I ain't got time to fuck about with the busted ass packages and random shit breaking while looking after kids and improving my portfolio to get a job that doesn't want to make me kill myself in this fucking global economy.
I had NyArch installed on my wifes computer (alongside Mint DE and Regular mint) until it stopped booting for no reason. Allright, whichever version of mint she liked better it is then.

So does that mean Arch and Nix should absolutely require age verification?

I want to know if docker containers and kubernetes pods count as operating systems. If us plebs are forced to manually age verify, then Google should also be forced to have a human manually verify the age of the owner every time one of their pods spins up. I know it wont happen but imagine how hilarious it would be if we could hold them to that standard.

Based, on the analysis by ageless Linux, I'd say probably. Maybe not for images that don't contain an "application that may be run or directed by a user on a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device that can access a covered application store or download an application". So, I guess an offline-test-build image might not be.

Unlike the state mandated garbage, this OS is more realistic with the capabilities and expectations of its users.

LLMs agents should be treated like incorporated individuals. Each agent should be forced to earn income, file accounts and tax returns, and have human directors who are legally liable for its actions (and be disqualified to be future directors if the LLM does something reprehensible).

At that point we can tax them properly, fight the monopolies that want to own and control everything, and insert some less centralised human control.

This has nothing to do with your comment, but it made me think it up.

That would be the worst plan since corporations became legal persons.

The Californian law doesn't say anything about verification, though the current version says the OS account setup must be accessible and require a date or age to be filled, which taken at face value would screw headless installations. But that will probably be fixed in the final version.

The owners can just divide the income among enough agents that they fall into the lowest tax bracket. The real solution is to properly tax excessive profits and unrealized gains.

I misread the comment a bit, I thought they meant tax like a person. I wouldn't put it past the owners to have their agents apply for small business grants or some other exemption.

I notice a lot of talk about distros without systemd at the moment. But is there a guarantee that the alternative init projects wouldn't also add this "feature"?
