OS vendors have been mandated to request use age brackets since late 2025, but Linux systems could be exempt if this amendment bill is enforced.

Lawmakers don't even know or care what Linux is. They don't know what a router is or that it runs an operating system. The bill doesn't affect routers because they don't have physical users with HIDs plugged into them. They're not targeting them. Captive portals have been around for decades. What on Earth are you talking about?

    The corps are having fun by making barriers limiting plebs wifi access. The Tullys page 0 of 3 html is an example of age verification presented by a captive portal.

    So now your lying eyes have seen it for themselves. So you have to admit what i said is the truth and age verification is affecting people accessing wifi thru captive portal.

    What on Earth are you talking about?

    Because of the topic, it's forgivable to mistake this thread for a political comment section.

    At least towards this community members, recommend refraining from gaslighting. Everyone here is neither stupid nor crazy and very likely exceptionally accomplished.
