- parineum 7mo agoGavin doesn't make laws and should have vetoed this one.
- vscode-rest 7mo agoLaws get made by whomever takes Gavin to the most dinners at the French Laundry. Don’t like this law? Good luck - reservations are booked out 6 months in advance.
- gzread 7mo agoWhy, what's wrong with it?
- jrey36 7mo agofor one, it bans linux as these distros do not have centralized user account data bases and the resources to comply
- wongarsu 7mo agoYeah, I think the idea of the law is fine. If you imagine "Operating System" to mean "things like Windows and iOS, or Desktop install of Fedora", "Application Store" to mean "Microsoft Store or AppStore or the like" and "Application" to mean "Word and Doom and stuff like that" then it's fine. Especially if you keep in mind that there isn't any actual verification of the age, it's simply set by whoever sets up the account Most of the issues only arise because in the bill "operating system", "covered application store" and "application"/"developer" have very loose definitions that match lots of things where the law doesn't make sense.
