I hope they provide a non magastan version because those rules don't apply to me in my country
The problem is, its not just the US by any stretch. And targeting volunteer devs etc is more likely to backfire. They are as much victims as the rest us. Just trying to keep these failing states from targeting them.
they will anyways. first person that gets found lying or disables it, they target the distro.
the law was written to make compliance the metric for dissidence. all "users" are minors. identities flagged as not a minor is a lie, as users cannot be minors only "account holders".
it's not written to support the Linux ecosystem. it's specifically worded to exclude and target the Linux ecosystem if it tries to comply without using meta/google/Microsoft to handle accounts.
