And I really hate the one I love having strokes and heart attacks.
But also encourage them to do a sleep study.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•It's 2026, which tech did you realistically think we would have by now?
8·4 months agoSelf driving cars. Ten years ago I said, “we’ll have this worked out in 10 years”. What a fool I was.
First you have to define what is Linux (does ChromeOS count? How about Android? Alpine? What makes something “Linux”), and what is a desktop (do laptops count? How about portable handhelds/phones with a desktop mode?).
But Android is a Linux… Not GNU/Linux, but neither is Alpine.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Apple rolls out OS-level age verification in latest iOS 26.4 dev beta
8·4 months agoI see you too were born on January 1st 1970.
One time as I was driving, a song started on the radio and I started crying but I didn’t know why. Then I realized it was “The Planets”, and I was thinking of Sleepytime.

11·5 months agoNot just Linux, but embedded OS’s too. Also, the age verification requirement is a “reasonable attempt”, so maybe a prosecutor decides full face scan checks are the minimum “reasonable effort”. Will it hold up? Who knows, but can you afford to litigate it?
Note, there are not exceptions for headless installs, or OS’s without an account.

8·5 months agoBut embedded computing devices these days are regularly general computing devices, and have been for a long time. If my insert appliance x with an ARM processor isn’t a general computing device, then why is my raspberry pi?

4·5 months agoBut also, every FreeDos install ,server, managed network switch, IoT device, gas pump, etc. now needs to verify user age.
Also, it has to make “reasonable” effort to verify the age. Maybe just asking your age isn’t considered reasonable by the state. Since the law doesn’t lay out what to do, anything you do might become unreasonable depending on the winds of the day.

17·5 months agoIt goes way beyond Linux. Think any device that could download something at some point. Gas station pump, calculator, FreeDos, VxWorks, etc.
There is a lot of language like “or can download an application”, so if you can download something, then that thing could be an application, and thus that device and it’s OS is covered.
