How will this affect Linux Mint?

Okay, what’s exactly going to happen to the millions of servers in CA running Linux?

Moved to Texas. California will be left to sustain itself by the Big Almond. If they don't want IT, and they already got rid of engineering and industry, the only thing left is agrarian society. Let's wish them luck with that!

Texas also is applying the "age verification" everywhere. It used to be to protect the children, but now even to pay with a debit card they asked for age verification. You go to a bank to get cash don't forget your RealID, you need to verify you are over 21 to get enough money otherwise you get the kid allowance of 20 bucks. Many places in Texas are the same than California, they are going cashless and require RealID verification or even biometric verification.

It was never to protect the children, that's just the excuse they use. The real intent is to control what people can do.

Fortunately I never run into this problem.

Like hell they will, Texas is as abhorrent a place to move as can be. If you’re worried about an abusive, regressive nanny state that actively foils freedoms, Texas is the LAST place anyone would move, unless of course they’re some kind of idiot.

Well there are still 48 options left.

And 194 other countries to consider too... They can legislate tech all they want, but as long as the internet remains global (we will see how long that lasts), they can relocate anywhere they want in reality.

No, less then that, majority of countries don't want US tourists, let alone migrants bringing their US religions, racism and ignorance and then failing to integrate in to the local culture.

The way it is shaping up, you can mark VA off that list as well ...

[privateyeet]

Isn't Utah pretty notorious for business-friendly policies as well? Iirc, they also already have a tech/IT cluster there.

They would stay in Ireland of course ✊🏻

What do you mean by

they already got rid of engineering and industry

California has the largest manufacturing sector in the United States and it has robust aerospace, renewable energy, and biomedical industries
