  2. This week's Linux and FOSS news:

    LINUX NEWS

    Vendefoul Wolf Linux (Devuan-based) rejects age verification:
    xcancel.com/vendefoulwolf/stat
    (Never heard of this distro before, but it's always good to have some more options to go to, especially distros which reject most of the mainstream stuff which are more prone to age verification and other forms of corruption.)

    Qubes will do whatever upstream Fedora does (so likely comply):
    github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issue

    CachyOS also refuses compliance:
    discuss.cachyos.org/t/age-veri

    Garuda Linux plans to "comply" in the least invasive way possible, only with some checkboxes:
    forum.garudalinux.org/t/a-stat

    Parrot will only comply if legally forced to, it's implementation will be easy to bypass:
    parrotsec.org/blog/2026-04-02-
    (I wonder what they mean under being forced. When they receive an email from the authorities, or what? 🤔)

    OpenMandriva won't implement age verification, but won't remove it from Systemd, stating it can be useful for other things:
    forum.openmandriva.org/t/syste
    (The comment right below describes pretty well, what the problem is with this...)

    CuerdOS (Debian-based distro) rejects age verification:
    skyview.social/?url=https%3A%2

    HyraxOS (Linux Mint-based distro) also refuses age verification:
    hyraxos.weebly.com/age.html

    Fluff Linux (Arch-based) also says no:
    xcancel.com/flufflinux/status/

    And Athena OS (Arch and NixOS-based ethical hacking distro) too:
    github.com/BryanLunduke/DoesIt

    Debian Is Figuring Out How Age Verification Laws Will Impact It:
    phoronix.com/news/Debian-Undec

    Freeport project aims to strip Linux packages from age verification:

  3. Grand Bahama International MYGF → Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International KFLL

    After the quick detour to the Bahamas, I’m back in Florida. The approach into Fort Lauderdale came in from the east, flying directly over the airport. After a 180-degree turn over the Everglades, I then lined up for landing. As in the days before, there were strong crosswinds 🤷‍♂️

  4. Vero Beach Regional KVRB → Grand Bahama International MYGF

    A few miles east of Florida lie the Bahamas. Since I’m already in the area, I thought a quick detour there would definitely be worth it. And it was.

    >What’s more, Dow-Freeport is operating with a wastewater permit that expired in 2019 but has been “administratively continued” by TCEQ, according to an agency spokesperson. That means Dow is allowed to follow outdated rules while a TCEQ review of the facility’s new draft permit drags on.
    >
    >“It is concerning that this is coming up on five years, which is, frankly, the length of time a new permit would have been,” said Josh Kratka, a senior staff attorney at the National Environmental Law Center. While Kratka doesn’t know what’s transpiring between Dow and TCEQ specifically, he explained that many companies try to convince regulators that they can’t reasonably comply with pollution limits in order to delay enforcement. “Rather than really crack down, enforcing a solution quickly, the regulators just give them more time,” he said.

    This article was written in 2023. So far as I can tell, the permit in question, WQ0000007000, was originally granted in 1978. Its latest "approval date" is from 2016, and its latest "expiration date" is... STILL 2019. And yet the permit is still "active" rather than expired.

    You can check at: www6.tceq.texas.gov/wqpaq/inde

    Put in "WQ0000007000" for the State Permit No., click Add, then click Search.

    (Sidenote: still using ColdFusion? In 2025? Damn).

    Ouch.

  9. When is a #Freeport not a tax dodge and route to employee exploitation?

    When it’s a #Labour one apparently.

    Nope, not buying it.

    But I do hear loud and clear the vacuous chant of ‘growth’ from politicians who have confused raising the living standards of everyone with growing GDP. The two are not the same.

    How will #Reeves tackle the growing wealth gap?

    It’s odd this piece doesn’t mention her at all.
