This is SOPA in a save the kids trench coat.

If they can ban hardware they don’t like, they can ban software they don’t like too, they could just make Linux illegal to operate.

They’re bought and paid for by basically all the big industries just like the GOP.

Artix straight-up refused, and I presume antiX’s general stance is against age-gating as they proudly state their anti-fascist stance in their tagline, and as far as I’m aware Devuan is against age-gating as well. I also can assume Parabola and Hyperbola are against this as well.

And then of course Ageless is protestware.

Adenix also refused.

Assuming it isn’t pushed through anyways behind closed doors.

Not gonna matter, especially if Linux, BSD, and other alternatives are criminalized by this.

I’d ideally not drive at all if I were in their position and deciding what to do, but since North America is crippled by decades, nearly a century of car dependency…

That’s Meta’s whole intention with these.

France:

We’re moving to Linux and kicking Windows to the curb!

Also France:

Only we get to decide what you see on the internet in our borders, not you!

Of course Google censors any speech they don’t like. If you’re not making money on YT and just creating for the fun of it, it’s time to move to an alternative before you get nuked too.

RATM - Killing in the Name, and this one is particularly prescient right now with ICE roaming the streets given it was originally written to protest police brutality in response to the Rodney King riots.

RATM - Wake Up is also a good one as well.

Well, this shows where Adolf’s allegiances lie.

How soon before alt social media is targeted like this?

Pick-ups didn’t used to be huge though, see the S10/S15 for instance, a modern-day Colorado/Canyon dwarfs an S10/S15 from the final year they were sold in the US.

Adding a few extra hoops to jump through could be similar to abolishing pickups while still allowing reasonable exceptions, maybe requiring extra drivers training

• At the same time though, if someone needed to pull large trailers for whatever reason, but didn’t need a full-on class-7 or class-8 rig and the CDL requirements that go with that, they could just use a class-5 or class-6 chassis-cab rig for that purpose and then use a van for various field work or picking up small amounts of cargo. That van for field work would even be preferable both because of having the ability to lock one’s tools up and also having a sheltered workspace to do things in so they don’t have to get rained on and the like, and can work under A/C or heat during a particularly hot or cold day.

Great! Now can we have this in the US too, please? Like, semis and other class-8 commercial trucks at least have a valid excuse to be massive (and even then, Europe manages to make their semis smaller than in the US while still having equivalent GVWRs by way of cabovers still being common over there, while cabovers are all but extinct in the US outside of trash trucks and fire trucks, basically); they’re typically carrying payloads as heavy as 100k+ lbs in some cases, and need specialized licensing to operate on top of that (CDL requirements kick in at class-7, or GVWRs above 26k lbs in the US, class-8 is 33k+ lbs, and semis are typically 80k lb GVWRs), but pick-ups really don’t need to be as big as they are, they have no excuse.

Better, like when I was really young, I used to have major problems with getting goopy stuff on my skin, think paint and glue and the like which would normally be really fun for a super young kid to get into, like, fingerpainting and paper mache are a typically a young kid’s favorite art projects for a reason, that being basically getting to play in goop, but getting that stuff on my skin was my big sensory issue growing up, although I learned to successfully manage that in high school and it hasn’t been a problem for me since then.

Last time I thought, stuff like that was super common among the autistic crowd too, that or hypersensitivity to cold or hot stuff or whatever.

I’m personally running Artix with runit and things are fine so far, but as ChrisG pointed out, dinit is basically a drop-in replacement for systemd syntax-wise.

Although if you’re on Artix, you’ll need to enable Arch’s [extra] and [multilib] repos or you’ll run into dependency issues on some apps due to some packages not being available in the main Artix repos. I learned this when trying to install steam-native-runtime, there were some Python deps which weren’t available in the main Artix repos, but that were available in the Arch repos, if I’m remembering right.

Also, I recommend enabling the unofficial [liquorix] repo in order to get a newer kernel with more frequent updates than what Artix provides in their repos, eg. the default and zen kernels in the Artix repos lag a bit behind the lqx kernel from the [liquorix] repo, and I still recommend enabling [chaotic-aur] as a convenience repo on any Arch distro.

I also switched to MATE from KDE out of concern that KDE could end up following GNOME’s path after SDDM is deprecated, plus I just wanted a lighter and different desktop, that and MATE’s default two-panel layout is completely usable from stock although you might wanna set the panels to auto-hide to maximize screen space.

I was the class doodlebug in high school and mostly just kept to myself and drew a lot after getting done with classwork, which probably helps as to why I generally had a pretty good time…
