Do you live in California?
Then my sincere condolences. But you will figure something out.
If not, just ignore this silly stuff.
What a stupid take, California is one of the largest econmies in the world. what get decided in california often leaks out to the rest of the world because companies don't want to have 2 seperate products so even if you dont live there you are stuck with it anyway.
Even if it doesn't affect you in anyway you should still worry about it because other states and countries will soon follow if it is left unchallenged.
Shh this guy might figure out how the usa works in another 10 years. Perhaps he will see a movie about it, I have no ideas where those come from, magic freedom land right?
We were just talking not about the law itself or how commercial products are affected, but about personal hobby projects and small Linux distros.
And for those the effect is negligible (and the law also should be ignored by them, as this will be the most effective form of challenging it imho).
I don't but I roleplayed for the bit.
If it weren't completely, stupidly unenforceable, I might still worry about this idea being exported to the rest of the world though.
