AMD is publicly traded. It has to satify the investors. If there are no left leaning investors, then it will have to satisfy the right-leaning, fascist ones. For them, it’s only good business. As shitty as it may be, for them, profitable isn’t enough. Line always has to go up. Going against the US nazi party means line goes down, investors unhappy.

For consumers in this space, there aren’t many options, unfortunately. Either it’s the US elite with its fascist ties you’re funding, or the Chinese elite with its “communist” party. The only real thing to do is consume as little as possible. But that would mean having to deal with the real world for too many people and they need to escape, which means consumption.

That’s how the world works.

People still use Lutris? I thought it had been superseded by Heroic.

I admit, I was a little dreamy :D

They have to, otherwise their big competitors will dominate. It’s how the garchy works there. The US needs a legal reset, but only when Trump is out and people are more educated or disconnected from social media.

What the hell are passkeys? I think outside deep tech forums, nobody knows what they are.

Is that FIDO? What’s the difference?

What are they?

Is this @pizzalovingnerd ? He looks just like him

I see you have made up your mind and nothing said will change it. 🙄

GrapheneOS’s propaganda about every android ROM being insecure except their’s seems to working.

Nothing is 100% safe. There are varying degrees. GrapheneOS can be exploited just “the most secure phone OS” that is supposedly iOS.

If attestation is wrong and GrapheneOS is slamming another group for making an attestation system but GrapheneOS has its own attestation, doesn’t that seem a bit hypocritical?

If your tinfoil is thick enough, no coherent thought can penetrate.

*Looks at community name.* Seriously?

I disagree. Attestation is definitely not wrong in a corporate setting where you want applications to only run on safe devices.

Taken out of the corporate world, it is problematic though, that I can agree with. But the solution shouldn’t be abolishing it without knowing why it exists. My guess is that there is a legal precedent or threat for it existing. Banks, healthcare applications and so on have a good reason to want to run in a secure environment. However, and this I’d where I think the alternative should be, users must have the option to opt out or say “I don’t care what you think, this device is secure, I will be liable for any damages to my own data should this device be insecure”.

Unified Attestation might actually be the way to include an opt out that is legally binding. So, again, instead of just taking a hard-line “no, I’m right all the time, my opinion is absolute”, it might help to think critically about things and ask “why” and “what if”.

So as long as I seem correct, I can be as rude as I want to? Flaming, slander, projection, is all fine?

Repartitioning is only the first step. How do you add a boot entry?

What do the F and L stand for in FLOSS?

The major difference is that it’s opensource. But as I said, it’d be better if people proposed alternatives to attestation instead of just saying “attestation is wrong”.

gentoo arch?

GrapheneOS with literally call anything shit that Gaelle from Murena touches. If Gaelle made billions and gave away an entire billion to an opensource project, GrapheneOS would whine day in day out about it. If Gaelle donated that billion to GrapheneOS, it wouldn’t surprise me if the disbanded or gave that billion away in order not to be associated with the money.

Attestation is definitely a tool to lock people in, but it has valid usecases that cannot just be ignored. For example, it claims to ensure that the device is safe, to a certain degree, from malware and tampering that could lead to security problems for applications on the device. Those claims are part of the appeal. Instead of writing pages of slander towards the developers of Unified Attestation and, what I can only describe as, losing their shit, why not be constructive. Propose alternatives, propose to work on something better, point to a group that could help work on something better, throw out ideas for improvements, etc.

A bit of drama is cute once in a while, but not like this.
