The creator of systemd wants to bring SecureBoot-enforced hardware attestation to Linux
I don't trust Microsoft, why should I start trusting IBM/Canonical or Poettering now.
If the possibility is there they will happily lock you out of your own hardware.

"AI in mind" - so it's a grift. Good that they label themselves beforehand, so people don't get confused.

The EU is not far from the US in many aspects. The actions are just more subtile and the propaganda is better.

I think we are already seeing that with Microsoft. Another 2-3 rounds of AI and they forget how to build windows.

That's why I hate this idea that you can't judge things by "modern" standards. People always knew it was wring but decided to do it anyway.

From next week, Australia will require users to verify their age to play GTA Online and other R18+ online games
That's the first step, the next step is marking LGBT+ content only for adults. They can't ban it yet so they will find another way.

I propose that the developers take turns to limit the exposition to whatever it is, that makes people go strange when they have to develop a filesystem.

Yeah, that's Calvinism.
Try to be successful at all costs so you have proof that god loves you. A message that is really compatible with Capitalism.
PS: I just understood that you asked about the definition.
Basically a reform / protestant roman Catholic theology inspired by Martin Luther founded by John Calvin.

Why I’m skipping the proprietary "Little Snitch" for Linux
Nice, something running in an eBPF context with a blob in the middle, what could go wrong ...
Also there are already a lot of binary blobs in the kernel, that also makes me nervous a bit.

Trump voter: Somebody asked him ‘To what extent are Americans' financial situations motivating you to make a deal?' Trump didn't care. I was angry. I voted for you, and you don't care about me?
I'm trying to put that as neutral as I can.
How do these people think politics work. I mean do they think that voting for a person or a party grants them some kind of personal (parasocial) relationship?
I'm pretty sure that exists outside the US also, but I have only seen that coming from the US so far.
