So do we just give up because it's too hard?

Right... we should not even try because memes...

Why not? Being terse does not make one right...

I mentioned it somewhere else in the thread, and btw, I'm not affiliated with the company, this is just my charitable interpretation of their intentions: this is not for requiring _every_ consumer linux device to have attestation, but

It's baffling to me that anyone can imagine pipewire has been created from scratch without any lessons learned from pulseaudio and the previous issues the audio stack on linux had, and solved , over the years. Nothing is happening in

Are you saying that attestation doesn't really provide any real security? Not even from the bank's point of view?

I think supporters of P2P as "the one true way" perhaps don't realize that federation is just as peer to peer if your user count is 1. The fundamental distinction between a communication network that is p2p and one that is fe

I think empathy should be given when a nation of people have to suffer through these events multiple times a week. Shutting down every thread about heinous acts in the name of "it's not interesting to me" is a very inhuman ac

When you inflame that reader with grandstanding titles like "FOSS has delusions" perhaps they could be forgiven for taking that literally when nothing else clarifies your trite generality, me thinks.

Open-Source in its actuality is not a lot about community. It's about making sure other people have everything they need to be able to run and modify a specific piece of software. The fact that, usually communities form around this par

... but somehow fails to qualify that distinction in its actual content. "FOSS" includes opentofu and mysql and the redis alternatives and a lot more than just social media alternatives...

But how long it'll take you to make that PoC? Any idea? :P

Another person that isn't able to make the distinction between developing software and operating platforms and imagining that everyone else is equally befuddled. The article is also quite wrong, because there are already multiple forks

Well ... hopefully they're open source and all that.

I can imagine the next big budget heist movie being written about this as we speak. An armada of ships traversing the Atlantic with 1K tonnes of gold being waylaid in the middle of the ocean by a huge storm when unidentified submarines bore

If Android is not a blocker, maybe even then, Jolla, a Finnish company, has been offering a Linux based mobile OS for quite some time. I frankly don't get why other EU companies building the hardware, like Fairphone and Volta, don&#x27

I would imagine, or rather hope, that "hand made" is not entirely just a metaphor for the people supporting Handmade network.

by mariusor 9mo ago
I for one feel like my 15$ spent on Handmade Hero were well served by having access to the source code and the breadth of video that annotates every line of code. I think anyone that looked at he proposition that Casey made as something mor

Lol, I had to hunt for drivers for a while and then research which ones match my hardware, then I had to research how to strip windows 11 of the more egregious privacy intrusions and nags ... in my case there was plenty of headaches.

Working on things that make you happy instead of pushing the agenda of your employers, which in majority is unethical, immoral, or plainly unhealthy, is dystopian? It sounds utopian to me. :)

I don't know how I could convince you, or anyone that's educated under the American capitalist system, that working for a commons is better in aggregate than relying on companies to pay for innovation and then keeping it a secret.

"only"... I don't think that means what you think it means in this context.
