I run IRC and Usenet apps under Wine, so what?  Do you think that's
all I'm doing with my computer in 2024?  I could do that with WinXP,
FFS.  You harp on the use of Wine as if it's wrong to use.  I think
it's a great way to enjoy the benefits of mIRC and Forte Agent without
running M$.

I have VirtualBox with 32-bit and 64-bit unactivated VMs of Win10,
haven't really done anything with them.

I thought you had a friend who could use it.  Please do.  I have no
use for it.

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.
