I rank quora somewhat lower than reddit when it comes to getting useful
answers.

When perfection is the standard, you end up with M$ or Apple's
crapware. I'd rather deal with the tricky stuff in Linux, it's not as
if that stuff doesn't exist in the M$/Apple world too, most people
just don't know about 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.
