Seit Johnny Eisenberg im NSA-Untersuchungsausschuss als Anwalt des BND auftrat, bin ich kein Fan. Aber wenn alte, mal linke, Berliner Anwälte Männer wie Ulmen angreifen, hat sich vielleicht do…

An alarm in my neighbourhood started around 3:30 am this morning. Not that loud so probably a distance away yet still enough to wake me up to go and investigate. It stopped for a bit then started up again. I was trying not to get frustrated or angry but it still meant I didn't get back to sleep until after 6.
I stayed in bed until nearly 8 am and then rushed about so I'd be finished with work in time for a zoom meeting at 5:30 pm. Made it! Success!
Finally realised at 5:…

Weird feeling as while looking to answer to the question "how do I get the coordinates of the minimal value of a numpy.ndarray ?", found that I already asked that question ten years ago: https://laurentperrinet.github.io/sciblog/p…

I've seen a bunch of "the CA age verification law is the best way to do a bad thing and so we shouldn't oppose compliance" takes, which others are rightly pointing out is a bad stance because it's blindingly obvious that compliance now sets the stage for compliance later and the clearly set up later is mandatory verification of age data. Even if you think that, for example, California's current "progressive" government won't go there, we're all currently seeing just how easy it is for a new government to pick up the oppressive tools the "good" government was using "restraint" with and put them to worse ends.
On the other hand, I'll freely admit that distros *do* need a way to shield themselves from liability right now. The clear (to me; IANAL) correct solution is to say on your website "don't download this OS if you're in a jurisdiction where it's not legal for us to provide it."). Assuming this does put you in the clear liability-wise, it has several positive effects:
- Stops zero people from downloading it.
- Makes it clear that your project will not collaborate with fascists/oppressive regime enjoyers.
- Means that when the next law makes verifying user ages mandatory (and/or explicitly requires using Palantir-adjacent services to do so) you've already got a strategy in place and there's no need for a "debate" in your "community" about compliance.
- Gets users more practice with "the law is malicious/needlessly bureaucratic/oppressive; let's ignore it" which to be honest people in general clearly desperately need at this point.
- Is the most effective political move if you want to resist the way things are going. Forcing the other side to explain why "California bans Linux" is good rhetorical strategy. Make *them* try to explain "well it's actually not so harmful since we let users set it themselves" and answer your follow-up "but what if next year the requirements change; I just refuse to go along with this slippery slope stuff and I'm not bothered if that means you want to *ban* me."
#AgeVerification

Ich gehöre einem Verein an, bei dem es für kleines Geld anwaltlichen Rat von Rechtsanwältïnnen gibt. Dazu bucht man im Voraus ein Beratungsfenster.
Nun ist es gleich zweimal vorgekommen, dass mich die Anwälte mit einer 40-minütigen Verspätung angerufen haben. Beide Male ist man auf die enorme Verspätung mit keinem Wort eingegangen, unabhängig davon, ob ich neutral oder verärgert war. 1/2
