Dear American government, I have a better idea: Ban proprietary software on routers. You can even go a bit further and ban proprietary OSes totally. This way nobody will spy on your citizens without their knowledge.

Than the Iranian regime is the worst.

They’re in life or dead situation, don’t have to worry about voters and can’t be checked by free media.

Stores the user’s birth date for age verification, as required by recent laws in California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26- 051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025), etc.

This is a poor wording

That law doesn’t require to verify the age of the user, it doesn’t have to, because it’s a law for parents.

What you’re saying is exactly slippery slope. You’re taking earlier examples of completely different laws, with different purposes and mechanisms, and you make your argument based on how the implementation of those laws worked.

Occam’s razor explanation of DMCA 1201: The law makers wanted to foolproof the law and implemented security measures that weren’t needed.

Also THE only argument you have for the fact thisaw is going to be changed is the law that changed (even if only temporarily) IN A GOOD DIRECTION!

You really made me laugh.

Who is pushing for this?

I want to know that too.

I know meta lobbied for app store accountability act or smth, I don’t remember it’s name. They didn’t do that to spy on people, but because they wanted to shift the blame.

This is a law FOR PARENTS.

It’s not a law for children, it doesn’t target to protect children from up, but to give parents the tools to set the age of the kids themselves.

Do you have any proof that those systems were created for control? You sure have if you express your opinions with such confidence.

But they did what the laws (Californian, Colorado’s and basically every other, except for the New York’s and Texan) required them to do.

Only penalty in this law is for OS makers that didn’t include such rules in the OS, paying per affected child.

Marie WHAT?

Maria Skłodowska-Curie

Slippery slope again

Lawmakers don’t care whether you’re 18 or 56

No it’s not the same.

Few ICE agents went rogue and they will probably be punished for what they did. Only if they aren’t we can start to compare those 2 actions.

In case of Iranian massacres, it’s systematic thing. The murders came from the top, not the bottom as it was for those few ICE incidents.

In fact ICE kill/agent ratio is around the same as for other parts of the US’es law enforcement.

But American government isn’t resposible for acts of domestic and international crime it’s citizens commit.

This is prime case of false equivalence.

If your president is a criminal, that doesn’t make your country responsible for their crimes, especially if they were unknown at the time of the election.

But regulators forced Apple to open up a bit

What modern country has totally collapsed in an economic sense?

Is this ragebait?

LMAO

From a non techical user perspective.

I used unmodified GNOME 40 and 49 for a week. There were few changes, I could absolutely see myself using the older version and not missing much.

In my opinion GNOME 4X is as good as linux DEs get. I would like to see some popular extensions getting official support and native dynamic tiling, but besides that it’s hard to see room for improvement.

Removing X11 is a big deal, but most users won’t see it as such.

Do you guys understand what total economic collapse means?

No modern country has ever totally collapsed

They’re 100% planing boots on the ground invasion with that amount of money

I find this hard to believe. What is the reasoning for that?

Edit: I read the report. The reasoning seems believable, but the tiers seem to be too narrow. Also the title of the post is a clickbait.

Some may argue that it is imperialistic propaganda, because it doesn’t include concept of people’s democracy.

I don’t think total economic collapse is possible, but not having some kind of recession in 14 years would be weird
