California is mandating OSes provide ages to app stores, and HN lost their mind because it's a ban on Linux.

Sounds like a good way to get rid of snap at least since that is where all the commercial bloat is located. Last time I did a fresh Debian install I do not remember installing any app from the os repository which would require age restrictions (afaik).
