    reread my comment. the “same way the husband will obey the wife?” is sarcasm and the literal next sentence says relationships are built on mutual respect and trust and the question approaches it with neither. i wasnt saying obey literally i was pointing out the question is framed poorly.

    so your whole reply is you explaining obey doesnt mean respect to someone whose comment is literally built on that exact distinction. you corrected a point i wasnt making and then asked if i speak english. cool linguistics degree

    I felt, by the 500th cock and balls joke, that it was written incredibly poorly. I pulled up a scene from S1 on youtube and the difference in pacing and styling is drastic.

    Is anyone holding their breath? It seems like Xbox has been on the way out, I'm surprised they are even releasing a new product under the name.

    The entire law’s mechanism assumes a closed ecosystem. The signal flow is: OS provider builds age API, app store queries it, developer requests signal from app store at download and launch.

    That pipeline requires the distribution platform to be integrated with the OS-level age verification system. GitHub has no concept of this. There’s no account linkage between a GitHub download and the person running the binary. You don’t authenticate with GitHub to download a release asset. There’s no “launch” event that GitHub is aware of. The entire signal infrastructure the law depends on simply doesn’t exist outside the walled garden model.

    I actually read through the full text of AB 1043 because I make Mac apps and had the same reaction. It’s a lot narrower than people are making it sound.

    The law doesn’t bake age verification into the OS the way people think. It requires Apple/Google to build an API that app stores use to pass an age bracket signal to developers. It’s scoped to “covered application stores” so if you distribute outside the App Store (direct download, GitHub, Homebrew, whatever) it doesn’t apply to you at all.

    It also doesn’t block downloading apps or websites. There’s no filtering or gating, it’s just a data signal developers can request about whether a user is in a certain age bracket. It's literally just requiring the Steam "age verification" for everything.

    The world is beautiful and we only have one fucking ecosystem, yet our species seems to be disconnected entirely from which it emerged.

    What's the consensus on this?
