So Adobe users are a minority of a minority. In the whole wide (Linux-
dominated) world of computing, they add up to a rounding error.

Desktops are the ONLY reason any of us, including you, are here.  So why
do you Linux lusers always babble about the paltry number of
supercomputers in the world?

That's a good argument until you realize that Winblows *isn't* such a
fantastic desktop OS, in the first place.  Fun to use, sure, but only
if you have a very up-to-date computer, even Win10 in realistic terms
requires a lot of power, and 11 grew to be far worse.

Linux is a relief, from the commercial OSes' drag, M$ bloat and Apple
doofiness.

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.
