi-billionaires who believe they are above the law, and California politicians are more concerned about locking down normie devices.
This law is a distraction from Epstein, and to all the victims that deserve actual justice. Prosecute the billionaires and distribute their wealth back to society so parents can be parents again.

Meanwhile, in previous history:
9000BC-1950AD - drawn boobies
1951-1995 - forest porn, copied cassettes.
1995-present - internetsI'm not like, pro children seeing pornographic material. But at the same time, I don't think it will cause brain damage or whatever conservatives think will happen.
I mean, when I opened WinZip and accidentally found my stepdad's archive of pornographic material when I was 8... It didn't exactly turn me straight did it?
... I really hope she didn't actually stick that water hose up there...

stop. complying.This take completely misses the fact that
A developer shall request a signal with respect to a particular user from an operating system provider or a covered application store when the application is downloaded and launched.
It doesn't require kernel changes, merely changes to every single user-facing application in a distro

stop. complying.@nileane That's a very reasonable technical solution to an otherwise unreasonable law that kids will be able to squirm their way out of in like, a week, tops.
You're right, why are we even having this discussion? It's propaganda designed to force the conversation into a limited space to make it easier to defend in spite of its obvious flaws.
The law (conveniently) doesn't outline any technical requirements. Did someone with technical experience even review it? Was it just one reviewer? Did they have a conflict of interest? It looks like it is vague, open to iterpretation, and by all accounts, modest. Maybe even, at first glance, reasonable. Inoccuous.
This leaves it wide open to last minute revisions or a more dramatic interpretation. Persona wouldn't need to do much to outbid any other solution providers to make themselves the gold standard by going above and beyond what the law requires on paper. A future "clarifying" revision could go much much harder and essentially make that the case. A little lobbying pressure wouldn't be out of the imagination.
And I mean, that's the best case scenario. It's a vague, low effort way to get the door open and the powers it provides to lawmakers would be trivial to expand once there's a precedent.
It's a pass from me. Legislate better. Make the tech bros pay taxes first.

stop. complying.@nileane If the "why" is not obvious, this civilization must relive its history in order to learn again.
When I see how authoritarian ideas, fascist movements, and the ease with which the media relay snippets of corruption without anyone batting an eye… I tell myself we're getting dangerously close to that point.
It's no longer naivety. It's pure and simple forgetfulness, and history never fails to remind us of that in such circumstances.

Surprise! Targeted advertising, of course!
