"Following the basic rule that all legislation is named the opposite of its actual result, I bet that the real effect of this is to make Linux and other open source software too expensive to use and thus come back to Windows."

That was my thought as well.

Microsoft and Apple are both hardcore woke companies, as well as Adobe, Google, and many others. It benefits left wing government to keep people paying money into these - what are essentially - laundering machines for left wing corporate goals. It is in the left's best interests to keep these companies funded.

I spent some time trying to convince most of the conservatives within my reach that switching was a benefit for us.

Of course, nobody listened. Well, now, here's the legislation to lock us out.

We simply don't have a lot of activists in our midst. Nobody was going to switch, and it doesn't matter how woke these companies are. Apple could've come out plain as day and said "kill whitey" and nobody was going to move.

Woke was not motivating enough, in and of itself.
