The login is a great Option for people like me who have a youtube account, in my case with premium even, but prefere the features and design of this app over the official one.
In this case privacy, in regards of my music taste and hearing patterns, is something I don’t care about much.
It was a game for the C64 and I was 12, but I am not sure what game it was. Such a long time ago.
I can’t wait for the first videos from people who turned that Ai slime into an mysognostic, racist, pile of blue shit!
Governor Gavin Newsom signed the California Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043) into law on October 13, 2025.
It is a valid law, it only has a postponed start date of January 2027 to give everyone time to get their Systems ready.
In advance of what? The law is already enacted, and the time until it gets active is exactly there for preparation and development.
It would be in advance if he had done it when the law was still in the plan phase, but that is way done.
It is not complying in advance, it is beeing prepared for when the law becomes active and binding.
This can happen when gquotas are enabled, thats why gquotas are not recommended with snapshots
as far as I read the law, but i am neither a lawyer or even american, are those Option only needed for Systems with users and a user, as defined by the same law, is
(i) “User” means a child that is the primary user of the device.
The law says nothing about Systems that don’t have such a “user”, or at least i could not find anything.
So, there could be a valid argument that the law does differentiate.
Systems have to be ready and in place when the law becomes bindig and active, it is to late to beginn with the work then.
Because it is not only one dumb state but also multiple countries with such laws, either already active or as plans.
They will not ban it on Servers or for Corporate use, but ban it in youth Centers, in schools, in public libraries, and everywhere else where kids could have access to Computers. This will create another generation of people who only know close source Systems, most likely from Microsoft, who will have no issues with making their Systems compliant to the bindig laws.
I like to create partitions with specific max sizes, you can’t do that with btrfs subvolumes unfortunately. It is possible to set a quota but that can have a major performance impact with btrfs so it is not really a valid Option.
Thats why I shy away from using btrfs subvolumes.
KDE can be used absolutely fine with any other login manager, I personally use Ly https://codeberg.org/fairyglade/ly to login Info kde on wayland.
Not sure if this is helpfull:
https://www.landesrecht-bw.de/bsbw/document/jlr-JMedienSchStVtrGBWV10StVtr-P3
§ 3 Begriffsbestimmungen
Im Sinne dieses Staatsvertrages sind
- Anbieter eines Betriebssystems eine natürliche oder juristische Person, die Betriebssysteme bereitstellt,
A distributor of an operating system is a person or legal entity who provides operating systems.
It is extremely vague, it could be everyone from the creators of the distribution, to the person/company running the download mirror, down to the person who does the installation.
Without some court rulings to bring some guidelines and practical applications of the law there is the risk that everyone handling a non-compliant OS could be judged under the law if someone under 18 could get access to to OS or a System running it.
From the law:
§12 Jugendmedienschutzstaatsvertrag: https://www.landesrecht-bw.de/bsbw/document/jlr-JMedienSchStVtrGBWV10StVtr-P12
(1) Anbieter von Betriebssystemen, die von Kindern und Jugendlichen üblicherweise genutzt werden im Sinne des § 16 Abs. 1 Satz 3 Nr. 6, stellen sicher, dass ihre Betriebssysteme über eine den nachfolgenden Absätzen entsprechende Jugendschutzvorrichtung verfügen. Passt ein Dritter die vom Anbieter des Betriebssystems bereitgestellte Jugendschutzvorrichtung an, besteht die Pflicht aus Satz 1 insoweit bei diesem Dritten.
(3) In der Jugendschutzvorrichtung muss eine Altersangabe eingestellt werden können.
“normies” will not care at all
I don’t understand what you mean in this context
It is mandatory that Distributions follow the laws, because without it they can’t be used in classrooms, libraries, youth centers, or in any other places where kids or other young people can have access to them. That means that, as long as such laws exist, only close source Systems (most likely windows) can be used there if linux is not compliant. Not SystemD is the issue or the problem here, hanging them is like shooting a messanger when he brings bad news.
I really liked Starfield and had lots of fun with it and the first Dlc.
Looking forward to playing the new one two, but not that soon. I started a highly modded Morrowind playthrough a few days ago and that will take ages to play.
