The corporate-software drones may be going that way, I sure as hell am
not.  I hate the concept of an app running in the cloud, how is that
not a downgrade?  It would make sense for a video game, not for a
business app.  And the AI crap is just laughable, "Copilot" my ass, I
assembled my computer and I can assemble knowledge, without an
overgrown bot spouting data to me.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
