Then what? What stops the kids downloading and running whatever software they like?
How can this replace "child control" software? The system web browser may well report the age field (or age bracket) to websites without letting the user modify it, but what stops them downloading a browser that does let them modify it? Or modifying the source code and compiling a version to lie about their age?
Yeah this would have a pretty different reaction if it was the US social security number that was required by these laws. OK it's not verified yet and you're not required to enter it, but what motivation is there for mandating a field for a personal ID number?
I can't stand it any longer. It's the slop!
We still have the Scunthorpe problem in 2026?
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
It's an optical delay-line memory. Early computer memories were acoustic in some manner.
I can't imagine that the latency of 'delay line RAM' would be acceptable to anyone today. Maybe there's some clever multiplexing that could improve that but it would surely add more complexity that just making more RAM ICs.
Use Nix. And keep your system config in git.

I'm upset that a meme I tried to remake with Unicode box drawing characters lines up terribly in apps: https://lemmy.ca/post/28490027 Shouldn't code blocks render in monospace?
On Lemmy's web frontend it's perfect:
On Connect it looks like this:
On Jerboa it's basically the same:
Eternity does use monospace but the box drawing characters seem to be too wide.
All I can find about it here is one post from a year ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/1492857

Sorry for the crap photos - I just wanted to share these extra keys I added to my Lily58.
I noticed there was a gap in the matrix so I tacked a spare hot-swap socket to the pads on the back of the PCB. That worked with minimal modification to my QMK set-up. I couldn't really use it dangling off some wires so I set out to make an extension that would slot in and be retained by one of the standoffs. I don't have a laser cutter or 3D printer so I just hacked these out of a sheet of ABS plastic following a printed template and glued them up. They're nice and solid and line up really well, despite being rather rough around some of the edges.
I'm finding the 1.5U keys a bit confusing at the moment, swapping them out for 1U keys makes it a bit easier to home my thumbs. These are certainly much easier to access than the outermost keys on the lower row or the keys below the display. I'm thinking they need to be called Lily Pads.
