@system76 I can't make heads or tails out of the California law: for example I have a graphics program, epts, written in Java (so it is kind of a plug-in) and distributed via a Java installer or some Debian packages, & I'm out of the loop. Meanwhile in Linux/Unix, even "ls" is an application. Is age verification needed for that? Or for running 'ping' to see why your network is misbehaving (how do you send/receive a "signal" when your network is down).
