I love how big corp is already ready. It's almost as if they somehow knew all along that all the govs with bribable legislators would be making laws they all seemed to arbitrarily adopt at once. Can't wait for the shill AI slop response to this comment making it seem like a good idea.
You elected the government and regulator who caused this. Make sure it doesn't happen again.
Can you try to send an explicit image while offline?
i use fedora asahi remix with kde on M1, so far it's great except the battery life is not as good as in macos but i don't care ... finally i escaped the shitty glass design among other shitty things apple does... and have been using Grephene for more than a year, It's honestly the most stable, seamless OS i tried, the kind of OS that just works and doesn't annoy you. imo even better than ios !
So now California has a governor pretending to be pro-Palestine to do damage control while signing laws that give Zionist corporations more control over your data and hardware
So what's actually going on in Cali for them to have such a douchebag governor?
Probably strong influence from corporations, billionaires, other wealthy people, and NIMBYs, along with fearmongering from establishment media to distract from actual problems. And Democrats realizing they can't win on a pro-genocide platform so now they have to at least pretend to give a shit.
If you ever thought Gavin was anti-Trump, I have news for you 😄
Oh he's anti-Trump alright. But that's just meaning that he wants to take Trump's place.
Fuck Trump tho am I rite?
Yes but Trump isn't the one doing the age verification mandates
Majority will accept it, they dont care and governments and corpos like this
I’ve been an apple user my entire adult life
It's time to grow up.
You think this isn't coming to other devices? Google will presumably add this to Android and apps will follow suit by looking to the OS to verify your age so other forks will probably have to add it. Linux on smartphones is dead in the water so what's the alternative?
You think google wont do this?
I bet people will just accept it and not even think twice about it.
I see you too were born on January 1st 1970.
For sure. Majority of people will happilly take a selfy and send it to whatever company without a second thought.

"Must be outside of California, Colorado, and Brazil to download this Linux ISO"
"Must be outside of California, Colorado, and Brazil to proceed with installation"
I'm in canada!
oh i'm not in California, I'm in Egypt. I'm waist deep in denial.
Which do y'all think is worse? [Serious]
I don't do serious, sorry
Eventually: must be in Antarctica to use this distro
Wait, send explicit images? I'm not a child, I get that on these platforms my privacy is pretty well gone, but is it explicitly known (confirmed from the source) that these companies scan your images too?
That feels extra fucked up. Like "hold on a sec bucko let me check this photo you're trying to send real quick to make sure it's not titties "
where do you think they got the database for their porn generating llms?
They definitely do. That’s how you can search photos by their content on iOS or android.
but is it explicitly known (confirmed from the source) that these companies scan your images too?

Yes, doesn't need to be confirmed in source when Apple makes it a feature
I just hope this doesnt impact macos until the end of the year, then I will be able to move to linux on my laptop.
You know they want to impose age verification on Linux as well right? Linux is still the way to go, but I am so not ok with what they ate trying to do.
