But you can just lie lol

That's what I always did as a kid. Maybe some good reasons not to do that, but that's still the reality of it.

It doesn't matter. There's no good reason to have it in an OS in the first place. It's obviously a stepping stone to get infrastructure in place so they can expand it later.

Let's put it this way. Linux says no. We're not gonna do that at a kernel level. Because there's no way in hell that's going through as long as Linus is alive.

Then what? Is California going to ban Linux? Guess what all the data centers use for servers...

I almost want them to do it, just to grab popcorn and enjoy the fallout.
