Without the document text, who knows. But I would not consider it a stretch for a court challenge to interpret “operating system” as “any software that allows a person to interact with computing or electronic hardware”. Which would blanket cover all embedded devices.
Meshtastic does not have the bandwidth to replace the internet. It handles message just fine, but the amount of data you’d need to send for even a quarter of what the current internet can provide would feel like trying to surf the modern internet on a 56k modem.
It’s what should’ve been done instead of IPv6 – well, maybe it’s a bit of a non-sequitur for the current problem, but it would create a different internet that maybe could be routed around the age-verified one if that comes to pass.
What about kids toys with some chip in it? My car probably has 30 chips and OSes in it, am i supposed to age verify those OSes? What about servers that run databases and other things, am i supposed to register those? thos is all so fucking stupid. god i hate fascists.
Does this apply to Mestashtics?
Meshtashtic-net, anyone?
I wonder what the “Lib-Right” would say about this lmao

LMAO at the engineers having to verify their age on systems controls
“You figure out what was wrong with PLC7 yet?”
“Nah, TrumpCard ID systems are down, can’t log in.”
“Cool, guess the city is going without running water tonight.”

A 56k modem is way faster than Meshtastic. It’s more like a 1200 baud modem and everyone in the neighborhood shares the bandwidth.
yet
Maybe we could get some open-source routers and kernel patches going to implement this instead: https://bill.herrin.us/network/ipxl.html

ERROR: YOUR PACEMAKER HAS CRASHED, PLEASE PRESENT YOUR ID TO VERIFY THAT YOU…
checks notes
… actually need a pacemaker and not just some kid… why need ID? cuz… something something counterterrorism and protect children…
It doesn’t apply to anything open source because it can’t be enforced.
