I can’t really stand behind and defend boycotting every defense tech investor.

I can. Easily.

This is what, the fourth time a Linux community gets excited about this? But that’s actually not good for us at all. Much like Android’s safety net, or the nightmare that is the Mac equivalent, the entire point will be creating an untouchable chain from the firmware to the final OS being booted, and only allowing some apps to use a specific API to attest this isn’t compromised.

This is horrendous for people trying to modify the OS or, in a more relevant tone, run programs meant for that OS on an entirely different environment. Microsoft has slowly been moving towards making this work on PCs, mostly due to pressure from DRM providers like Netflix or banking apps, but unlike Apple they can’t simply lock everything down at once and say “deal with it” because Windows lives by backwards compatibility. Either way, this is just another step towards this upcoming future.

If your favorite games now start asking Windows if the chain of trust is not tampered with… say goodbye to compatibility with Proton.

By that metric, you can argue Kasparov isn’t thinking during chess

Kasparov’s thinking fits pretty much all biological definitions of thinking. Which is the entire point.

That entire paragraph is much better at supporting the precise opposite argument. Computers can beat Kasparov at chess, but they’re clearly not thinking when making a move - even if we use the most open biological definitions for thinking.

Apple is significantly behind and arrived late to the whole AI hype, so of course it’s in their absolute best interest to keep showing how LLMs aren’t special or amazingly revolutionary.

They’re not wrong, but the motivation is also pretty clear.

It doesn’t “need” to be anything. It could be a DKMS module that is mandatory for playing a game.

Whether people would like it and use it is a completely different story.

Certainly depends on where you live.

Unlocking a Samsung phone is trivial here.

Absolutely nothing prevents somebody from writing a kernel level anticheat on Linux.

Users would throw a fit, and it would be way easier to bypass, but it certainly could be made.

not generations before

If by “Generations” you mean the literal previous generation that was advertised as backwards compatible and where many of the games won’t receive specific patches precisely because running natively and better was one of the key features of the new console… Sure, I guess.

with consoles, it’s 100% of the time

Several Switch 1 games are facing issues on Switch 2, including broken textures, crashes and weird behavior. This whole “consoles are 100%!” idea has been dead since the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 generation.

It’s 2025, I’m not your middle school teacher, I’m not going to “show you” anything. Go learn the subject yourself, or don’t and keep repeating nonsense as if it were some deep insight, either way I’m fine.

How easy is installing something like Graphene on a Fairphone compared to a Pixel?

democracy can be viewed as a dictatorship of the majority

No. If you had even the most basic theoretical background on the subject you’d know how wrong this statement is. Yet people like you dangerously believe this surface level third grade understanding of democratic systems somehow makes them an expert.

Perhaps consider watching the recording or reading what actually happened before typing a massive rant claiming others are wrong?

Nope. They just don’t know what they’re talking about, something unfortunately common when talking about Proton.

The promise was that people would literally stop going to real life music shows to watch them on Second Life, buying fake cans of sponsored Coca-Cola and inviting friends to one night stands on their digital flats. Going on for 20 years is not the norm, but not unusual either - RuneScape is older and my neighbors have no idea what it is.

The reality is that we forgot about the game in less than two years and the surviving community is small, even if they pay a lot.

That’s exactly what’s going to happen to AI agents promising to replace an entire department or the creative team in a studio.

Dude trust me bro this plot of land on Second Life will be worth more than your house in the future, this is the world wide web bro

The lobotomized chimp with a typewriter trained on internet comments is now reproducing internet commentary? I’m shocked!

Just ask Grok to fix the servers, AI is so much better than humans right?
