Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • I'd like you to realize that "the USA who is the least likely country to implement these laws" is literally the opposite of current reality.

    They are making some of the greatest efforts to make legally mandated user and age tracking a thing, as well as legally mandated user identity based content-gating.

  • ...

    So this is not a concern to you?

    The fact that there are people in leadership positions that want this, and have reasons why they want this, is below note. And not worth opposing?

    This will lead to infrastructure, that should not exist, existing.

    That it can be avoided is not a solution. It should not be built in the first place.

  • Is your argument really "this won't affect linux, so it doesn't matter" ? At the very least, FOSS development by anyone in California will be a problem, as the law quite literally names "persons" as potentially liable.

    The reality remains, the US is the most thirsty for this kind of thing. Not the least.

    And they are already working on an even more overreaching version that will close loopholes in the current legalese.

  • Windows, and any other OS will be illegal in California unless it implements this.

    Apple, for one, is headquartered in California.

    So, the OS wont work until the user verifies their age somehow.

    Moreover, even if an OS somehow could know the users age - that doesn't automatically mean all other software that exists automatically reads it and responds to it as necessary. Does the law compel anyone making software to recognise this?

    Did you not read my comment? Anyone writing software for an OS that implements this, can be sued (in California) if their application ignores the API signals from the OS and allows access to age-restricted content.

  • You may want to look into what the legal requirements actually are, and how it changes who is liable. It is outright draconian.

    Essentially, it requires the OS to find out the age of the user, and then inform ALL software that is run by API. Any software that theoretically could use the data, and still allows a child to see something they should not have, will be liable.

    You claimed that the US was the least likely to do this sort of thing...

    Instead, despite the incompetence, they are clearly spearheading this globally along with the UK. Making it most decidedly the first place that will have to deal with this crap.

    Not the last.

  • Rochester city councilor calls for removal of bike lanes

    Jump

  • There is a lot of traffic, and people are not paying attention. It would be better if we could find a way to eliminate them. Both my wife and I have almost been hit because of this.

    Edit: "oh man these cars sure are dangerous and keep almost hitting me, this bike lane just has to go!"

    He's complaining about stopping at the side of a road that already has a speeding problem.

    How the fuck does removing the bike lanes improve this situation?

    If your stroad is too dangerous for people to be around.... Then reduce the fucking speed limit.

    There are a litany of practices around improving street safety, which usually involve actually making streets narrower, adding speed bumps and sometimes even removing entire lanes. People drive slower down single file streets, and aren't as comfortable speeding without the illusionary "safety margin" of extra lanes.

    As a bonus, this frees up more space for pedestrians, cyclists and physical dividers, which then pick up and often surpass the lost transport capacity.

    Instead this clown wants to widen a road that drivers are already too comfortable speeding on. He himself complains that they zone out and don't pay attention. But that's just an unsolvable problem we have to work around I guess.

    The article goes on to explain that the speed limit is unclear. And this man wants to make it even easier to NOT slow down?!

    For some people that's close enough. For some of us it's not.

    Prove otherwise. I dare you. I'm done putting in effort explaining the obvius to you. Your turn.

    Was really hoping my PC would do for playing future Horizon (not Hunters Gathering) and GoW games.

    Didn't need a PS5, but I guess Sony doesn't want my money anymore.

    Too bad.
