Why does Ubuntu attract so many haters? Snaps might be a reason, but there's more to it. 😅
#Linux #Distros #USA #Ageverification #Altersverifikation #Fedora #Ubuntu #Canonical
Wenn man Youtube aufmacht und einem direkt das erste Video des Tages eine schlechte Laune und ein ganz mieses Gefühl gibt.
In Californien und Colorado gibt es seit einer Weile ein neues Gesetz zur Altersverifikation in Betriebssystemen/Computeraccounts. Sollen zum 1. Januar 2027 und 2028 in Kraft treten.
Betreiber von Betriebssystemen sollen das Alter der Person erfragen, die das Betriebssystem installiert. Und zwar, damit dann später App Stores eine Anfrage an das System senden können zur Altersabfrage.
Canonical und Fedora diskutieren wohl schon darüber, wie man das implementieren kann, weil sie (Zitat): "die Nutzer in Colorado und Californien nicht von der OS-Nutzung ausschließen wollen".
Wunderbar, das heißt, die große Mehrheit der Nutzer wird in Geiselhaft genommen, dafür, dass die USA ein Shithole geworden sind. Danke für nichts!
Hier das Youtube-Video und dann habe ich unter dem Hashtag hier im Fedi auch schon zwei Meldungen dazu gefunden:

Ubuntu is NOT adding age verification — but California's new law means Linux has a real problem brewing by 2027. A community mailing list post got mistaken for an official announcement. Canonical has confirmed: no plans, no changes, not yet. Here's what's actually going on 👇

#CaliforniaLaw is written by people who are either very ignorant or very incompetent.

They have assumed that all operating systems are like Microsoft Windows 11, Android, or iOS; and have written legislation for operating systems where people download glorified WWW client 'apps', from 'stores', which use 'accounts' that they have with vendors or Microsoft/Google/Apple.
But the legislation *as worded* *also* covers everything from #Debian and #Ubuntu through #Arch Linux and #MobaXTerm to #FreeBSD and #NetBSD and #OpenBSD; where users anonymously use package managers or ports systems to install applications, written by developers, on operating systems, from 'publicly available internet website' repositories.
There is no age field in the GECOS data in master.passwd(5) of course, and the reality is that no BSD or Linux-based operating system has this concept of apps/stores/accounts.
