Then add a 25% or more sales tax to all packages that are not recycled per what this law is trying to do. The current US Supreme Court has said many times State Taxes cannot be regulated by the Federal Gov.

This is when some high-level people at Microsoft should go directly to jail, do not pass go. If this does not happen, it proves once again the only reason to run for political office (both dem/gop) is to get in line for bribes^H^H^H^H^H^HCampaign Contributions.

Right after I posted I heard a big wooosh, but /. would not let me re-post and told me to wait. Here I am :)

Last I heard SAP was based in Germany.

I cannot mod you up even though I have points, this new /. WEB site really sucks. So I posted, I guess Apple Fanboys are out in force.

This highlights yet another reason to avoid proprietary Operating Systems. People bought these probably overpriced items and encrypted them for a reason, now Apple is saying "TFB, you cannot use the hardware the way you want.". What is next, dropping support for that hardware ?

Yet another reason people should move to Linux or a *BSD.

After reading this line at the start of the article, I stopped reading. For people with their heads in the sand, Linux did not exist in 1989, inconceivable.

What I want to know is why the Linux Foundation is keeping quite about these Age Verification Laws. Don't they support the users anymore ?

Without these users in the 90s and early 2000, there would be no LF paying high salaries so people can create documents using Microsoft Word on Windows.

The countdown begins. I wonder when Hyundai will move Boston Dynamics to a state like Texas or off-shore. But maybe since it is involved with US defense maybe off-shoring will not happen.

Or it will not happen until the Defense portion of the business is spun off to a whole owned subsidiary based in DC.

I wonder if OpenSSH will be acceptable. Or does this certification only apply to commercial products ? AFAIK OpenSSH would be acceptable.

This will work fine until 2039, which is 12 years away. I think it is better to go to NetBSD, they make a point of supporting old systems.

Plus NetBSD 32 bit is fully 2038 compliant and has been for many years.

Not mine, in Slackware 15.0 algif_aead is a module and not loaded by default.

Now that is a moot point since Slackware released a new kernel to address this issue. Plus algif_aead is still a module in that kernel.

https://www.linuxquestions.org...

Actually it was set as a module, but PV said all the setuid binaries, by default, could not be read by users. That suppose to mean should someone load that module, the issue would not occur.

Thanks, I checked Slackware 15.0 and it is fine.

algif_aead is not loaded by default and is not mentioned in /usr/src/linux-5.15.193/.config

That tells me that at least by default Slackware is OK.

I cannot mod you up even with mod-points and all firefox plugins disabled, but what you say is 100% true

Recent changes made to this website makes it almost impossible to use, this could very well be the last time I login. If these changes are reverted to what we had 10 years ago, then maybe I will come back :(

FWIW, my main system is Slackware. OpenBSD is used on an old "travel" laptop and I use OpenBSD to test programs I write on Linux.

I got caught by this same issue 15 to 20 years ago when Nvidia said they no longer support the card I had. That card did not work with Nouveau so I had by spend to buy another card. So, I use OpenBSD as a guide on what card I use with Linux so I would not get burned again.
