Erm. I fail to see how this moves the needle unless usb-if is doing extreme firmware level source analysis and deterministic compiles and checking them against shipped firmware. Which I doubt is happening, with every atom in my body.

Bruh. I mean this as a genuine ask. Have you heard of Nix and is there a reason it didn't land on your radar or was rejected? Because what you want exists and has a thriving community, and a package set that outclasses, well, statistic

It means we can build the same thing and check the output hashes. In terms of deriving a method for trusting build infra, it's basically the end all-be-all. I almost don't know how to answer it.

I'm sure you've heard this before, and I'm sure you don't give a slim shit, but like 3 minors a year undergo gender reassignment surgery. After countless consultations with physicians, therapists, parents, etc. And hormo

You know, someone had previously written that Meta should be held accountable. Which I guess I didn't consider too strongly. I'm sorry, but Meta knows why "adult-run minor accounts" make them revenue. Fucking disgusting.

Its pretty simple. The parents almost surely would've been more cautious about their daughter getting married. But turning her into a marketing content mill on the internet was done with next to no consideration of the consequences. An

But have we weighed the social impact of teens not publishing themselves online to pervs? /s This, like every other problem with pervasive brainrot technology, and hell good old fashioned ways to shut a brain off, will be talked about

I am not sure I will ever stop being weirded out, annoyed at, confused by, something... people asking these sorts of questions of an LLM. What, you want an apology out of the LLM?

I almost want one of these, except I have no use for it nowadays. Ventoy didn't even work the one time I tried it, probably because it couldn't hook nixos's initrd properly. But also, I'm insanely frustrated that (1) Goo

Huh? This entire subthread is about Freenet and moderating the medium. The analogy is that if USPS were trying to do so, it would be absurd. It also highlights why I think this is nearly intractable. Distributed, censorship-resistant design

by k8svet 2y ago
Uhhh. Look I think this is sort of an intractable problem. Technology is advancing. Humans are terrible. No technical or political solution is going to stop atrocities. That's of course not to say we shouldn't try to educate, prev

Nothing about the described scenario is remotely unique to Freenet. By a long shot.

Huh. You think you'd proofread the copy in your lead marketing image.

Fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing this. Good read.

I can't decide a tone for this comment. But comments like yours make me want to go make a new "distro" that is just triggered when nixos updates and publishes an iso with Nvidia pre-installed. Lol maybe even do it for every m

This is quintessential MSFT. I have absolutely less than zero doubt that there is a informal/formal agreement that they're called such. They always pull this crap. And then their OEMs realize later that the "Windows 8 Ready&q

Okay. Now they have a distro from someone that doesn't care to respect licensing terms. And an end user who apparently can't be trained to click a few times in an app store... Yeah, let's imagine how they react to their entir

by k8svet 2y ago
"how many clicks does it take to install Nvidia or steam" is not a good measure of a distro. I will stand by that statement strongly, I think. Let imagine a totally-not-real distro that definitely isn't pushed on noobs consta

Such a good reply. Even if somehow you avoid even creeping bit of AI (I'm trying as hard as I can), you will inevitably live amongst others that don't have the same information literacy or skepticism as some of us. And while using

Give me a break. Its the kernel, drm, mesa, and proton. The distro haw scant all to do with it except a bunch of newbies loudly claiming "new distro" is the best because it includes one single extra package pre-installed or someth

(I was thinking about this, and maybe it's intentional. Make Chrome a first class citizen on formerly-ChromeOS. Make ChromeOS a generic base for AVF VMs. Maybe they even have cros working so well that they can do crostini inside an AVF

And now this submission is just gone. Rather disappointing, this was an interesting topic. (if this gets restored and someone wants to remove these comments, feel free)

by k8svet 2y ago
Why did the other submission, with good conversation, just disappear into oblivion with this one in its place? :/

I think these are quite interesting questions. Chromium just spent a lot of effort to get stock Chromium working as a ChromeOS client, rather than it purely being available as part of ChromeOS itself. Is that ... pointless now in the face
25.
by k8svet 2y ago
Well, this is a slap in the face. ChromeOS has had a long-standing tradition of requiring device kernels to be in their tree. Giving them a better shot at long-term/community/Linux support. It's hard to not cynically read thi

Yes. There's like a partial frankenbuild of Wallet built into the Google app, and you can get to it, somehow.

They should've left it disabled, and then "accidentally" enabled it, or nagged people into enabling it. I think it would've boiled the frog slower and been more successful. Alternative cynical take: they needed to have a

Even after I've read and enjoyed it, I skim the title in the list and still think that's what it must be.

How does that work? Can authorities compell Microsoft to surreptitiously have only my computer randomly unencrypt and submit stuff? If so, couldn't the authorities just tell MS to activate a tool like recall anyway?
