Officially Linux or other strictly open source licensed #operatingsystems are except from os verification laws the u.s. At least in California.

So as a User of tech you can just use that and never have to age verify at the os level.

However this doesn't yet get a clear answer for federated mastodon or other #activitypub services. There's still uncertainty.

But due to the decentralized nature you can as a user can just pick a specific hosted location whether a specific u.s state or a country that might not legally require an age verification.

ZDNet: How I turned my ancient Windows PC into a Chromebook for free – with FydeOS. “FydeOS is a Linux-based OS that looks and feels just like ChromeOS, down to the Material Me design. It includes background updates (so you don’t have to worry about remembering to update), seamlessly supports web, Android, and Linux apps, boots in 8 seconds, uses read-only access and ‘virus armour’ for hardened […]

Geeks Are Sexy: Someone Crammed a Working Windows XP PC Inside a Walnut. “Forget Raspberry Pis, mini PCs, and laptops. Someone looked at a walnut and thought, ‘You know what this needs?

Lilbits: Clicks Communicator, another use for the Anbernic RG Rotate, and two tiny operating systems

The Clicks Communicator is a modern smartphone that borrows some ideas from classic BlackBerry phones. Made by the same folks behind the Clicks keyboard cases for existing phones, the company’s first full-fledged phone has a square screen, a QWERTY keyboard, and a customized Android interface.

Clicks began taking pre-orders for the Communicator at the start of the year, and plans to begin […]

MS-DOS 2.0 on the Apple IIe (March 2026)

An Apple II enthusiast ported MS-DOS 2.0 to an Apple IIe running an ALF AD8088 Plus 8088 card (a much simpler device than the PC Transporter) designed for CP/M-86.

It boot, supports 80-columns, reads the clock, reads disk data from a shared ProDOS file on the IIe's hard disk.

Stated plans from the author, Seth Kushniryk, include Super Serial and Uthernet II support as well as running CP/M-80 on MS-DOS on ProDOS with a V20 swapped in for the 8088.

We got there in the end.

This took a couple of days to figure out how to boot custom code and even get away from Open Firmware’s tight clutches.

I hope that #Fedi is proud of me for dealing with the bullshit of Open Firmware.
