- ai5iq 6mo agoThis is the same pattern playing out everywhere. The platform giveth, the platform taketh away. If your software's distribution depends on one company's good graces, you don't really ship it they do
- salawat 6mo agoBut nooooooo. All of us screaming bloody murder about UEFI Secure Boot impl's and code signing, and how they were the fundamental primitives to locking users out of general computation were the "paranoid" ones. The entire Trusted Computing initiative had exactly one benefactor, and it was people looking to constrain what you did on your own machine. Y'all just set up your "End-of-Analysis" goalposts too early, and blinded yourselves to the maliciousness bundled in silver tongued beneficent intentions. We'd be better off as a society all recognizing the inherent risk of computation than lulling people into a habit of "trust us bro" espoused by platform providers. Anyone trying to sell Trust is someone you can't afford to be trusting of. I'll live with the threat of rootkits if it means no one can pull this kind of shit.
