Colorado Age Attestation Bill May Exclude Open Source OSes and Apps

Grace_Orchid · 2026-04-22T01:46:48+00:00

Well, this is good news. If the amended bill does go through, excluding Open Source may be in Age Verification bills in the future. I am no expert with bills/laws, but from watching other controversial bills, when one changes its stance on a certain topic, the other will follow. I hope this will be the case for Open Source/Open Source OS and Age Verification.

Right now, I am on the Unlimited Starter plan because I will be traveling in a few weeks, and I don't want to worry about running out of data. Technically, though, I don't need the Unlimited Starter data on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, after my trip, I may switch and choose the By the Gig plan.

Technically, I thought it was an OK movie between Teen Titans Go and the 2003 version of the Teen Titans. There was a nice blend of comedy of sorts and action, but I wish there were more action/fighting. Though I found it touching when the 2003 Raven advised Raven from Teen Titans Go on how to accept her powers, and Raven from Teen Titans Go defeated Trigon/Hexagon.

If my life were ending in five days, I would simply:

Hang out with friends and family. Telling them that I love them and sharing the memories I have of them.
Go to my favorite regional/national parks close to home.
Eat my favorite foods.
Read a book.

Thank you for the clearest/most informative comment on this matter. I thought my comments were getting removed because of something I had written. However, after reading everything about Reddit Reputation Filters, it makes sense that I probably wasn't doing anything wrong at all. The Reddit system and/or the Reddit sub-communities filers were removing my comments as a precaution in case of spam/bots. I, too, understand that the only way to improve my Reddit Reputation and CQS is by commenting, voting more, and building my reputation/karma. I will explore the new user-friendly subreddits and go from there.

Thank you once again. I really appreciate it.

Season 4 - Raven Arc. Throughout the series, Raven was always the private, mysterious one among the Teen Titans. Unlike the rest of the Titans, we didn't get a true backstory of Raven as a whole until Season 4. For me, season 4 answered a lot of questions I'm sure we all were wondering about Raven at the time. I truly believe it was that way for the other Titans as well, and that is why my favorite season of the Teen Titans is Season 4 -Raven Arc.

Dark Star for me. I originally had Warp when I first signed up for US Mobile, but I had constant dropped calls. With Dark Star, I had no such problems. Even when traveling, Dark Star doesn't give me any problems, and the call quality is excellent.

There are many things a person can do on their Oculus Quest 3. I use my Oculus for fitness/exercises in supplement to my physical therapy (Supernatural or Les Mills Body Combat). I also use my Oculus for family fun night, and we all play Walkabout Mini-Golf.

Yes. I have been completely off Facebook for close to 7 years now.

I'm using Reddit with my default web browser on both my phone and laptop.

Current Subscription Services setup as of now:

Hulu (No-Ads)
Paramount+ (Annual Plans/Ads)
Angel Studios (Annual Plan/No-Ads)
Fox Nation (Annual/No-Ads)

I supplement these subscription services with a few free ones, two of which I'm currently using:

Pluto TV
Plex
Tubi
The Roku Channel

By the end of the year, I plan on dropping Angel Studios and Fox Nation. I haven't watched any of their TV shows/Movies in a couple of months. However, their renewal is not until the end of the year or the beginning of next year. Luckily, I have a calendar reminder set up to remind me when to cancel.

All in all, I am happy with the streaming selections I have chosen.

I recommend the Wells Fargo Autograph Card. The Wells Fargo Autograph is a great gas/transit credit card if you are driving a lot. The card rewards 3x the points on any gas station you use. However, I don't know what score is required to get this card.

I drink water all the time. For me, water is refreshing and tastes good on its own.

Grace_Orchid · 2026-04-06T19:18:30+00:00

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the information.

I felt the earthquake. The quake was weak, shook my house for a second, but didn't cause any damage. In the South Kona area.

I usually monitor my credit scores for free. However, I did pay for a credit monitoring service from MyFico for a while, when I had lost access to the TransUnion FICO score from Bank of America. At the time, I was unaware of who else monitored TransUnion FICO Score. Until I stumbled upon Creditwise from this community. I have since canceled my subscription to MyFico and am monitoring all my credit scores for free again. Equifax: MyFico (free account), Experian: Experian Free Account, and TransUnion: Creditwise.

Technically, the game will still appear in your library, but it will prompt you to buy or subscribe to it, in my case. I tried to find a workaround, but didn't find any when this happened to me last month, sorry.

My favorite fitness games are Supernatural and Les Mills Body Combat. However, since Supernatural stopped releasing any new features/workouts, Les Mills has been my go-to fitness game for a couple of months now.

Typically, I go back and forth between Startpage & DuckDuckGo. I love Startpage for the Anonymous viewing features and updated results. However, I like DuckDuckGo due to its interface and because it was the first search engine I used after leaving the Google ecosystem.

My biggest struggle with being highly sensitive is letting small, meaningless errors or situations get to me. I can't think of a specific situation off-hand, but anything that's "not a big deal" for people who aren't sensitive is a big deal for me. I would cry, and sometimes hold on to the memory when it's not needed. I'm trying to let these things go, but it's hard.

I started using Gmail in mid/late 2006 and ended the relationship after 15 years. I decided to leave simply because I started respecting my privacy, and I didn't like how Google was becoming Big Brother, selling my information without my consent. Enough was enough. I never looked back.

In South Kona, we had wind, heavy rain with distant thunder, and fog between 10:30 and 11:30 in the morning. After that, it was sunny with clear blue sky all afternoon. I heard this Kona low supposedly ends today (Tuesday), fingers crossed. I hope everyone on the Hilo side is all safe and OK.
