If you can feel a very small tinge of existential horror when you read the words “try to”, congratulations, you’re a true *nix devotee.

If legislators get grumpy about this, just gently thwap them with your handy copy of The Unix Haters Handbook and tell them you’re working as hard as you can under the circumstances.

    These laws are not written by the technically literate. They are written by attorneys based on the whims of old legislators who think that Siri is a real woman that they are talking to.

    While the people who write the laws are competent, the legislators are not.

    At the state level, it’s even worse because they are often given legislation carefully written by lobbyists and special interest groups.

    If you have any inkling to run for office, please consider doing so because we need smarter people in every branch of government.
