What the fuck? I saw that Colorado wanted to implement something like this but really, how do you enforce it? Is it illegal to install Linux now? Even if you enforce it at the login for Windows, what’s to keep someone from installing a browser that doesn’t recognize the curfew?

It’s like these motherfuckers think everyone just “goes online” with their phones and the vertical software stack those entail. And then, what about GrapheneOS?

Not “something like this”. AFAICT, the Colorado bill is a word-for-word clone of the California one.
