@gamingonlinux There's 100% chance that Microsoft, Meta, and Same Altman are behind this.
@AeonCypher @gamingonlinux yes, they are.

- REFUSE TO COMPLY!

@revk@toot.me.uk @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social Do you really think #Cyberfasicst care about the reality? - They'll criminalize #MSDOS and other OSes under *false pretenses* just like they criminalize #Monero! - REFUSE TO COMPLY!!! https://jorts.horse/@kkarhan/116408665960000292

@gamingonlinux speaking as a parent, I’ve decide that no company gets to know who is using my or my kids’ computers or what their age is.
What are they going to do? Toss me in jail for ticking the checkbox that says “disable this really very important feature, you naughty user you” that every distribution will put in to get through some vague loophole that will inevitably sneak its way in to whatever chatgpt-generated specification the law ends up requiring?
I mean yes, probably.
