  • How do you mean about India? Please pardon my ignorance.

  • Great analysis. But I've never heard of an OS that comes pre-loaded with porn, or with any media content other than the wallpapers and a few stock samples. Though I suppose there's nothing stopping anyone from creating Bukkake Linux and shipping it.

  • You're right to give that warning, but Brazil isn't a surveillance state like China or the USA. Our demons are different.

    Of course, that could change in the future so a law like this shouldn't stand regardless.

  • Not the Brazilian government, is what I'm saying. At most they'll tell ISPs to block a few websites, and they won't comply without a judicial order. Our Supreme Court, STF, is actually sane unlike our legislators, so no such order will be given.

  • Speaking as a brazilian resident, the law will not be enforced. No such laws are ever enforced here. Everybody openly pirates everything, people sell retro gaming systems preloaded with thousands of ROMs openly online and in physical shops, and the government doesn't even have 1% of the surveillance infrastructure needed to make enforcement attractive. The law is just electoral posturing and lip service to please evangelical idiots... but I repeat myself.

  • Pra manter a farça. Que caso horrível!

  • Puta que pariu.

  • Normal people don't care which OS others use.

  • Have a nice day.

  • When you acted exasperated at having to explain something, for example. Or now, asking for proof that you were mad. These things are not done in normal, polite conversation.

  • So you literally got mad at a made-up scenario in your head?

  • And why would this particular law exempt Azure Linux only and specifically?

  • I meant that the law is easily bypassed, for example by not implementing what you described. Good point nonetheless.

  • What does that have to do with anything?

  • It answers the title, says why now, and refers to the POTUS and his "tendency" to act on personal rather than national interest. I don't think it was that unhelpful, though of course it's a simplification.

  • I'm not saying I'm smarter than you but to me it looks like "Hey yeah we require age verification. So, anyway..."

    A token easily bypassed "verification" law to set and forget. It's basically the same level of security corrently keeping teenage boys off of PornHub.

  • Microsoft's own servers run Linux. An in-house build IIRC named Azure Linux.

  • Your average legislator hears the word "Docker" and imagines a ship unloading cargo. Of course computers on ships need age verification! Voters will appreciate a crackdown on nautical child labor.
