It's pure suicide.

known to collect data by default, so the telemetry argument is out the
window unless you get rid of those two.

 
Yeah, because Mac OS and Windows are so much better about "not" collecting
personal information.

Not really. The telemetry on Windows and MacOS is a LOT more pervasive and
almost impossible to completely remove. And Windows (the control freaks who
program it) decide what you should do with your computer if you're using
their crap. My daughter and her husband have just run into Windows' "fun and
games" when their Microsoft Windows computer "helpfully" automatically
updated their computer from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Now, apparently, they
have several issues — one, apparently, with the network card driver.

Being forced to use 11 is wrong, if that is accurate.

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.
