fennell.dev is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
The proposed California law requiring age verification on all OSs is just silly. How do you enforce a border on a kernel?
Unless they mandate locked bootloaders at the OEM level, which is a direct attack on #RightToRepair , they can't stop anyone from installing a #Linux distro. It is a move that only hurts law abiding users while being trivial for anyone with a thumb drive to bypass.
Privacy is a right, not a verified privilege.

@demoographics is entirely right with all they wrote to the mailing list. But we (not only #Debian, rather all larger free software distributions) are in an unpromising position: The #Linux #kernel itself does contain #AI generated code already or will contain such code RSN. We also cannot rule out, that other relevant upstream projects will take a #genAI friendly policy regarding code contributions. No matter, if we like it or not: We cannot exclude #LLM generated code categorically.
If a casual chat about #Linux and #FOSS over a curry sounds fun, please come join us! Just reply to me by the end of 21 January so I know numbers for the booking.
