They’re basically minimum-viable products that by design can be used to violate the law in California when the Act goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2027.

I have serious doubts about any voters, anywhere in the world, repealing any laws like this:

  • Most people like laws that let them avoid responsibility
  • Most people are, or have been, parents at some point
  • Most parents will offload the responsibility onto "the government" instead of admitting to poor parenting

This kind of act of insubordination, the way it is framed, I'm afraid is likely to meet the opposition of most people.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
