    Gavin Newsom should drop out of politics and stick to shitposting about trump. He’s much better at that.

    Good luck trying to strongarm foss. Forks and backups included. Also making all linux servers illegal. This will totally not be circumvented. Get lost with your law. Let the parents do the parenting instead of overreaching on mass surveillance and trying to end any form of online anonymity.

      It doesn’t matter if you’re, say, Debian, because they’ll just put up some symbolic “not intended for use in state X” and then continue doing whatever they were doing, but if you’re Red Hat and actually selling something like Red Hat Enterprise Linux to companies in the state, stuff like this is actually a pain in the ass.

      And to reiterate a previous comment, the Democrats have a trifecta in both California and Colorado, and the legislation here is something that they are squarely to blame for. I’d really rather that they knock this kind of horseshit off so that I can go back to being upset with the Republican Party.

      They don’t care. They want your face, retina, fingerprints, DNA. All for their LLMs and so they can sell you something else.

      Also to blackmail you later if they think they can or just feel like it… because they will put all that shit on an insecure server and some 13 year old hacker in Turkmenistan will leak it and make a killing (literally and figuratively) with it.

    This will immediately get struck down in court even if it passes, though everyone should make their voices heard in saying this is complete nonsense.

    Yet another case of antiquated politicians not understanding technology whatsoever.
