It’s a waste of time complaining about proprietary OSes, because they are

Funny enough, I had to fail ten students of mine on their final
assignment because they decided to let AI write their essay for them and
they thought that I wouldn't notice. Nowadays, letting a student write
an essay over two periods means that they'll do nothing during the first
period, go home and let the AI write the essay for them, and then write
a final copy in which terms like "idyllic" appear.

Only Open Source OSes are perfectible in this regard, because they are
used by the same community that owns them and contributes to them.

 
Yeah, fuck M$ and fuck Apple too.  I wouldn't use anything but Linux,
now.

Most people will go along with it, but most people don't even know why
they celebrate Memorial Day. They are blissful in their ignorance.

I just don't really get the AI thing, but then again I don't need its
assistance for anything.

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.
