Good luck getting -2/3- 3/4 of the states to ratify it.

I sure hope someone enforces the law
Do they use the BSD userland instead? Interesting…
Perhaps the definition isn’t good enough or accurate. What would you call a system that perhaps uses Darwin kernel or Hurd plus GNU user land, or any combo of.
Except for this law.
IANAL, he is probably breaking other laws too.
I am still hoping it will hit 10% market share within my life time. I remember when it was predicted to hit that in 2010, obviously it didn’t happen*. Of course for me personally, the year of the Linux Desktop was 2007 when I was finally able to use it as my main OS at home, I tried it before many times since 2003.
* not counting systems that use the Linux kernel but aren’t considered a traditional GNU+Linux desktop.
Stallman warned us, we didn’t listen.
I’m glad to see BadVista still up https://badvista.fsf.org/blog/view/?set_language=en
At what point does this all just become sinophobia?
Not as bad as you make it out to be, and I actually worked in the US with more Chinese engineers than US engineers.
It is not illegal is it?
If it is legal, then thank you China for the free backup.
A lot of progress needs to be made and laws and regulations are slow to catch up, but at least things are trending in the right direction:
Qatar takes action to protect workers from extreme heat
UAE’s midday break for outdoor workers begins on June 15
As opposed to regressing:
Florida joins Texas in banning local heat protections for outdoor workers
“Arabs bad. must have nefarious motive”
Summer started earlier than usual this year. The Saudi government needs to install more shades and outdoor cooling, as well as perhaps reduce the number of pilgrims allowed. 1.83 million at once, not counting those without permits, is a lot at once to take care of.
At least the Fediverse exists.
Maybe shouldn’t try to create a country on someone else’s land? Refugees are supposed to assimilate into the culture, not create a separate ethnostate and expel the natives.
More countries should do the same.
Lots of countries had female heads of state. Here are some Muslim* ones.
*Mauritius and Singapore aren’t Muslim countries but have a significant Muslim minority.
Under the law in Texas, doctors who perform abortions risk life in prison, fines of up to $100,000 and revocation of their state medical licenses.
This is excessive. Way too much. Cruel and unusual punishment is against the US constitution.
Seriously, just consider the following from bad evil theocratic authoritarian Saudi Arabia:
Expat doctor, nurse arrested in Saudi Arabia over unsafe abortions
The Ministry of Health in Riyadh referred the two medical professionals to the public prosecutor, and they face imprisonment for up to six months and a fine of up to $26,000 (100,000 riyals).
What is the punishment for a doctor performing an illegal abortion in Texas?
That’s even harder.
