Copilot is an example of why I'd never go back to Windows, even on a new machine, just always trying to think for the user, call me old fashioned but I'm capable of using ChatGPT independently of the fuckin' OS, if I even wanted it in the first place, which I don't.

[...] 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.
