Linux May Have Just ESCAPED California's Age Verification Law! (Windows Didn't)

California just passed a law that puts an age verification check right inside your operating system- and Linux may have just escaped it. In this video, we break down California’s new age assurance law (the Digital Age Assurance Act and the AB 1856 amendment), what it actually means for Windows, macOS, and Linux users, and why open source operating systems like Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, and Pop!_OS may be completely exempt while Microsoft and Apple are stuck building OS-level age checks.

We cover how California’s OS-level age verification actually works (spoiler: it’s a self-declared age bracket, not an ID upload), why Linux’s forkable, open source nature broke the law’s core assumption, and the licensing test that decides which operating systems are exempt. We also look at how System76- the Denver-based Linux company behind Pop!_OS- helped get this law rewritten, first in Colorado and then in California.

And no, the fight isn’t over. The bill is still sitting unsigned on Governor Newsom’s desk, app stores like Flathub and the Snap Store may not be protected, and states like Illinois, Texas, Utah, and Louisiana are writing their own completely different age verification laws.

If you care about Linux, open source software, online privacy, digital rights, or the future of operating systems, this one matters.

Beyond SLAM - OpenCV Live! 224

The goal behind this session is to explain to developers how Visual SLAM maps differ from VPS maps, and how to approach challenges such as short-term and long-term relocalization. We will also explore the differences between machine-readable and human-readable maps, and why both need to coexist to support orchestration and coordination tasks occurring within the same physical space.

OpenCV is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit in the United States. See how you can support open source CV & AI: http://opencv.org/support/

Linux Isn’t Windows—and That’s the Point

Linux does not need to imitate Windows to be useful. Michael Tunnell, Bill, Neal, and Noel explain why switching with an open mind matters, why Windows is not inherently “easy,” and how Linux offers its own workflows, tools, and freedoms worth learning.
