โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ NEW - Colorado's Senate Bill 26-051 would require operating systems like Windows or Linux to include age verification during initial device setup. Introduced by Sen. Matt Ball and Rep. Amy Paschal, the bill mandates that OS providers prompt users or parents to enter a birth date or age during account creation. The bill remains pending, with a committee hearing scheduled for February 24, 2026. If passed, the requirements would apply to new device setups starting January 1, 2028.

Well, time to make my own private fork of Debian. This is in no way constitutional. Not that it matters. Mother fuckers.
Great, instead of having 50,000 Linux distros, they're all going to fork again to have a non-kyc version and now we'll have100,000 linux distros! :(

Fuck off. If you're a Linux user then you've already opted out for privacy invading and tracking shit. I hope here will be a major backlash, but throwing money usually hets them what they want.
