Great if it works, but I seriously doubt it’s going to work.

Assuming those alternatives also aren’t either sued into oblivion or just outright blocked at the ISP level.

Goodbye decentralized and open platforms, and goodbye open-source software and hardware.

Repealing Section 230 will end the very existence of ActivityPub/the Fediverse, ATproto/Bsky, and even software like Linux because it goes against Big Tech’s wishes for world domination.

I hope everyone likes being roped into Big Tech’s silos before getting eventually disappeared.

And given they’re trying to kill Section 230 and censor the web in general, it’s only a matter of time before this applies to citizens as a condition of living here.

I don’t have a Tiktok and never will have a Tiktok; if I ever want to make Tiktok-like content, I’d rather use Loops to do that.

Also, what’s stopping this ‘five years of social media posts’ requirement from extending to include citizens too?

This would be a perfect sysadmin career pipeline if Dutch universities could move to FOSS tools and Linux; think about it - if the universities run on Linux, said universities could offer a sysadmin course and basically grow more sysadmins and open up a new line of work for people that may actually have some staying power.

They’d both get job training and a degree that could be used outside the school at the same time.

If Copilot is permanently built into Windows with no way to remove it regardless of SKU, then bye Windows.

PCs even are still more open by a large degree than mobile devices despite MS’ multiple attempts to lock them down at the bootloader/firmware level and despite traditional desktops getting priced further and further out of reach to most people, with mini PCs picking up the slack in the budget sector as a result.

I wish them all the luck because we desperately need stuff like this and like Linux phones in the mobile space as Google and Apple threaten to lock the entire space down with Android and iOS respectively.
