  1. 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 THEM

    This is Part 1 of the Plain Meaning 12-part Plain Meaning Special Report. Links to all episodes will appear as they're released.

    California's law takes effect January 2027. There is still time — but not much.

  12. Vibe Coding is...well. I can tell you in various places what it isn't. It isn't fun when someone decides a bug is a rare error condition that isn't their responsibility to quash, particularly when it's in an #OperatingSystem.
    You don't get to fly the plane. The fact that that bug is now flying the plane and your on board isn't a comfort to the rest of us...

  16. People are upset about debian but debian would have to reject the kernel to reject LLMs. The fish starts rotting from the head. No distribution will be better than the very kernel it runs. The entire ecosystem is collapsing.

    We really do have the 30M lines problem, as Molly Rocket put it. The kernel have always been a single point of failure

    We need a standardized SoC (system on chip) with entire system ISA (instruction set architecture). We need operating systems to be a weekend projects. We need thousands of operating systems. We need open source hardware that will enable that.

  17. #RISC_OS: I finally had a bit of time to upload a video with the first system boot into graphic demo for #MerlinOS It works fine on @raspberrypi 2, 3 and 4, but the video is from #QEMU which makes it easy to record both #kernel logs and Pi 2 display. Enjoy!
