Some people want this bullshit.  Others want out.  Linux is the
answer.  Sure, you could not opt in with this feature, but it's the
very idea that Win11 is promoting irrational AI features, just flush

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.
