Hannah Montana Linux, anyone who knows Hannah Montana is probably over 18 by now
It’s funny because Debian was the first Linux distro I ever installed and used.
Very shortly after my 14th birthday.
Admit it though it was wheezy or pre wheezy, so the age verification checks out
I think it must have been Etch, though I had to look at a versions table to figure that out.
I feel both outraged and pleased. That must be my age too
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.
“Free Walkers for System V users.”
Ouch!
So, me having started with Slackware and a 0.97 kernel should be enough to have earned my retirement.
I wonder if age verification would have been fine if done in a privacy friendly manner…
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.
nya :3
(edit: I thought you meant looking at tiny distros to get away from systemd, as opposed to the big-name ones which pretty much all use systemd. ignore this if not)
We use OpenRC on stock Debian. After some annoying initial setup hurdles it actually works pretty well, and I don’t think it’s gonna break randomly on us.
So that might be an option, too. As long as Debian doesn’t remove the sysvinit scripts because “oh everyone’s using systemd now”…

I may be stupid but at least I am not dumb :3
casually searches for the catgirl distro to completely upend my life for a weekend
I literally put the name of it in the post. it’s nyarch
Bad kitty! We don’t attack people who missed a proper noun within Linux noun & pronoun soup. - sprays screen cleaner on username -
bro knows how to get the catgirls to comment 😏
Mrrrroooow :3
oh i remember this and the
edit: i… made a mistake?
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.
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.
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.
unrealized gains.
Corporations have tax brackets where you come from?
I misread the comment a bit, I thought they meant tax like a person. I wouldn’t put it past the owners to have their agents apply for small business grants or some other exemption.
That would be the worst plan since corporations became legal persons.
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.
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.
Unless you have a minimal docker image, it will have a package manager. And the OS images used in data centers also have a full blown distro more often than not. But I’m pretty sure the definition is going to be tweaked, because the level of chaos it would cause otherwise would be unfathomable.
Allowlists are for the owner class only
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.
being accessible headless is still accessible
But being required to present an interface at account creation is not compatible with large scale orchestration.
a headless interface is still an interface
I installed Debian on a computer when I was 15
And got it running by the time you could vote. So the math would work.
And gentoo was still compiling.
I recently installed gentoo on an ibook G4 (it was the last one they made, so the fastest). It took me a week to get it all compiled and installed and I ended up not setting up GRUB properly. It worked out in the end and taught me a lot about GNU/Linux so all in all it was a win
Aw fuck Gentoo’s murican… time for an alternative i guess.
heard that arch was Canadian (originated from)
If i really can’t use Gentoo i’ll still have Slackware… oh.
Well Devuan’s EU/global and i guess i could try Artix.
And OpenBSD’s canadian.
I did a Debian 2.1 net install over a 56k dial up connection in high school. It was glorious and painful and I never looked back.
9front is the only OS I know that actually has a minimum age recommendation on their web landing page: “Ages: 5 & Up”
9fronts docs are hilarious. I’d consider using it if using plan 9s userspace wasn’t an exercise in torture. Somewhat ought to make a BSD with a plan9ish kernel
Unlike the state mandated garbage, this OS is more realistic with the capabilities and expectations of its users.
First of all, fuck you.
