No disrespect intended, and you probably have good motives. I looked at those links and it still seems like the focus is on boot security, focused around ChromeOS. Regardless of whether or not the issue of "opening things up" has

My understanding of open firmware is making sure that the booting process is accessible to the user. Securing the boot process from intruders is secondary to that. It appears that these talks are more about securing the boot process, rather

I'm sorry, this looks more about securing the boot for embedded devices and not really related to user control of firmware and preventing closed source code that takes away freedom/spy's on the user. The program of day one is

This looks more like a boot security event[0] rather than open firmware. Does anyone know of any other events that actually talk about open firmware implementations? [0]: https://www.osfc.io/archive/2022/

Thanks for being a part of this. I have been a supporter of Bandcamp since I found it a few years ago. I would donate some money to keep a site like this going that works directly for musicians and provides non-drm digital files., streaming

Yeah it seems like it's going in that direction. The new generation seems fine with streaming services, now. I worked for a few customers who want to retain their physical music in their homes with a media devices and stream it to all

This is why I dont work for anyone but my customers. There is no way I would deal with the kind of dissonance we are living through today. I do all my design work, my coding, my deduction for people that hire me directly for individual proj

I wonder if this is the reason why Starfield is so disjointed and the inventory system is the same as it always has been. You would think they would put a specialist on such an important part of the game.

Yeah but is the game industry really better off having such complicated games? Some might say no. I'm finding that I have more fun and feel better about supporting indie games. Less shit I have to deal with from companies that don&#x27

Riiight. Another cryptocurrency solution. crypto falls into the same category of untrustworthiness as the rest of these so called solutions. The only difference is the that crypto has a more murky past.

Microsoft should be the first one to be split up. Their dominant position is more pervasive than any other market because the operating system people use in their computers is the gateway to get too these other services. The second should b

Yeah, fastmail is pretty close to office 365. As long as you're not dependent on Aszure for other components. I suggest businesses think about migrating away from 03 65 because this problem will probably get worse in the future, since

Thats the guise the government operates with. They have to look like they are doing something. Passing new laws paints that picture. The real problem is removing those protections, the real situation is that people in that system are paid b

I dunno. Its seems more like a systemic problem brought on by too many people in that system who have something to loose, you could vote in a bunch of people that have a desire to change this, but Im betting, and i have seen it before, that

I work closely with an ISP in my field. It seems to me that the biggest threat to customer choice is independent ISP's being able to provide service through the building out of the cable infrastructure, at least in northern California.

I don't think that's the fault of the license, its the fault of the world going in a less free direction.

Thank you for speaking to what I have been feeling for a long time. I have been recently thinking about starting some kind of organization or initiative to push back against the anti-competitive behavior behavior that are rampant these days

This will be great for governments who want to silence critics of corruption. Just place the targeted media the law is intended for on the targets phone and bam! You have a case against them to discredit anything that persons says from then

Sorry, it sounds like you're defending the system that doesn't empower the public good. I hear reports time and time again that private companies that go publicly are burned by the artificial and unnatural need for constant growth

What about Microsoft? It seems like they're in a way worse position for from an antitrust perspective.

Don't they still have those privacy payment systems? I remember back in the day using PrivateBuyer. It was an autonomous credit card like payment system.

Agreed. There are legitimate reasons to have enforcement. The problem is the peace officer part has been divorced from the role. Getting rid of the role of a peace officer is not a good idea.

Does defunding the police mean stop having a police force in the country?

It's my belief that the United States uses Israel to beta test their surveillance strategies for this country. There's definitely some kind of close autocratic relationship between the United States and Israel.

Interesting points. I guess I was thinking about the principal of being stateless, which sounds insane. My philosophical thinking is in high gear today, maybe I am just getting tired of the rat race of life. I have opinions on the tax thing
