I think hosted would suit them best. It doesn’t even need to be decentralized, though I would rather avoid big tech.

remember not everyone speaks english fluently

I’m curious, what’s an example?

What happens to the California economy if they can’t use Debian? Could it survive that?

Hmmm, it’s C++

Not sure if it’s clear, but I’m not doing the patching - my dependency is.

Updated post to make it clearer.

I’m writing a library, to be distributed, and the library I’m depending on - that patches - is also intended to be distributed.

In the next phase of the legal proceedings, due to begin on 4 May, the attorney general’s office will seek additional financial penalties and court-mandated changes to Meta’s platforms that “offer stronger protections for children”, said Torrez.

The design feature changes the state is seeking include “enacting effective age verification, removing predators from the platform, and protecting minors from encrypted communications that shield bad actors”.

Unclear how age verification would play out with their Digital Childhood Alliance efforts.

Intentional Kessler syndrome?

AI boom is a poor choice of words, even though it’s intentional. And I don’t believe the article’s starting paragraph

For more than three years, AI has propped up global trade and investment and pushed stock markets from the US to Asia to record highs.

However, there is a boom in investment in AI, whether that actually yields anything or not. I read the article as meaning derailing that.

The consequences outlined in the rest of the article look to be agnostic to productivity

This will likely increase PC component prices. May even stop production.

I’m personally OK with that if it derails AI, but I did just finish building my PC.

Does clean rooming also work the other way round? Where open source models can reverse engineer proprietary binaries, upon which one can make “clean” open source copies?

Are there not just going to be dozens of linux forks without age verification?

Or people just move to the distros that don’t do this?

(Mac and Windows may be a lost cause?)
