    Don’t be a fool. This will only mean that apps and websites treat every Linux user like they are 0 years old and you won’t be able to access anything.

    Do you really think they’re just going to be like “oh ha sorry open source is cool though, we are just taking computers away from the control of the masses so we can remain in power and continue to do exploitative capitalism and fascism forever because we want to punish only large global corporations”?

    No dipshit this change is meant to outlaw Linux in California

      Yes, yes I do. They know you can’t control everyone. And Linux is a rounding error in the context of desktop market share. They don’t care about it, and everyone else is “good enough.”
