@cwebber@social.coop @demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place I keep getting this idea that all we need is a UEFI Boolean about whether the device is operated by a minor, and to require ID checks to prevent devices being sold to minors. Then parents can just pw protect the BIOS old school style, and if young Billy builds his own Linux kernel patching the device tree to always show adult the they win the porn prize. I suppose we’d need a solve for defaults reset, too, but doable.

@gorlak@mastodon.gamedev.place @cwebber@social.coop that sounds real draconian. Like instrumenting 3d printers to say what is or is not ok to print. In the best of times, it's questionable to give authority of your machine over to officials, and these are not the best of times. This sounds like TCPA and palladium coming back around ):

@gorlak@mastodon.gamedev.place @cwebber@social.coop @demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place what is considered "porn" here? And who decides? Moms for liberty? What's the appeal process like for wrongful classification?
