Google brings Chrome to Linux ARM64 devices 🧩.
Feels ironic. Most people switch to Linux for privacy and freedom — not to install a data‑harvesting browser from the company they’re escaping 🔒.

Linux and BSD distributions are taking varied approaches to new U.S. age verification laws requiring OS‑level age attestation during setup 🧩.
Ubuntu and Fedora are planning privacy‑respecting local APIs, while MidnightBSD and Adenix reject compliance, citing risks to open‑source freedom and user privacy 🔒.

"Software for humans of indeterminate age. We don't know how old you are. We don't want to know. We are legally required to ask. We won't."
"Ageless Linux is a registered operating system under the definitions established by the California Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043, Chapter 675, Statutes of 2025). We are in full, knowing, and intentional noncompliance with the age verification requirements of Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.501(a)."
Linux gamers, on your main gaming machine, what type of distro are you using?

Repost this if you want to respect privacy and have #DigitalFreedom from all oppressive age verification laws like those that target operating systems and app stores. #PrivacyFirst #CyberSecurity #DigitalRights #StopOSSpies #NoAgeSignals #FirstAmendment #FourthAmendment #Linux
I still can't even that my now nearly 80 year old mom has been on Fedora on a thinkpad e520 (2011) for a decade and it all just works.
I checked her laptop just now and it's fully up to date on fedora 43, so she's done like 20 version upgrades autonomously too. The battery has degraded a little but the whole thing still works fine and she's very happy with it.
This is how things should be, this is peak computing tbh.
Motorola just announced a long‑term partnership with GrapheneOS, including a future phone that ships with the privacy OS preinstalled. 🧩
They’ll also bring selected GrapheneOS security features to other Motorola devices over time, boosting hardening and privacy for more users. 🛡️

Post-quantum cryptography is now operational inside the PH4NTXM live OS.
Our latest builds successfully negotiated hybrid post-quantum key exchange across multiple protocols. The system now prioritizes ML-KEM and hybrid lattice-based exchanges for TLS connections and hybrid post-quantum key exchange for SSH, while maintaining secure classical fallbacks for compatibility.
This means PH4NTXM boots as a stateless live environment with post-quantum-capable cryptography already integrated into the network stack. No external configuration required.

Es gibt ein scheinbar auf #SuperTuxKart basierendes (schaut euch alleine die Menüs an) #OpenSource Projekt, welches an einem #Spiel arbeitet, dass konzeptionell den alten #DestructionDerby Titeln ähneln soll.
Ziel im #Multiplayer ist es Gegenspieler kaputt zu rammen ohne selbst zu viel Schaden zu nehmen. Wer zuletzt noch übrig ist, hat gewonnen.
Aktuell und relativ frisch ist Version 0.8.0-Alpha. #Linux und #Windows werden unterstützt. Es gibt #Appimage

Tails can be run in a virtual machine.
A virtual machine allows Tails and the host operating system to be run in parallel without the need to restart the computer when alternating between operating systems.
A virtual machine opens in a window.
Tails is a portable operating system that protects against surveillance and censorship.

This is the fifth in the "Meta-sponsored series" of articles from the Linux Foundation.
I was not aware the Linux Foundation produced advertising copy for big tech, let alone the machine-learning "industry".
If you're just doing a standard desktop workflow then I don't really know how you beat Linux desktop. Fast, snappy, no bloat, no surveillance, no license, and no walled garden.
Just straight Debian with Cinnamon and you're set. The only techy thing you need to master is your package manager. My goto apps:
Vivaldi
Open Office
Audacity
VLC
Flameshot
Signal
Remmina
Google will require government ID from all Android developers by Sept 2026, even for non-Play Store apps like F-Droid. 🧩
Brave, EFF, and Tor say this "developer registry" risks privacy for volunteers and kills Android's openness. 🛡️

Age verification laws are spreading fast: half of U.S. states now have age checks, with California's AB 1043 pushing OS-level "age signals." 🧩
UK, Australia, Brazil, EU, and Linux distros face the same creep toward "ID to use your computer" mandates. 🛡️
