California users practice penmanship in preparation to expected return to paper and pen.
Even if they could enforce it which I highly doubt, this law is clearly a "Fuck you and your free software".
Like if a "too young" user have the skills to update the OS to change or even remove the age verification, who will be responsible? Yeah I don't know either, but both will be bad.

Time for US-based linux distros to move their servers elsewhere (if they haven't already).
Everyone not in California: mutes California
Is this only for Californians? Only Americans? Or everywhere?
The Californian law only affects California.
Individual OS vendors might decide to implement it in a way that affects other places as well, e.g. in the past, Valve decided they'd rather not implement age verification for Germany and just stopped selling all porn / super violent games in Germany. Maybe they'll now implement it for Germany and California.
