It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!
Also if you care about security, install goddamn firmware updates. The firmware on the devices is only going to get more insecure. If the company wanted to insert a backdoor, they have done it already. If an attacker wants to attack your device, an outdated device is simpler to compromise using publicly available info than to go the expensive route through the manufacturer. The first doesn’t even need to be a nation state adversary.
If you want to protect yourself against rogue devices, IOMMU and microkernels are a better and more sensible solution.
People like me can’t change what big companies do. They just do it, and get their money from other companies and consumers who don’t care.
I personally don’t want to watch while free operating systems become increasingly unusable and insecure. Let’s instead use the devices to our advantage as much as possible.
No. You’re using a distro which enables you to use the devices you bought. If every distro would follow the misguided path, you would be unable to use your GPU with a libre operating system at all.
Nobody is stopping you to remove your firmware. Right now you’re not doing it, because you want actually functional hardware.
I agree! But in at least one case the FSF’s understanding/handling of free software is ineffective: firmware. Especially with boot chain security being increasingly implemented in a user freedom hostile way, the focus as presented by the FSF is imo too narrow.
That’s what people tell me, and why I played the demo. What irks me a bit is since it is level-based, my cool automation complexes get reset/lost everytime. That’s obviously the point of the game I guess, but… I guess I expected more of a Minecraft modpack kind of gameplay.
I guess I’ll just wait a few more months to see if I have an epiphany. It’s just so expensive in comparison…
If it weren’t so expensive… I was looking at Factorial and Cyberpunk 2077 for months now, but the price is so much higher than the games I normally play.
I have read Factorio’s reasoning for the price, but after playing the demo, I don’t see how they are in a different position compared to e.g. Terraria or Don’t Starve.
No one gets to decide what i run on my device
(Except your device’s manufacturer)
No one gets to decide where i run my app
(Except your cloud/SaaSS provider or proprietary app developer)
No one gets to decide what must be deleted
(Except your cloud/SaaSS provider or proprietary app developer)
!I assume this was your point already, I am just agenda posting over here :3!<
With Debian it’s just the apt-tor package, and the project maintains an official list at… onion.debian.org iirc?
I don’t know if serving onion traffic is more expensive for Debian/mirror maintainers so idk if this is something everybody should use
Bitcoin is a bad example, since it’s not designed as a private currency. Monero/XMR is actually usable.
