Ageless Linux — Software for Humans of Indeterminate Age

Ysk about ageless linux to protest the age attestation that has passed in California. Ysk because the laws are unjust and discriminate against volunteer apps/OSs such as Linux distros.

    And my major takeaway, beside the point they’re trying to make, is that the California law has taken the asinine step of redefining the word “user”.

    They don’t, they’re just providing a definition of the term for that specific bit of law.

    As an example, this bill, it defines a relative to be “an adult who is related to the child by blood”, doesn’t mean that suddenly people under 18 are no longer considered relatives, just that for this one specific part it doesn’t apply to them.

      As I said in another comment (maybe I should have edited the original):

      I don’t think that’s a good enough excuse to blatantly redefine a well-established term, even if the scope of the redefinition is limited. Even if there’s precedent for having done similarly in the past. (Emphasis original)

      And it’s all but guaranteed that someone will attempt to leverage that redefinition outside of the scope.
