I ain't got time to fuck about with the busted ass packages and random shit breaking while looking after kids and improving my portfolio to get a job that doesn't want to make me kill myself in this fucking global economy. I had NyArch installed on my wifes computer (alongside Mint DE and Regular mint) until it stopped booting for no reason. Allright, whichever version of mint she liked better it is then.

Stupid catgirls.

I want to know if docker containers and kubernetes pods count as operating systems. If us plebs are forced to manually age verify, then Google should also be forced to have a human manually verify the age of the owner every time one of their pods spins up. I know it wont happen but imagine how hilarious it would be if we could hold them to that standard.

[-] horn_e4_beaver@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 2 months ago

LLMs agents should be treated like incorporated individuals. Each agent should be forced to earn income, file accounts and tax returns, and have human directors who are legally liable for its actions (and be disqualified to be future directors if the LLM does something reprehensible).

At that point we can tax them properly, fight the monopolies that want to own and control everything, and insert some less centralised human control.

This has nothing to do with your comment, but it made me think it up.

[-] anton 12 points 2 months ago

The owners can just divide the income among enough agents that they fall into the lowest tax bracket. The real solution is to properly tax excessive profits and unrealized gains.

[-] 0x0@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

unrealized gains.

Yup.

That would be the worst plan since corporations became legal persons.

[-] badgermurphy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

What's funny about that is, at least in the USA, they never really did. It was decided in a courtroom that corporations are legal persons as a part of a case over 100 years ago and has been worshipped as legal precedent ever since. Practically this whole mess in the USA, in my opinion, was destined to happen the day that court ruling was made.

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 15 points 2 months ago

Based, on the analysis by ageless Linux, I'd say probably. Maybe not for images that don't contain an "application that may be run or directed by a user on a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device that can access a covered application store or download an application". So, I guess an offline-test-build image might not be.

Allowlists are for the owner class only

[-] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The Californian law doesn't say anything about verification, though the current version says the OS account setup must be accessible and require a date or age to be filled, which taken at face value would screw headless installations. But that will probably be fixed in the final version.

[-] Aatube@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

being accessible headless is still accessible

[-] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

But being required to present an interface at account creation is not compatible with large scale orchestration.

9front is the only OS I know that actually has a minimum age recommendation on their web landing page: "Ages: 5 & Up"

[-] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Unlike the state mandated garbage, this OS is more realistic with the capabilities and expectations of its users.

Devuan is debian without systemd for those intrested. OpenRC is pretty nice.

[-] EatMyPixelDust 2 points 2 months ago

I notice a lot of talk about distros without systemd at the moment. But is there a guarantee that the alternative init projects wouldn't also add this "feature"?

[-] forestbeasts@pawb.social 7 points 2 months ago

Honestly, they seem a lot less shitty culturally in general (less take-over-the-world-y). It's not a guarantee, of course, but they're probably less likely to do that.

Also (and perhaps more importantly), once you're on any alternative init, you can move between init systems pretty easily (though you may have to rewrite any custom scripts you wrote, sysvinit scripts should be compatible with everything). It's just the init system you're swapping out, and not all sorts of random system stuff like systemd's got its tentacles into.

We use OpenRC on stock Debian. It actually works pretty well, and I'm REALLY hoping it stays that way.

[-] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 months ago

Ditto. I run OpenRC{,-init} on Gentoo and it's really simple. Even managed to swap my system to systemd to prove intune can be run (that garbage links directly to systemd, unfortunately). Proved my point, it didn't go anywhere, now back to openrc.

My Debian installation on my desktop is nearly old enough to drink: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=895686 should be accurate for all vim users. πŸ˜…

Fedora myself, so I'm at least 22 verifiably.

[-] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

So does that mean Arch and Nix should absolutely require age verification?

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Arch, no.
PopOS, yes.

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yes. Now if you used Gentoo btw, then no.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 months ago

I got a similar whimsical comment when asking in CRUX's irc chan.

It's not valid though. That casual ageism. Loads of youngsters use such things. Best time to start. Old dogs learn tricks harder.
