The only thing worse than no security is a false sense of security. It’s better for someone to know they’re using an untrustworthy device than to find out the hard way.
If other phones can’t provide an acceptable baseline level of security, the GrapheneOS devs are correct to not support them. Yes, it sucks that the only phones supported are Google Pixels. They have a partnership with Motorola to create a non-Google alternative.
If you still don’t like it, fork it.
Embrace it. Teach these people how to use data URIs to “embed images into the HTML file”, then laugh when they burn even more tokens.
The Dunning-Cougar effect. I know this one and I’m never wrong.
Being baited into spending time replying to social media posts questioning the value of your time… you sure showed them, buddy.
Used used, or just used? File caches and memory-mapped files are technically “used” but are basically free since they can be evicted if that memory is needed elsewhere.
Why would they buy property they aren’t going to use? If their rockets did break people’s windows, it would be cheaper for them to settle a lawsuit for the repair costs.
I wonder what the value of an ad nauseum user is…
There is ReactOS, which is an ABI-compatible kernel and operating system. That is as close as we are going to get unless pigs start flying.
Almost perfect. You forgot to replace “community chest” with “shareholder portfolios”
this is a case where the problem isn’t the corporations: it is the government.
It can be both.
So… it actually makes perfect sense for the companies that dealt with this bullshit to get reimbursed by the christofacists.
If the company ate the cost, sure.
If the company raised the price on consumers to cover the tariffs, the consumers already made the company whole. If the company gets the reimbursement money on top of that, they’re double dipping.
He got off the couch? That’s worrying; couches are inanimate.
It won’t at first. If more essential websites start to unnecessarily adopt it, it will start to lock Linux users out of being able to access the services necessary to exist in modern society.
Imagine if you need age/identity verification to:
Meta is funding a lot of the lobbyists pushing for age verification laws. Uncoincidentally, Meta both owns a stake in a company providing identity verification as a service, and serves to benefit from not having to moderate its own platforms.
It’s like Secure Boot, but without any of those pesky self-signing workarounds.
“But that’s unenforceable”, some will claim.
And to that, let me remind us all of a little-known concept called cryptographic attestation. If that doesn’t ring any bells, then the term “secure boot” should.
Once this shit passes into law, that’s the next step. Operating system vendors have their private keys to sign attestation tokens saying “John Johnson is an adult” and you’re only getting one if you verify your government ID. When you go to a website, your browser sends your signed token to the website and then the website checks if it’s a valid token signed by Microsoft, Apple, or Google.
But Linux?, you may be wondering. No. No Linux. Kiss it good-bye. Your bank will “require” identity attestation for “extra security”, and your bank doesn’t give a fuck about Linux. Your bank will check against whatever list of public keys they want to trust, and it ain’t going to include anything not backed by a global megacorporation.
The man’s getting a two-for-one special of losing both a flame war and a real war.
They’re aware of their influence over the news cycle and public discourse. It says a lot that they prefer to focus the spotlight on a war even their supporters don’t want than those files.
If the files were a nothing burger, you know they would be bringing up them as a distraction instead.
But have you considered that Peter Theil knows the antichrist?
