Self driving cars. Ten years ago I said, “we’ll have this worked out in 10 years”. What a fool I was.

First you have to define what is Linux (does ChromeOS count? How about Android? Alpine? What makes something “Linux”), and what is a desktop (do laptops count? How about portable handhelds/phones with a desktop mode?).

But Android is a Linux… Not GNU/Linux, but neither is Alpine.

I see you too were born on January 1st 1970.

One time as I was driving, a song started on the radio and I started crying but I didn’t know why. Then I realized it was “The Planets”, and I was thinking of Sleepytime.

They basically defined curl as an app store: “facilitates the download of applications”

You’re right that mostly the reasonable thing was related to previous law.

Not just Linux, but embedded OS’s too. Also, the age verification requirement is a “reasonable attempt”, so maybe a prosecutor decides full face scan checks are the minimum “reasonable effort”. Will it hold up? Who knows, but can you afford to litigate it?

Note, there are not exceptions for headless installs, or OS’s without an account.

But embedded computing devices these days are regularly general computing devices, and have been for a long time. If my insert appliance x with an ARM processor isn’t a general computing device, then why is my raspberry pi?

But also, every FreeDos install ,server, managed network switch, IoT device, gas pump, etc. now needs to verify user age.

Also, it has to make “reasonable” effort to verify the age. Maybe just asking your age isn’t considered reasonable by the state. Since the law doesn’t lay out what to do, anything you do might become unreasonable depending on the winds of the day.

It goes way beyond Linux. Think any device that could download something at some point. Gas station pump, calculator, FreeDos, VxWorks, etc.

There is a lot of language like “or can download an application”, so if you can download something, then that thing could be an application, and thus that device and it’s OS is covered.

Like an XSD file?

For example: Ukraine touts recapture of eight settlements in rare battlefield success

Just wait till you hear about how they call cities and towns in other countries “settlements” to make you care less about them being destroyed. Even when those places are older than the USA.

1. Programming language invented: Everyone can code now! Programming is dead!
2. Cobol invented: Everyone can code now! Programming is dead!
3. BASIC invented: Everyone can code now! Programming is dead!
4. UML to Code/Executable UML: Everyone can code now! Programming is dead!
5. Low code: Everyone can code now! Programming is dead!
6. AI: Everyone can code now! Programming is dead!

Yep, any day now…

Finally! I can move on from Linux Vista, but I’m skipping 8 and just waiting for Linux 10.

In D&D 3.5, a lot of those are templates you can stack to your heart’s content.
