This is how I see latest development. After the Epstein files came out and after people who aren’t really built to summarize such great amounts of information more or less settled on the how many times somebody ghas been ‘mentioned’ in those files,, no matter the context, no matter hwether they were mentioned as an enemy or a friend, and after it became obvious that none of the two major American political parties will actually profit with these released files (because ‘mentioned’ numbers are high for idols on both sides), then… the only way to keep blaming the other side is to start pretending you are the one doing things ‘to help’.

It doesn’t matter if the ‘help’ is actually a real help - what matters is that you’re seen as the guy/girl ‘boldly making the right thing’ or some shit like that.

We then enter the “there’s no bad ideas here!” territorry. And from this territory of clueless polititon’s interns comes the latest batch from California and Colorado. It’s crucial to them that they wanna be seen as the first defenders of children and they had to rush this out, before the other side comes up with something just as LARPing. SO there was no time to actually think of something that can make sense… No, we’re just gonna force Linux developers to start ‘enforcing age verification’ (read: declaration)… at boot time!!! And if they don’t do it, let them pay 6k $ per install. Yeah… seriously!

Now I know a normie just might bite into this and just might exclaim: “I don’t see anything wrong with that! What are you, against children safety or something? Are you pro Epstein island or something?!?!” But you see… the problem is not just that this is unenforcable without the immdeate conncetion to some agency that checks an ID - on a fcking open source level, but that actually means that, if passed, you won’t be able to develop stuff the way you want anymore. The governmment will be IN YOUR OS! Not just any operating system… But an open source system - by fcking law! This is lunatc level debilitating for creation! This is like saying: fck off! Begone to fcking China for all I care! Here.. we keep kids safe by pretending typing in a number at boot will make them not login” Do you, normie, understand how incredibly intrusive this attempt is - for 0 reward! And why exactly? So that an 11 year old can’t enter a Linux OS just when it is starting to become more visible and more accesible to the wider public? You do understand that this is even more stupid than ‘tax the rich!’ in a state when ‘the rich’ can just move to a state that has zero tax? What’s worse, this is attempt at the control that opens the door to more control if passed. I do hope you’re not one of those people who still belived that when government takes 10$ from you it will always be just those 10$.
To me, suc acts are beyond creepy. And their only use is for the polititon to appear and only appear as helping. The actual result is destruction. Or a move of the project to another place. So yeah.. let’s just get rid of FreeBSD organisation which has been in Colorado since the 90’s. They’ll just be forced to pack and go somewhere where there’s not so much insanity. And they’ll take their brains with them, you … nuts! Polition will remain in Colorado though! The effect: a bigger idiots vs genious ratio on the idiot side, perpetrated by a bunch of idiots.

So the honest succincs title should actually be: Linux is under increasing attack by LARPing do-gooders promoting self-destruction as usual. Don’t be a fool, pleeeease! Don’t allow this disgusting garbage sold to you are ‘good’ is passed. You’ve been falling for this exact type of ‘we’re the good’ tricks for the last 30 years ffs! Don’t let the freedom behind the most important tech is destroyed on account of these deisgusting lying and idiotic oportunists. And before you shout: I don’t care about Linux.. I use Mac anyway… I’ll just respond with: how about your TV? Your autoradio. Your whole computer in your car. Every non iOS phone an every little smart device you’0ve ever see or owned. You see, my man, they are all fcking Linux! Linux is all around you and you’ve been using it for decades - ypou just didn’t know about it. And that.. should be the pointer when you should realize that this is actually that important. Without Linux… all those devices… gone.. or 10x-100x more expensive jsut so the company can pay the licence to some ununknown company who’d evelop it on old Linzx code and call it ‘propriatary’ from then on.

Wake the fck up and don’t allow the brain-drain on one hand or far worse open-source self-destruction!
