    raspberry pies basically debian, and they used to be aimed at kids back when they were good.

        I have a pi 500+ at my dads house to use when I’m there as well as so my dad doesn’t have to bother my brother for his laptop to use word. It runs libreoffice fine enough and despite being a bit choppy firefox works fine. I only wish it had tactile switches instead of clicky.

      Arch yes, nix no. It’s about the age of the user base, not the age of the distro. Arch is popular with gamer children, and completely unsuited for any professional use, while nixos is the complete opposite.

      And you wouldn’t guess it, but both of those are older than ubuntu and fedora.

    9front is the only OS I know that actually has a minimum age recommendation on their web landing page: “Ages: 5 & Up”

      Unlike the state mandated garbage, this OS is more realistic with the capabilities and expectations of its users.

    I want to know if docker containers and kubernetes pods count as operating systems. If us plebs are forced to manually age verify, then Google should also be forced to have a human manually verify the age of the owner every time one of their pods spins up. I know it wont happen but imagine how hilarious it would be if we could hold them to that standard.

      Based, on the analysis by ageless Linux, I’d say probably. Maybe not for images that don’t contain an “application that may be run or directed by a user on a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device that can access a covered application store or download an application”. So, I guess an offline-test-build image might not be.

        Unless you have a minimal docker image, it will have a package manager. And the OS images used in data centers also have a full blown distro more often than not. But I’m pretty sure the definition is going to be tweaked, because the level of chaos it would cause otherwise would be unfathomable.

      LLMs agents should be treated like incorporated individuals. Each agent should be forced to earn income, file accounts and tax returns, and have human directors who are legally liable for its actions (and be disqualified to be future directors if the LLM does something reprehensible).

      At that point we can tax them properly, fight the monopolies that want to own and control everything, and insert some less centralised human control.

      This has nothing to do with your comment, but it made me think it up.

          What’s funny about that is, at least in the USA, they never really did. It was decided in a courtroom that corporations are legal persons as a part of a case over 100 years ago and has been worshipped as legal precedent ever since. Practically this whole mess in the USA, in my opinion, was destined to happen the day that court ruling was made.

        The owners can just divide the income among enough agents that they fall into the lowest tax bracket. The real solution is to properly tax excessive profits and unrealized gains.

      The Californian law doesn’t say anything about verification, though the current version says the OS account setup must be accessible and require a date or age to be filled, which taken at face value would screw headless installations. But that will probably be fixed in the final version.
