⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Colorado's Senate Bill 26-051 would require operating systems like Windows or Linux to include age verification during initial device setup. Introduced by Sen. Matt Ball and Rep. Amy Paschal, the bill mandates that OS providers prompt users or parents to enter a birth date or age during account creation. The bill remains pending, with a committee hearing scheduled for February 24, 2026. If passed, the requirements would apply to new device setups starting January 1, 2028.

Well, time to make my own private fork of Debian. This is in no way constitutional. Not that it matters. Mother fuckers.

Age verification for the goyim but we will keep hiring 8 year olds as terrorists in África.
Even worse, we'll still let non - identified single fighting age men of the muslim persuassion to stream across our borders, and we'll leave this treasure trove of data for any state to do with it what it chooses. Anyone who has read Edwin Blacks book IBM and the Holocaust, will know what a massive mistake this all is
lol who uses government forks of linux, they can verify themselves if they want im just gonna keep on using my shit dont need your approval mr government thanks
let's see how those who maintain the Linux kernel or those of the distributions respond, if they depend a lot on donations from Fiat, there they can force them to impose what they want, or they will do the same thing that the grapheneos people did that their developers left France once the state itself wanted to treat them like criminals for making a secure system.
any idea where to attack them? because we can complain all we want, but if you don't do something that could harm them, they will continue with this when they see that nothing can stop them.

They aren't imposing, they are contributing to open source.

Fuck off. If you're a Linux user then you've already opted out for privacy invading and tracking shit. I hope here will be a major backlash, but throwing money usually hets them what they want.
