You clearly don’t understand how much engineering, medicine, materials science, and other research happens because of manned spaceflight. Plus, there are things you can only study in microgravity.

NASA budgets definitely look big, but the value of the technology produced in that process (and consequently released to the public) dramatically outweighs the input. This has been proven over and over again.

You’d be surprised how much of that tech is used for precisely the purposes you want - feeding people sustainably, healing the sick, etc.

An operating system can lie about that though. The only reason it doesn’t is because of convention.

There is no technical reason it couldn’t look like a different OS. Try changing your user agent, it’s that simple in most cases.

But here’s the thing, nobody knows what operating system you choose to install. This regulation will be equally as effective as anti-pirating legislation has been, which is to say, essentially nil.

If they really want to punch Adobe in the face they need to give GIMP’s UI the Blender treatment.
