If, one day, it’s you facing charges for a very very bad accident, you are going to be really happy that courts aren’t a blood thirsty as you are.

Linux Community: It’s Free Software. You can do what you want!

Also Linux community: BUT NOT THAT!

You are going to get downvoted to hell on this platform, but you aren’t wrong. You aren’t alone though. There are at least two of us that can think rationally about this.

The anti-California age law reaction in tech-bro internet circles is really irrational.

Well, very possibly.

That’s actually a funny consequence I hadn’t thought of. A media company could go to a pirating site and then file a police report claiming neglect of child protections. That could really start to spiral quick…

Yes, it was negligent. Absolutely. Yes driving a motor vehicle comes with responsibility. Absolutely. Which is why the judge took away her driver’s license.

Sue her in civil court. This isn’t deserving of a life sentence.

I swear. Progressives can be the most bloodthirsty people.

First time offense. Clearly an accident. No intentionality. Exhibited remorse for the actions.

This isn’t a shockingly low sentence. It’s completely normal. It’s a tragedy, but sentencing her to life in prison isn’t going to bring the family back.

The estate can still sue her in civil court.

You’ll get age-gated in a heart beat.

He did nothing wrong.

The voters elected Trump president.

And the 65 year olds that watch local news shake their fists in rage.

The funny thing is that by January 7, all the bros screaming “I’ll never use an OS that asks my age” will have switched to an OS that asks their age because they can’t go a week without their porn.

You should never judge a lawyer by his client.

In America everyone has a right to a lawyer. Even that guy.

Pixel isn’t sold with GraphineOS. You have to install it yourself.

I read the book when it came out. One of the few books I’ve ever pre-ordered just because it was written by Andy Weir. I wasn’t disappointed.

I’ll say, the single best part about it is that the story has the best supporting character since Chewbacca.

I think it’s more likely that soon China will start heavily pushing out a forked version of Linux on cheap fully home-built PCs. Then it’s basically game over for American software companies.

I think it’s going to be higher than that. I think a lot of counties will start rapidly migrating away from American software companies, and the only alternative is Linux. China will soon really start pushing out their own fully home-grown cheap PCs to the world with some flavor of Linux as the OS. American software companies won’t be able to compete.

Globally, I bet the desktop marketshare for various flavors of Linux is pushing 90% by 2040.

Going to watch Project Hail Mary today.

That sounds like an awesome experience!

Democrats would have won every election since 2004 if it wasn’t for GOP efforts to disenfranchise voters (and also Democrats negligence in protecting those voters from disenfranchisement.)

Are there any actual “GraphineOS” devices currently for sale anywhere?

(I know Motorola has some plans to roll out GraphineOS phones in the future, but this would probably complicate those plans if GraphineOS really prohibits Motorola from complying with laws.)

You should watch the Scouts “Safe Guarding Youth Training” program.

The scouts very likely have stricter youth protection policies then your kid’s school does.
