Would this bill ban the use of all operating systems released before it became law? That seems unlikely.

So then how about OSs released before it became law, with patches released afterwards? That also seems unlikely.

So then how about my computer's current OS, which is a heavily patched version of a little hobby OS called Linux, originally released in 1991?

I left the US in the year 2000 and it's gone downhill since then.

Has to be more than just coincidence.

I’m so happy that I’m an elder millennial that grew up before internet. I’m 100% okay not using the internet.
