Computers and the internet gave you freedom. Trusted Computing would take your freedom.

if unprivileged software can ask the integrity verifier component which private key is used as the integrity root, or what rules does the verifier keep, then it can be used by commercial software (and web browsers) to decide whether they allow running themselves on your computer (or whether you are allowed to watch netflix, or log in to the bank’s or the government’s website)
an arch user doesn’t know that!!
so, that further information is the kernel’s version number. it helps to keep some older versions. but you didn’t set it up to include the version in the filename.
és egyébként bojler eladó. processzorra cserélném.
that will help to make the terminal slower!
discord can be used without an account - until they kick you out demanding your phone number.
on matrix too you can have a guest user that works somewhat similarly, but most rooms don’t have that enabled I think. I am not too surprised about that, no idea how could that be effectively moderated. it also needs client support but element web supports it
http? really?
this is not new, but its time for the hdmi forum to fade into irrelevance
who said they’ll take away social media. the popular addictive services will remain
that won’t work anymore, because today not even just to youth, but everyone the only thing that matters is convenience. their friends are not on there? they are not interested! maybe they would try it for fun? too bad, their phone does not allow installing it
better yet: criticizing Debian for the instability of Kali
selective enforcement could give them way to give you effectively a life sentence for breaking this and that law
where did you read that?
To give you an example, if you have no water in your house you need to report on wp. No other way. And this is the standard for a lot of services, wp is the ONLY way to ask for support.
whatsapp requires phone numbers. surely they can be called
It’s a nightmare, i really want to get rid of meta services but it is impossible for my case.
if you have tech skills, try running a matrix bridge for whatsapp for yourself. take it slowly if you need it, you are not in a hurry. your own server, federation off. keep using whatsapp as you did before, and check for a month or two if the bridge is running stable. subscribe to notifications for github releases of the bridge to know if there’s an important update.
you won’t be able to leave whatsapp behind, but at least you’ll be able to get rid of its apps that do whatever that’s not for your benefit
It’s not as fancy. No graphs, blinking lights, paneled layout.
apparently it has it all
as I understood you are complaining that they don’t have a package manager. they do, but not for system software.
you did not read the article
plaintext is the unencrypted form of data. encryption produces ciphertext. encrypting the same data with the same key twice results in the same ciphertext, unless additional steps were taken to insert additional data that does not match (like a nonce) to the plaintext
the way it works is that the veracrypt container basically contains 2 encrypted partitions. if it can’t decrypt the first one with the password, it will try the second one, but always pretend to try both so that the time it takes to unlock it does not give it away. by writing to either, you risk overwriting data in the other one (except that you can input both the hidden and main partition passwords and it will make sure to keep the hidden partition unaffected), but otherwise both partitions are fully functional

It’s not about the google vibes, it’s that this thing could be standardized and used by several programs and websites.
here’s an example. with google’s integrity system, most phones can not go through attestation. an exception is phones that can run GrapheneOS. but for apps that require attestation, the developers need to change their app so that it accepts valid attestations of systems that use the GrapheneOS key. such apps can decide to keep only accepting google approved systems.
so far it looks like this will work similarly enough that software you run will be able to be picky about what distribution you use.
