California's age verification law almost forced Linux distros to collect user ages.
The open source community pushed back.
Now the same lawmaker who wrote the law wants to exempt Linux from it.
While distros like Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, Mint are likely in the clear...
SteamOS is till on the hook.
One of the rare times making noise actually worked.
Let's hope that this sets a precedence.
La Agencia Española de Medicamentos publicó sus conclusiones respecto de la homeopatía.
En resumen, no funciona en ninguna circunstancia.
Es un placebo.
(Los gobiernos no tienen por qué sostener la homeopatía con el erario).

Así comienza.El proyecto ArchLinux 32 ha restringido el acceso a los usuarios brasileños.
Esto se debe a una ley brasileña recientemente implementada que impone la verificación de edad a nivel del sistema operativo.
So it begins.
ArchLinux 32 project has restricted access to Brazilian users.
This is due to recently implemented Brazil law that enforces age verification at the operating system level.
But this is more of a workaround, if I can even call that, than a solution.
More and more US states are proposing age verification laws at OS level.
What then? Will Linux distros start restricting their web access in those states as well?
I find it frustrating that none of these "guardians" of Linux and open source have reacted to the OS-level age verification law:
- Linux Foundation
- Open Source Initiative
- Free Software Foundation
- Software Freedom Conservancy
After years in limbo, NASA’s groundbreaking Mars Sample Return (MSR) programme, which was supposed to ferry Martian material collected by the Perseverance rover to Earth, looks set to be cancelled.

Ir a Washington DC y no visitar algunas de sus 7 maravillas es como venir a Titirilquén y no conocer su fábrica de escobas. Un buen relajo para lo que vino después: grabar el Tiny Desk de 31 Minutos, que quedo impactante y se estrena mañana temprano.

We've looked at an eclipse from both sides now...
While @NASAGlenn was looking up to see last night's Blood Moon, @fireflyspace's Blue Ghost lunar lander was looking back at the "diamond ring" of a solar eclipse. A reminder that what you see often depends on your point of view.
Happy Pi Day! Are you grabbing a slice of your favorite pi(e)? Or penciling out other ways to observe the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter?
Here's a ROUND of applause for all the ways to celebrate.
