    As those are not general purpose computing devices, and additionally have no app store - no, and no.

    From the law text:

    © “Application” means a software application that may be run or directed by a user on a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device that can access a covered application store or download an application.

            I forgot to include nm and wpa supplicant to my arch install before I committed it to disk and am now stuck installing everything from offline pacman caches carried to my via local homeless people in the form of random USB sticks found in parking lots. Prove me wrong.

      The law defines a public webpage as a covered app store. Anything that can run doom and view a webpage is potentially covered.

      It’s way overbroad and unclear how it could be implemented, and likely to be challenged in court if it even gets that far.

        I’m looking for orgs fighting the Colorado one. I got “replaced” by AI recently, so I have all the time in the world to write letters, make calls, and go to town halls. I just don’t want to do it alone.
