The government of California is implementing a law that requires operating system providers to implement some form of age verification into their account setup procedures.
Assembly Bill No. 1043 was approved by California governor Gavin Newsom in October of last year, and becomes active on January 1, 2027 (via The Lunduke Journal).
The bill states, among other factors, that "An operating system provider shall do all of the following:"
"(1) Provide an accessib…

A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup
It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

And indeed it was a very pleasant experience to walk into the fog and breaking through it to see some blue sky.

This black-and-white image captures a serene and somewhat mysterious winter scene. A light layer of snow covers a hilly path, with tire or foot tracks leading up the slope, creating a sense of movement and direction. The path is flanked by leafless trees and evergreens, their branches dusted with snow. The fog is thick, enveloping the landscape and creating a soft, muted atmosphere.

For the past week or so I’ve been following @… posts about the events at this years “Ashes” cricket series.
I am enjoying being quite mystified by the terminology. I know very little about the game beyond it being a distant relative of baseball with a much harder ball and wickets with little baubles on top instead of a strike zone judged by an umpire. I have concluded that …

The attorney for instructor Mel…

Popular media shows Santa's sleigh as red no matter which way it's flying, or even when it's standing still.
It's not. When it's parked, it's green. But most observers only see it flying away after making a delivery, hence the red shift.
And if you're lucky to see it inbound it's blue with a hint of UV-A. Wear sunglasses.
