Liquid already has confidentiality. I think the question is: how could they coerce the federated authorization to unfreeze peg-out to Bitcoin.

Well, exploits are different than sticky fingers. Those white hats could claim they raided preventatively.

Canada also has leverage over toilet paper. 29% of USA crude comes from Canada with the Midwest and Rocky Mountains especially dependent.

Right. They don’t need to get caught at scale.

At the risk of sounding off-topic, there is other legislation distinguishing OS which contain an individualized app store from those which do not. Maybe Facebook Under 13, Facebook Teen, and Facebook Adult should be different apps.

Colorado legislation, for example, won’t change if the OS license changes.

Sure, but what about LinkedIn?

There’s no legislation coercing that field. systemd is doing what GECOS and chfn and .plan allow, but OS vendors are free to remove GECOS, chfn or .plan support.

Wired has reported that ongoing DHS surveillance tracks “anti-tech” and anti-AI sentiment. So the tech firms have concerns on both sides.

Practically, the components of Android which mandate a user account are not distributed so that the user can modify them. The exemption does not apply.

Yeah most OSes contain open source code, but that doesn't make them open source as a whole.

But if Ubuntu bundles an Nvidia graphics driver that is not open source does that disqualify it? It's normal for there to be a mix of both open and closed source code in an os.

I think what matters is who is in control. You can always ditch the Nvidia driver and buy another card from a different company. Even if that one is not open source, you're the one in control.

A better example is: I install Debian and later, somehow, the Google Play Store. Maybe that’s the only way to get some driver. Who is responsible for asking my age: Debian or Google?

Google isn't allowed to, it was always Debian. If Debian doesn't, Google has to assume the most restrictive category, or deny service altogether.

For WSL, there will still need to be a passthrough.

But California could adopt some of Colorado’s language about containerization:

"COVERED APPLICATION STORE" DOES NOT INCLUDE: (I) A CODE REPOSITORY PROVIDER; (II) A CONTAINERIZED SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION; OR (III) AN ONLINE SERVICE OR PLATFORM THAT DISTRIBUTES ANY OF THE FOLLOWING APPLICATIONS IF THE APPLICATION RUNS EXCLUSIVELY WITHIN A SEPARATE HOST APPLICATION: (A) AN EXTENSION; (B) A PLUG-IN; (C) AN ADD-ON; OR (D) ANY OTHER SOFTWARE APPLICATION.
