So, the EU Digital ID is threatening to kill alt Android and Linux phones, but this is also probably gonna screw over desktops too, because going by how it's laid out by Mental Outlaw here, desktops could start being required to run Win11 with Pluton enforcement to comply with this, which would not only lock out Linux and BSD desktops, but also older desktops in general which can't run Win11, and even older desktops which can run Win11 but are too old to support Pluton, meaning just like you have to buy a new Google or Apple phone to comply with this, you'd also have to buy a new Win11 desktop or laptop as well.

The KIDS Act just passed the House and it's on to the Senate now. Assuming this passes, it'll mark the end of online free speech and device ownership in the US.

Contact your Senators about it while you still can, I just got through writing both of mine.

So, these pricks aren't even hiding their intentions now, literally naming a new censorship bill, 'SOPA,' thinking people forgot about that failed 2012 bill that would've destroyed the web as we know it had it passed.

Greeeat....

So, SCOTUS just killed the Voting Rights Act. Greeat.

So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what's left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now's that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

So, this one is actually a bit special to me as it was inspired by an actual childhood experience I had where I got to sign my name in a section of wet concrete near my childhood home as a kid when the street was freshly rehabbed in that area at the time.

A crayon drawing of a class of bunnies playing with a parachute on their school playground during parachute day that I drew yesterday.

An oil pastel drawing of a cute spring meadow scene that I drew over the weekend.

A crayon drawing of a couple bunnies hanging out near a tree at a park that I drew a couple days ago.

So, I called it four months ago, but the Mac Pro is officially dead.

Here's the post in which I called that the Mac Pro was dead, only now it's official and Apple's discontinuing it.

Per the very first reply on their thread discussing it in their forums, which I linked directly to for the post title:

We'll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user.

However, what's gonna happen should the attempts to age-gate the XDG portal screw over alt-init distros like Artix too? My guess is maybe they start blocking regions which force age gating like Arch Linux 32 is doing.
