I had set up these Linux servers. At that point I hadn’t got my first
laptop, the Eee 701 PC, otherwise I would have used it. I did editing of
files on the Linux boxes using Emacs, normally directly from their
consoles, but in this case it wasn’t convenient to do this. The client had
several Windows machines and Macs running OS X. I tried using SSH on one
of the Macs, and got into Emacs on the Linux box. Every time I hit CTRL-
SPACE to start a selection, it would pop up Searchlight on the Mac, I
think it was. There seemed to be no way to turn this off, and it was
driving me mad.

Well, I can't say I'm surprised.  Apple is just a laughable resource,
overpriced, overrated, literally a cult of right-brained people.  As
bloated as M$ Winblows is, at least it's not just some funky crapware
like macOS (save for the kernel and Darwin).

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.
