  • Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU?

  • Here is a taste of the future

    You CAN'T Jailbreak Your PC

    The days of "it’s my hardware, I’ll run what I want" are over.TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and Microsoft Pluton are forming a closed execution environment.

     
            You can’t replace the bootloader.  
    You can’t flash unsigned firmware.  
    You can’t disable the vendor-approved certificate store.

    Try to run an unsigned OS, and it will simply refuse to boot.Your motherboard no longer listens to you.It listens to Microsoft and OEMs.

    You Will Own Nothing, and Even That Nothing Is Tied to Your Old PC

    TPM stores your encryption keys in a non-exportable way.Your files, apps, and even your OS activation are now bound to your specific machine.

    Want to move them to another system?Too bad. The TPM won’t let you.Even if you own both devices.

     
            The machine is yours. The data, software, and identity within it are not.

    Installing Linux Will Be Illegal (Functionally, If Not Yet Legally)

    Secure Boot + Remote Attestation is the death knell for freedom-focused OSes.

     
            Your distro doesn’t carry the "right" signature?
    Blocked.

    You modify the kernel for performance or privacy?
    No longer attested.

    You write your own OS?
    You don’t get to boot.

    It’s not banned in law.
    It’s banned by cryptographic gatekeeping.

    Digital preservation will be technically impossible.

    Encrypted execution + hardware-tied software =No way to archive.No way to emulate.No way to restore.

    Games, apps, creative tools, all gone when the keys expire or the vendor shuts down.

     
            We won’t just lose software.
    We’ll lose entire cultural eras.

    It's like that Apple ad crushing musical instruments but for your entire digital life

    You Have No Mouth and Can’t Say NO

    Vendor lock-in is no longer a commercial strategy.It’s cryptographic reality. 

     
            You can’t deny updates.
    You can’t run unsigned code.
    You can’t refuse attestation.

    Because your software won’t run without it.

     
            The PC has become a compliance terminal.
    Saying "no" is no longer supported behavior.

    A hardware-enforced, cryptographically sealed cage.

     
            Your freedom to compute is being revoked—quietly, efficiently, irreversibly.
    The illusion of ownership is maintained only until enforcement becomes total.
    This isn’t theory. It’s shipping now.

    If we don’t fight back, there will be no root access left to reclaim.

  • PC Computers are nextThis is why the big deal with TPMWhy TPM is never a removable security deviceWhy you can't save your old PC with a usb TPM device,even though they are low power serial text devices

    And TPM itself is just the thin side of the wedge.It will grow more and more capable as an encrypted instructions processorEventually applications will run enough of their codeas encrypted instructions that they will become impossible to pirate.

    This means application on your offline computer will be just as revocable as cloud applicationand they will no longer be transferable, cryptographically tied to the processor core

  • And do what ? Walk down the road into darkness ? There is nothing. The only walkable land here is the side of the road, everywhere else is trespass. In all directions for at least 30 kilometers. Even the wild forests are owned, not that there is anything there to see or do.

    We have to face it, the internet is where other people are.Inside the prison.

  • why do allow a romantic partner to set boundaries on the potential relationships I could form with others

    it also just hurt to imagine him being with someone else and preferring them over me

    My problem is exclusivity being the standard or default requirement for almost everyone, in many case just because that's what everyone else is doing.

    This deletes, say 95% of the population. It's already a very improbable thing to hook up with someone compatible and have that requirement, unless you have a very high "hook up attempt" rate than you can just forget the whole thing as unrealistic, which I did a long time ago.

    It's just not going to happen, no interested, the terms are unacceptable I'm not even going to waste any time trying.

  • ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing

    Jump

  • It's hard for me to express it clearly but you description doesn't seem to include an overwhelming sense that being in any kind of relationship like that MUST also mean a exclusivity of intimacy. Complete with paranoia over whether you will ever violate this hard line and become a cheater.

    And I'm not against some people wanting that. I'm against that being the default understanding for almost all sexual relationships, even when the sexuality part dies and then you become a prisoner of the relationship, torn between convenience of staying together and being sexually unfulfilled, forever.

    Not to mention all the policing that comes around hunting violators of these pacts. And worse, the societal skewing pushing everyone into these exclusivity arrangements. Where I work, just 20 years ago it was well known that married people favored each other and the promotion were far more likely for married than the celibates. There are often many other forms of incentives, a lot of them financial, disfavorable toward celibates.

    These types of arrangement used to be inescapable literally, to the point of many killing their spouses and elites having wars over the right to escape, and still we barely are able to escape the oppressive institution and its demands.

  • It should also refuse to answer, any medical question, any engineering question, any finance question, anything that requires the responsibility of an accredited member of the professional–managerial class, to read the question, read the answer, and then decide if the question is allowed all and if he will re-write, change or simply block replies to the question entirely.

    Also such question should starting be 160$USD a pop
