Summary: Microsoft is just blatantly trying to obstruct BSD and Linux from even booting on new desktops/laptops, having simply resorted to illegal tactics while bribing those who would otherwise deposit a complaint with the authorities
Background: Aside from the links above, consider that Lenovo (probably more OEMs to come) has become outright blocking Linux from even booting on some new laptops. They're not just preloading Windows, they force people to keep it and use it. They're using the false pretence of "security".
Like Scam Altman, they're better at buying publicity (paying for hype) than they are at delivering something of genuine value [...] That has the full make-up of fake news and a publicity stunt
Comedy has long been "controversial", but trying to get people sacked for the 'wrong' joke results in having no comedians or only pseudo-comedians who are the dictator's jester/joker
