California fuckwit OS age verification means I’m going offline soon. How do I get an archive of all of GNU, Python libraries, and C with all documentation? What about all of fedora dnf, and arch’s aur? I need all documentation and source.

    California fuckwit OS age verification means I’m going offline soon.

    Go read the actual bill. It has issues, but it’s not an ID requirement. It’s an “are you over 18?” type of check (with several brackets) at the OS level.

      Yeah, could it not be just setting /var/age or /home/user/.config/age to ‘20’ or ‘D’, and just have a function to pass that value to a web browser to bypass every age gate prompt?

        That’s more or less how I read it, yeah. Pretty sure the authors were thinking in terms of GUIs having a field to enter that info when you make a user account on a system but I think something like that would meet the intent for programs to access the user’s declared age.
