And there are all sorts of operating systems, ranging from desktops to doorbells, so how is that even possible.

Dystopian California.
I hope Californians know how to use torrents.

@Sekerias inb4 the use of torrent clients will come with age verification too.
Cus ya know, gotta protect those innocent children from torrenting pr0n...

@nixCraft@mastodon.social It's worse than you might think. The developer @laffer1@bsd.network didn't just add download restrictions (which would have been ok in my book), but they actually added this restriction to the copyright license of MidnightBSD as well, making the entire project nonfree software.

The more cannibals are in power, the more they want to protect children.
The best protection for children is put a bullet in the head of those creatures who write these laws and eat children on their private islands.

@nixCraft The world has gone completely nuts.

@henrik @nixCraft Imagine if every user of an ATM or a parking payment machine had to enter their birthdate, or have to scan their ID…

[windofchange@mastodon.online]

@henrik @nixCraft I was thinking the same thing. I bet every californian has OS in every home appliance.

@nixCraft @janvlug “check out FOSS torrents” Torrent is the best way to download Linux ISO’s

[bartv@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft That's not 100% accurate - they're showing a warning but I don't think they're actively blocking anything? So it's more like the typical American legal bullcrap.

@nixCraft is this real?
