The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHZTeEN2HT0
What does online age verification laws actually have to do with the ENABLING of collecting data from children, China's surveillance and censorship laws, and the profits of companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google? A lot more than you think.
In this episode of Plain Meaning, I break down the real agenda behind the push for operating system age verification. From California's Digital Age Assurance Act to federal proposals in Congress, they have come from the same source. I trace who benefits, what laws get quietly gutted in the process, and why the timing lines up suspiciously with China's own digital surveillance rollout.
What you'll learn:
— Why Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta all win if these laws pass
— How age verification effectively nullifies existing laws that protect you and your children like COPPA and the Privacy Act of 1974
— What already happened in the UK under the Online Safety Act — and why it matters for America
— The striking parallels between Apple's product rollouts and China's surveillance
— Why this isn't about protecting kids at all but more about removing the remaining barriers SO THEY CAN TRACK THEMThis is Part 1 of the Plain Meaning 12-part Plain Meaning Special Report. Links to all episodes will appear as they're released.
The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws
The rest are coming soon...California's law takes effect January 2027. There is still time — but not much.

macOS is so frequently warning me that this or that app I launch will not be functional when Apple sunsets Rosetta 2 and its Ahead-Of-Time compilation, providing x86-64 -> ARM translation in macOS Golden Gate.
On the one hand, yes, this is a hard driver to get developers to update their app to native and, as such, provide higher performance and peak integration into the latest OS.
On the other hand...I've ridden this CPU platform switch train on the Mac long enough (having been here for every one that's happened), that I know many "little" apps that aren't huge moneymakers or maybe aren't any longer maintained will just cease to exist in on the modern Mac platform when this happens, and this saddens me greatly. Some of these apps I use often, even daily.
I neither look forward to nor praise this coming move from Apple.

Hi everyone! 👋 I know it's been a while since I was last here, but I had a very specific reason for it. I've spent the last few months with my small team intensely developing a project I mentioned to you once before. Every moment of my inactivity here was simply coding, designing the architecture, and endlessly solving problems :heart_cybre:
Today, I am proud to announce - LibreConnect has moved past the phase of vague plans and become a fully functional app! :flan_hurrah:
We managed to deliver what was absolutely most important to us - an ecosystem connecting your 💻 computer and 📱 smartphone that respects your privacy 100%. Zero external clouds and hidden telemetry. Everything is based exclusively on a direct P2P connection within your local network and strong E2E encryption 🔐
So, what can our app actually do?
- Virtual camera and microphone from your phone :blobcatcamera:
- Mobile device file manager right from your PC 📁
- Notification and clipboard synchronization 📋
- Receiving and sending SMS/MMS from your computer 💬
- Two-way media playback control 🎵
- Remote keyboard and presentation control from your phone :ablobcatbongokeyboard:
- Finding your phone by triggering a loud alarm (overriding silent mode) 🚨
- And a few other minor conveniences :sparkles_fiery:We also made sure the project is truly cross-platform. LibreConnect runs natively on :linux: Linux, :apple_inc: macOS, :windows: Windows, and :robot_3: Android. It's worth mentioning that the app isn't limited to just x86_64 architecture - we support ARM64 as well! To make updates easier, we've set up our own F-Droid repository, along with native packages for Linux package managers (APT, DNF, Pacman) :fdroid: :archlinux:
The code is 100% open-source under the GNU GPL v3.0 license :github: However, I have to be honest - the project is still very young. The app is highly usable, but it still requires optimization, might have some silly bugs, and can occasionally be unstable 🐛
That's why we need you so much right now. For the continued development of this app to make any sense, we need a small but engaged user base. I encourage you to install it, test it out, and report bugs, and for those interested - to join the project as contributors (you'll find a CONTRIBUTING.md in the repo) 🤝
If you like our vision, leaving a star ⭐ on our GitHub repository is the form of support we would appreciate the most. It's these stars that will allow us to take the project out into the world! Because of this, for the next few days, my activity here will focus mainly on promoting the app and its features - we need your help to build the right momentum. Thank you in advance for your support! :blobheartcat:

A chicken egg tool is a tool, in this case the GCC compiler, which you need in your GNU Linux Operating System to compile your programs.
The GCC compiler needs to be compiled first.
This means that you need another C compiler, to compile your GCC compiler.
The other C compiler will need to reside in another Operating System.In this specific example of building a GNU Linux multi tasking Operating System from the MS-DOS single tasking operating system, I used the Turbo C compiler, which was written by Borland. The Turbo C compiler, is a proprietary Closed Source compiler, which is delivered as a executable, not in source code.
Armed with the Turbo C compiler, I ran the following command sequence for compiling GCC
./configure
make test
# this runs the assembler program too
makeI did not run 'make install' because GCC needs to be installed in GNU Linux. I also used switches so that a Linux ELF Binary executable was created, not a MS-DOS executable binary.
The last step was to do a raw write of the GCC binary to the Linux file system.

Distributions are interwoven with the GNU principles.
Before distributions I would have to download the GNU program Source Code one by one, then cross compile (GCC for example) them.
Once chicken egg tools were cross compiled I could start with native
./configure; make; make test; make installQuote
Specifically, free software means users have the four essential freedoms: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions.
^ZThese are important pillars of Free Software

About GNU
GNU was launched in 1983 by Richard Stallman
Quote
The primary and continuing goal of GNU is to offer a Unix-compatible system that would be 100% free software. Not 95% free, not 99.5%, but 100%. The name of the system, GNU, is a recursive acronym meaning GNU's Not Unix—a way of paying tribute to the technical ideas of Unix, while at the same time saying that GNU is something different. Technically, GNU is like Unix. But unlike Unix, GNU gives its users freedom.
^ZRealize this
Without GNU, Linux {distributions} would *not* exist. You would only have a kernel after boot, no user land programsBe grateful for the existence of GNU

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Haiku-Slow-Git-StatusP.S.: As you may noticed, I didn't write the regular summaries for most news, just copy pasted the article titles. I decided to stop doing those summaries for most news (except for those where the article title doesn't tell much, like the GNOME 49 and Ubuntu 25.10 articles above), because it takes quite a lot of time which I can spend doing other, more useful things, plus writing those are pretty tedious, especially for the regular software releases, which aren't that interesting to me 90% of time, I don't really enjoy writing them anymore. But regardless, if I have some personal opinion about something, I'll share that, like I did this time too. Hope you find these posts useful this way too.

I have been working on a new #Rust project to get me back into Rust.
toaru-rs is a project aimed to bring Rust applications to #ToaruOS.
You can find it here on #GitHub:
https://github.com/IAmTheNerdNextDoor/toaru-rsIf you want to support me and what I do, please #Boost this post!
Now if you'll excuse me, it's almost 2am, I need my beauty sleep.

ahhh #ToaruOS, the only #OperatingSystem where you could do... whatever this is.
I love ToaruOS and it's Misaka kernel so much.
-
Experimented with #ToaruOS today and wrote my first ever syscall. Not just for ToaruOS, but in general.
(I had to make the panic() function non-static for this to work, but it was worth it.)
It’s my first time really tinkering with ToaruOS’s internals at the code level so I’m very proud of myself.
May write a guide for this eventually, lemme know if you wanna see that. It’ll be on my blog.
