    This younger generation will definitely find a way to communicate online - WAY smarter than the politicians 😉.

        @cwebber information is widely available in society.. kids simply don't care. they are more interested in Bad Bunny's superbowl performance than they are about higher issues. This is nothing new. Young people's trivial minds. It's a form of self-disempowerment. A phase everyone must pass through on the way to mature adulthood. That having been said, this proposed law is ludicrous.

        @FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber your posts come off as very ageist and judgemental. I'm pleasantly surprised at how the younger generation understands technology, social media and AI in a way that older generations do not. Perhaps there's a larger portion of the younger generations that are not within your view.

          @cwebber I dont observe anyone dropping corporate social media en masse or cutting ties with the megacorps that actively disempower them and have for decades

          @FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber I don't observe that either, *regardless of age or generation*. I don't know why you expect that specifically of mine (and the other "younger generations", hopefully excluding gen beta) while we're mostly watching our parents believe every bot post on Facebook

            @cwebber @FelisCatusDomesticus The youth never had an internet that wasn't corporate oligarch-owned extremist scam garbage. So I totally get it if they don't care. A lot of us olds are nostalgic for an Internet that hasn't existed for a long time.

              @KarlHeinzHasliP @FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber Not just that - computer design today emphasizes hiding how things work. Which gets annoying real fast but also doesn't lend itself to encouraging people to look deeper.

                @KarlHeinzHasliP @FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber this, I'm really tired of older generations complaining about how stupid mine is for not learning the things they refused to teach us. I don't usually quote Blink 182 but I think they summed it up pretty well with "if we're fucked up, you're to blame". Raise your damn kids, teach other people's kids as much as you can get away with, and you might find that we had that potential all along but we were fucking neglected by the generations before ours

                    @cwebber Reading through the bill has been interesting
                    If it passes, it seems that pretty much anyone behind a Linux distro will be bankrupted if they dare to enter Colorado

                      @cwebber how would this even be possible for freedom-respecting operating systems? would it just make every GNU/Linux distro illegal unless its package manager implemented a pointless and trivial-to-bypass age check based on putting birth date in gecos (or something like that)?
