Secure boot can be used as part of a chain that eventually ends with unlocking your cryptographic keys only if the software stack has not been modified.
Sure, for most people that'll make little difference, but it is an actual benefit.
Ah, I see your argument. There's a non-zero chance of a fursuit being covered in... fluids, so to avoid ever coming in contact, you avoid all fursuits.
For some it's a sex thing, for others it's not. Often it can be either for the same person, depending on context.
When I'm "in suit" in public, sex is the furthest thing from my mind. It's just being silly and fun. It isn't like I'm wearing a cum-stained fursuit and hugging people. That'd be disgusting.
You have no clue. You haven't experienced gross until you've marched through a sea of unwashed shag carpets trying to find the perfect position, getting jostled and bumped by who knows what body part. I still have flashbacks to MFF2014. I was there man, during the gas attack. Getting penned up like animals with literal dogs.
Agreed. This really isn't as simple as "training AI is/is not copyright infringement ".
It isn't like the technology is going away, and if big corporations with huge IP libraries are the only ones that have access... Well that isn't exactly a pleasant world.
That said, creators absolutely deserve to get compensated for their work, especially if an AI is regurgitating recognizable hunks of their art.
Every manufacturer includes the Microsoft secure boot key in their firmware. I'm not sure if any manufacturer includes a Linux-specific key. So Microsoft signed a bootloader with their key, enabling secure boot to work with Linux without having to load another key onto every device.
I know it's a meme right now to hate on pizza parties at work, but in a generally positive work environment when things get a little hectic, I really do appreciate not having to think about lunch for a day.
I'm not really that familiar with LN, to be honest. It looks like there's almost $500 million in the network available for transactions (source), and according to this report, there were about 6.6 million transactions in August of 2023.
Not MasterCard or Visa levels, for sure, but also not a 10 minute wait for a transaction to complete either.
Can't you load your own keys into your BIOS, letting you sign whatever you want anyway?
