- jraph 8mo agoI don't know about you, but for ethical reasons, I only allow libre rootkits to run on my systems.
- sva_ 8mo agoDo you compile them yourself then? For possible arch specific optimizations
- da_chicken 8mo agoAre you even free if your rootkit isn't part of Gentoo Stage 0?
- fc417fc802 8mo agoIt's just like a gun free zone. You glue a prominent sign to your laptop that uses bright colors and an imposing font. "No proprietary software permitted!" Problem solved.
- throawayonthe 8mo agoi think this comment is referring to the uniquely american controversy over "gun free zones", ie zones where... you aren't allowed to carry firearms by law, often marked with a sign which i find very entertaining, saying "a sign can't stop a criminal!" as if that's not the case with any law enforced via threat of criminal prosecution
- fc417fc802 8mo agoI don't think I'd call it a controversy exactly. There are places where the signs make sense (ex court buildings) and then there are places where they are purely performative. When a school in the ghetto that suffers gang related violence prominently posts such signs they rightfully get made fun of. Meanwhile most schools (at least where I grew up) either don't bother to post such signs or only post a subdued "all weapons illegal" near the entrance (that includes even pocket knives BTW it's not just a gun thing). Another great one is "drug free zone" seen plastered all over a seedy highschool. Drugs are blanket illegal everywhere here. The US has made an art form out of persecuting drug users. We've peddled our "war on drugs" globally. What could possibly be the point of posting such a sign?
