Good luck age-gating the local copies of Wikipedia for anyone who downloaded it.

They don’t own your PC (yet)

MS pretty much owns the desktop PC space with Windows though, and even though there’s nothing stopping you from installing an alt OS on PC generally, Win11 not supporting anything older than Zen+ or Coffee Lake and flat-out refusing to run on anything older than Bulldozer or Nehalem even without support because everything before those arches lacks the POPCNT instruction, isn’t a good sign to say the least.

Hopefully MS don’t start acting like Google and start breaking WINE/Proton and DXVK/VKD3D and crippling Linux gaming and even general desktop use on Linux, or even forcing Pluton to be enabled platform-wide blocking the ability to install alt OSes.

And even your OS, blocking non-Windows, non-Apple, and non-Android OSes from being legally available because only Windows, Apple, and Android can age-verify or some dystopian crap like that? (good luck with that happening)

Lemme guess, the Fediverse is going to end up on that list too?

Good luck doing that at all inconspicuously considering you’d need to spin up disc processing plants or somehow get your hands on thousands of DVD-/+R blanks.

(I’m pretty sure if you tried to burn a DVD-Video disc with M-DISC media, that it wouldn’t be readable in most players).
