Canonical plans to improve boot-time security by removing security features, like full disk encryption: https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=showheadline&story=20158

@itsfoss MidnightBSD was one of the first to introduce age delcaration code. And Ageless is just Debian with the name changed. Might be a bit out of line to say they are doing anything against age verification.

Meanwhile System76 has actively pushed back against age verification laws and may have an exemption lined up in Colorado and is nowhere in this image.

Whenever I hear someone say "____ is the future!" I get the impression they don't realize what they are saying is "It's not useful now".

@plexus Let's not forget that code output by LLMs are probably not subject to copyright (and include training on copyrighted works), making them a legal landmine for any project or product that includes output from LLMs.

@kobold @nixCraft We have a list of open source operating systems without systemd. It's one of our most requested search criteria: https://distrowatch.com/search.php?ostype=All&category=All&origin=All&basedon=All&notbasedon=None&desktop=All&architecture=All&package=All&rolling=All&isosize=All&netinstall=All&language=All&defaultinit=Not+systemd&status=Active#simple

@bazkie @nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft Devuan is Debian with an alternative init.

Antix provides multiple init implementations.

FreeBSD is not hard if you are used to Debian.

@nixCraft "Why systemd is dealing with age verification stuff?"

systemd wants this deal with everything. No surprise they want to be part of the "solution" to this user privacy nightmare.

Asahi Linux, which enables running Fedora on Apple M-series hardware, has been updated: https://distrowatch.com/12765

@itsfoss This isn't a distro so much as just a script that changes the ID of the distro. Their GitHub link gives a 404 error.

Literally nothing to see here.

@IncHulk @fesshole Or ask for tips on how to solve the cube.

@ptribble Is there any place on-line where we can find a list of packages that are available on the ISO? For example, OpenIndiana usually has a ".list" file that has the output from "pkg list".

@gunstick @unaegeli @signalapp Messages that come in are not a prompt and don't look or act like any popup or prompt.

@unaegeli @signalapp One is an in-app prompt. The other is a message, text or email. They don't look anything alike.

@temmie19 The time travelling PinePhone. ... I'd watch that show.

@devSJR For postmarketOS? The PinePhone, as I mentioned in the above post. It's one of the originals, not a Pro model.

When impressed with postmarketOS on my PinePhone. It's been running smoothly for the past 46 days.

Ubuntu and Fedora discuss California's age verification law: https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=showheadline&story=20145

@nixCraft I think the effect you are describing has more to do with the state of the BBC than the state of the world. They make more money making people scared and depressed than happy.
