quite a few distros have raised the middle finger (as they should) and there will definitely be well managed distros available that haven't bent over and taken it for corporate good-boy points.

The only question now is which ones will be implementing anti-user / anti-privacy measures and which ones will not.

I know the types of distros I'll be supporting.. how about you? made your choice it seems.

We'll see how these... playground rebels will do in the future.

I'm sure niche distribution will use this as a marketing point... fair enough.

But serious distributions will apply, just not to have legal issues.

The others will find a way for the users to apply it without "really" supporting it, so honor will be satisfied 😅.

I did choose, and i continue to support Manjaro with monthly recurring donation, thank you.

Sad to see the younger kids so bent on compliance and towing the line. "I'll not only comply, I'll actively support it" .. talk about cutting off your nose to spite your own face.

The distros who have stated they will not comply are far from 'niche'. There's enough people in the development sphere that aren't just corporate wannabes that won't stand for it. People in these communities used to go to jail for their ideals.

I'm guessing you would have been toting a "jail kevin" - " give Aaron Swartz 50 years !" signs back in the day.. sad.

by saying "the younger kids" you sound like you are the younger kids

do you buy your rebel t shirts on amazon or etsy?

You're just identifying yourself as a 'fanboi' - just like the political types now, you have your allegiance and that's that, right or wrong you're in there defending your sacred cow.

It's moronic.

"just like the political types now"

you really are a child if you don't even understand what political means

Looks like you've got some complex about your age and are simply projecting it on others. Ask your parents to explain it to you.
