And why would this particular law exempt Azure Linux only and specifically?

Wow, I've really got to spell it out for you, huh? Azure Linux will not be exempt - Microsoft will add the required routines to it, and if they are the only ones to do so, then they soak up the server market in CA.

ETA: I doubt that will wind up being the case as other commercial vendors will not want to be left behind, but we were discussing the theoretics.

So you literally got mad at a made-up scenario in your head?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 child)

Please point out where I got "mad."

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago (1 child)

When you acted exasperated at having to explain something, for example. Or now, asking for proof that you were mad. These things are not done in normal, polite conversation.

Well, you're obviously either not terribly well-grounded in reality considering how many times I was patient enough to answer what was effectively the same question - never mind that it's perfectly reasonable to ask for proof when accused of something, or more likely you're a poor excuse for a troll. Either way, I've got better things to do than feed whatever your neurotic issue is, so I'll be blocking you. Good luck with finding the mental health assistance you obviously are in need of.
