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.

      (swat team bursts through your door)

      (They ignore your pile of guns, alcohol, marijuana)

      (They ignore the Epstein files you printed out)

      (They lock you up.)

      (Before they leave, they walk over and shoot your dog.)

      Why? As long as they release the source, it should still be good. Californians will just have to build everything themselves and risk breaking the law
