Because the bank takes liability if money is taken from your account without your permission.

If there wasn't SafetyNet it'd be something else, probably per OEM like Knox which would be worst.

ugh, I really wish this was hyperbole but certain people at NixOS (many whom don't even use the OS) keep trying it.

Is the PLC a group of technical contributors or like a CoC committee?

I don't see any reason to think the web client is going away.

The decision for Veilguard to have abysmal writing was Biowares.

Tauri on Linux is horrible, but that's due to the poor state of WebKitGTK than Tauris fault.

6G will likely replace 5G rather than 4G.

4G has become the new 2G when it comes to IoT etc.

The "Green" part of "Green Party" refers to the colours of Hamas now.

I mean if nuclear fusion ever becomes commercially viable, you'd be nuts not to support it.

Private hospitals won't even take emergencies.

> larger batteries and make the device the same thickness everywhere

thermals.

That isn't the kind NFC you think it is.

It's RFID communication with a smart card. The bank would have to transmit keys to your computer to be able to interface with it, which they probably won't want to do for security reasons.

Because this entire movement has gone from being a noble cause to instead spreading FUD.

The amount of misinformation to scare people is alarming.

Sometimes a watch dog, if you don't poke the correct thing regularly the system can think there's been a crash.

I thought it was a slimmed down version of Grok 4.5 or even Composer.

It's not that clever.

Something like this would even be useful for npm etc.

AIs will control humans so we'll be the video game.

Kvrocks is both iirc, since it can cache the rocksdb data in memory.

What's stopping Flatpak from using a LSM to allow on-demand permissions like macOS?

Yes it was covered up.

TV licensing is unfortunately notorious for trying to convince people they need to have a TV license when they don't. Their letters mention things such as Amazon Prime, YouTube and Twitch.

How about the BBC actually give me a reason to pay the license fee rather than trying to force me to pay it when watching someone elses (usually superior) content.

If it runs on Chromebooks does that mean Chromebooks can be made into generic UEFI laptops?

This is interesting given Googlebooks actually use the same boot process as Chromebooks, they just chain into aboot.

Arch doesn't sign their kernels but SteamOS it not Arch.

SteamOS doesn't support secure boot, that's probably why.

> Aside from the fact that this is obviously not true (secure boot is possible on Linux, limine/lanzaboote come to mind)

Secure boot is not attestation. It does not provide userspace any guarantee the system booted a secure boot chain.

Secure boot can be bypassed by dodgy firmware (cough cough msi) or the kernel can lie to userspace about the secure boot state.

The moment the UEFI firmware jumps to the bootloader, secure boot is no longer useful.

> Look, if Canonical had one of their keys leaked, I can go and sign my kernel and kernel modules and secure boot just fine as if my kernel is one distributed by Canonical. There are no checks on whether the contents of the kernel are correct

This is literally where the TPM comes into play because your kernels signature would get written to the PCR register and fail an attestation check.

> This is about control over the ecosystem, an ecosystem Epic has spent their years spitting in the face of.

This is just FUD

iOS and Android both have remote attestation services and security coprocessors you can use to establish the integrity of the booted environment.

Desktop Linux has none of that.

> Probably the most egregious. Why am I not allowed to compile my own kernel? Why do I have to get a kernel, and modules, from specific, approved, vendors?

Because your kernel could have the ability to allow a program to modify the game memory and hide the fact it's doing so?

Most Linux users are probably using a signed kernel. I don't think this is as big of a deal as you're making out.

> Why else do you think the "implosions"

Namely by going too far and breaking the law by becoming discriminatory? So now companies are not going to touch DEI.

DEI killed DEI, not Trump.
