aside from completely reasonable observations, one question is up in the air... will RTOSes fall under the law
because if yes, then I swear I was just joking about age verification in FreeRTOS about a month ago ;_;

MZLA Technologies, the subsidiary behind Thunderbird, launched an #OpenSource #AI client for organizations seeking to run AI on their own infrastructure. MZLA Technologies, a Mozilla Foundation subsidiary, announced Thunderbolt on Wednesday, a self-hostable AI client targeting enterprise users.

Is there any EV charger that has a local API ?
(OpenEVSE seems to only be available in UK format in kit form - and I don't think I could get an electrician to wire it in)
Warning for #NixOS users out there:
The new systemd intird was submitted to NixOS unstable and is now the default as of a few days ago. I discovered the hard way that if you have the https://github.com/FlameFlag/nixcord flake in your configuration after updating your flakes and rebuild, you'll be unable to properly boot.
After spending time with the people working on NixOS's systemd, we discovered that there's an activation script that nixcord uses that causes the problem.
So the only solutions are to disable the systemd initrd (which will be the default in unstable and the next release of NixOS), or disable Nixcord.
Everyone should be reading this.

cwebber@social.coop - Well this is truly bad. US national level OS-level age verification bill. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/8250/all-info
The text of it isn't out yet.
EDIT: Well the text is now out and it's as bad as you could imagine. It's not even just that you need to verify your age to access a website... operating systems must verify your age to let you *use a computer at all*
EDIT EDIT: Thanks to @Andres4NY for pointing out that it also holds responsible anyone who has any software shipped on the operating system of a computer, meaning FOSS developers eveywhere
