How would they be able to sue systemd? Genuine question. As i understand it, it is a local law. How could they force open source projects to comply? If I am located in Europe, for example, how would they even try to sue me by “breaking” the law of an american state? And how would they stop people frlm still using the “illegal” software?
then if it could be left blank or not a verifiable date… it would not comply with the law making its existence…. worthless. unless it is to make it mandatory in the future
The law said the OS must have a method to enter an age at account creation and an API for applications to query it. The systemd PR satisfies that, so the SPI and anyone representing a distro that uses systemd is off the hook legally.
so the second step in enshitification then. seems to me nipping it in the bud seems the better play. best to just slap a “not in california” sticker on it and provide it the same as always.
at this point i dont treat peoples invocation of the slippery slope fallacy as coherent or honest based on historical evidence

They’d sue the SPI.
