California Ban Leaves Open Questions Despite Supposed "Industry Consensus"

"For Linux users and distributions, the bill’s most important part remains unchanged. Its definition of an 'operating system provider' explicitly excludes an entity that distributes an operating system or application under license terms allowing recipients to copy, redistribute, and modify the software."

Not all parts of the Linux kernel are "open source", and some have restrictive licensing or are 'closed'.

If the state enforces the law strictly no mainstream consumer distribution is truly in compliance.

The law doesn't say "primarily open source" or primarily under FOSS terms. And there isn't a single license. You'll find the numerous different licenses under which different components of the "operating system" ship in /usr/share/doc/.

But it's worthy of pointing out that even something like ath9k-htc which supports USB wifi adapters consists of firmware released under three separate licenses. All three in this case are "FOSS", but that's unusual, not the norm.

It's also questionable what constitutes an operating system. Is it just the kernel? Is it the kernel plus the core applications like GNU? Is it the kernel, the graphics stack, printing stack, audio stack, GNU utilities, X server, and package manager?

SteamOS is based on Arch yet it's unclear if SeamOS is included or excluded.

How about Android? Android is a set of software, but most of the apps merely run on top of what is actually an "open source" operating system that is itself a fork of the Linux kernel.

Is Mac OS X exempt because the VERY core of the kernel is released even if nothing else?

@phnt @RustyCrab @7666 Also cloudflare is bad to the woke crowd because they hosted the IMMINENT THREAT TO HUMAN LIFE site for a few years and now they have AI stuff. Their problems with cloudflare aren't the cartel mindset or how they cut sites off, but rather that the sites that they cut off were allowed to be there in the first place.

There's a good moral to this story (that once you've done X you're tainted forever to the point theocracies aren't even this bad), but back to TCRF. Their anti-DDoS is linode taking the site down on their (allegedly) shared host and "waiting" for it to blow over. Xkeeper on the other hand is still living in the mid-2010s and mentally comes off like that Harry Dresden Ring guy.

It was never about the company. It was about the state claiming the power to catalog a city’s entire population by location — a permanent record of movement created without notice, consent, or restraint.

I told you to focus on Israel's surveillance and not on all the asinine antisemitism from the "anti-Zionists"

"f you thought Flock cameras were bad, wait until you see what is replacing them.
There is a new surveillance camera that screws into existing street light sockets. No new poles. No solar panels. No black pillars to spray paint, block, saw or tear down.
A utility worker installs one in 15 minutes and it is invisible. It reads plates at 155 miles per hour from 328 feet away. It streams live video around the clock. And it feeds everything into a police command center that also can pull footage from third party security cameras. All on one screen. In real time.
The company is called Axon. They already make the body cameras, the Tasers, and the cloud server where most police departments store their footage.
While every activist in America was focused on tearing down Flock cameras, Axon was quietly installing the ones you cannot see.
It is already happening. One city canceled its Flock contract after finding 1,400 immigration searches on its own citizens. The council called Flock a "bad actor." By the following month, that same city had signed a contract with Axon. Nobody protested. Because nobody knew the name had changed.
This is repeating across the country. The same councils that voted to remove Flock are signing Axon contracts because no one is paying attention to what replaced it.
But here is the part that may keep you up at night.
Axon just paid $625 million for the company that runs your city's 911 system. That company was founded by Israeli special forces and intelligence operatives. An early investor was a former commander of Unit 8200, Israel's equivalent of the NSA. And the money behind it traces back to a fund that included Jeffrey Epstein. I know it sounds like some crazy conspiracy theory - right?
The development center is still in Tel Aviv.
Look up what your city signed after it canceled Flock. Then come back here and tell us what you found. I want to build a list.
Does your city have Axon, Fusus, or a "Real-Time Crime Center"? If they do, drop the city name below.
If you know someone on a city council, send them this post before they vote on the next "public safety modernization" they have not read yet."

Great headline today:

"As Backlash Grows, More Americans Now Oppose Automated Police License Plate Readers Than Support"

"A new survey on police license plate cameras found that 'more Americans oppose these surveillance cameras than support them,'"

It's sad that people still don't understand the dangers of a surveillance state and the threat to freedom AND democracy it posses.

It's not just the cameras, but license plates, drivers licenses, and social security numbers.

The issue isn't credit, loans, or similar. These things can exist without any of these things. Credit existed BEFORE the social security number.

Drivers licenses didn't exist until automobiles and never really had to do with safety. It was bigotry against automobile owners at a time when they were seen as more of a nuisance as most people didn't own an automobile yet. Even after drivers licenses became a thing there weren't written tests or road tests even as recent as the late 1960s in some states.

A social security system can exist independent of it being obligatory or forced at scale.

"REAL ID" was never for genuine security. It was a reaction to 9/11 and yet every one of the 9/11 hijackers would still be allowed to board a plane today. They had drivers licenses and "REAL ID" doesn't prevent a passenger from using a passport or other device so you can't even say it's going to prevent foreigners or similar from hijacking a plane.

License plates aren't a "safety issue" either. Fake plates exist and even if they didn't or license plates weren't required cops can still pull over and arrest drivers.

Drivers licenses are also tools of tyrants. Dangerous driving and most serious accidents are a consequence of bad choices, not incapable drivers.

Option 5 "Responsible Use of Generative AI"

Which to me reads as "Do not promote it, do not ban it either. Use cautiously where it can help."
