  • I find that it really depends. Some contracted work mostly take specialised equipment, where the necessary skill is something you can pick up. The cost of the equipment is often (at entry level, but more than good enough for the task at hand) less than the show + a couple of hours.

    You spent the whole weekend maybe. But you learned something new. Got some nice tools. And more often than not, did a better job because you didn’t rush anything.


  • I’m genuinely curious as to what the fuck identifying on the OS level has to do with social media, and then what the fuck that has to do with protecting kids. If you’re a parent who engages with your child, and… hear me out here… take care of your child, restricting access is done the same way they they don’t get access to detergents, and similar.

    In the consumption of media, have tools that let parents manage and control the type of content they can access. Similar to how you can child proof cabinets.

    And, back to my original question. What the fuck does this have to do with identifying on the fucking operating system level?

    I’m genuinely curious if anyone pushing this has been asked to justify this? Surely, you’d expect some aspect of reasoning to be behind this, no?




  • It’s also what Linux should be doing in general,. It’s not even the US. It’s a fucking state in the US that is doing something stupid on behalf of Meta.

    Any Linux distro should just put the onus on the CA legislature. Have a TOS that specifies that it does not comply with CA law, and as such isn’t legal there. No need for any implementation change. Businesses in CA can take it upon themselves to comply by maintaining a fork that adds any sort of BS. But, more than likely, the dimwits who didn’t know better and listened to Meta, might be surprised to find jusy how much everything runs on Linux (except a tiny number of user facing devices).
