Can someone eli5 the idea? I don’t get it, even after reading the page. But now I want one.
It’s protestware, which is great.
I agree, but now I am torn because I’m protesting the US as a whole right now.
They’re breaking evil age verification laws on purpose as civil disobedience with cheap hardware
OK, the disobedience was the part I didn’t get. Thank you!
Insofar as part availability isn’t insurmountably impacted this also constitutes functional resistance to all manor of censorship and surveillance. If you can code, test on one of these
I can, but I probably won’t, because my backlog is full and overflowing. But it is cheap… damn.
California is adding a requirement for age verification for operating systems (or something like that) so each one of these violates that law by booting into linux.
Not just California. Several other US states are considering (or will be rolling out) similar laws, and Brazil’s version has already rolled out this month.
This was the part I got. But I wondered how that would help?
Except it’s not age verification and as see n by the systemd fork over this, the people hyperventilating over adding an API are making less secure systems
It’s not ‘hyperventilation’ it’s obvious fascism
JFC it’s “facism” to return an age bracket?
ooh! ooh! Can we restart the systemd wars??
Did the init war ever end? (I use shepherd btw)
