  • The creator of systemd wants to bring SecureBoot-enforced hardware attestation to Linux

    Jump

  • Thing is, that means you don't really own the hardware that you buy, because a corporation is dictating what you can do with it even though it doesn't belong to them. Most of us consider that unacceptable.

  • LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in

    Jump

  • Pretty noticeable that Gentoo Linux doesn't offer an option to compile OnlyOffice locally—it's only available as a -bin package, which means that it's precompiled by upstream. That tells me that either the available source is too incomplete to actually compile the software from, or it has some really strange licensing. Either way, it can't be open-source software in the accepted sense.

  • The creator of systemd wants to bring SecureBoot-enforced hardware attestation to Linux

    Jump

  • The chain of trust starts with the owner of the hardware, not some random corporation that happens to make an OS. The owner can, if they wish, outsource the root of the chain of trust to a corporation, but that should be an active decision on their part, not something that happens just because the hardware was shipped with some random OS preloaded.

  • Two-thirds of Canadians give Trump an ‘F’ for his first year in office; half as many CPC voters agree

    Jump

  • Don’t spread your legs for the cash.

    Sex work is at least honest commerce. Don't denigrate it by comparing it to the US's political circus.

  • The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about

    Jump

  • . . . And then the market will be flooded with RAM that companies preordered and can't pay for, because the AI bubble burst before it could be manufactured.

    Hey, I can dream, right? And seriously, I would be quite happy if this causes an increase in dumb appliances, devices, and cars in the meanwhile.

  • Basket Weavers Are More Educated Than You Dougie.

    Jump

  • Artisan basketweaving likely has a sunnier future than, say, auto manufacturing, under current circumstances.

  • IDF says it dug up Canadian soldiers' graves to destroy Gaza tunnel

    Jump

  • Always the same excuse—when will someone in a position to do something finally call them on this?

  • Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months—for all white-collar work to be automated by AI | Fortune

    Jump

  • Actually, I'd interpret it as him losing his job in 18 months regardless of whether he succeeds or fails, since management is a white-collar job.

  • Deprecated Linux Commands You Should Not Use Anymore

    Jump

  • Certainly whoever wrote that didn't do a lot of distro-hopping. As far as I can tell, Gentoo still includes sys-apps/net-tools in the @system set, meaning that it's not only installed by default, but it's quite difficult to remove.

  • China’s dancing robots: how worried should we be?

    Jump

  • How concerned should I be when the documentation for complex devices coming out of China always seems to be so bad that no one except the people who designed them can program them anyway?

  • Featured

    Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2026, Week 08]

    Jump

  • Then the latest (and apparently last) episode of Gnosia,

    We're not actually sure about that. The nature of the show is such that it might easily be another fakeout. Currently, livechart is claiming there will be another episode, but has no airdate for it. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on.

  • [Discussion] The 20 Darkest Anime Series of All Time, Ranked

    Jump

  • Ergo Proxy is dark? Darker than, oh, Mahou Shoujo Site, Deadman Wonderland, Ajin, Promised Neverland, or any of a couple of dozen others? Someone needs to watch more anime.

    Now and Then, Here and There, on the other hand, deserves to be at the top of the list. That thing is brutal.

  • Ford tells students to not pick 'basket-weaving courses' in wake of OSAP cuts

    Jump

  • Probably because "physical education" is itself bullshit. It neither provides enough activity for the students who are already active and athletic, nor encourages the students who are not active to change their ways (in my experience, it does exactly the opposite). I was overjoyed to be able to drop it after my first year of high school.

  • KDE Responds to FUD Over Alleged systemd Mandate

    Jump

  • That's because someone took the time to pull out the minimum required interface code from systemd to make elogind after gnome made such a mess of things. It's a band-aid. More band-aids will no doubt be created to deal with this. It's just that the necessity is annoying.

  • Why all Animes are made in Japan?

    Jump

  • Technically those are donghua, not anime, though. Similar in style, different origin.

  • [Episode] Gnosia - Episode 18 discussion

    Jump

  • Hmmm. Livechart indicates that there will be an episode 19, but doesn't have an air date. Maybe we're in for a week's hiatus?

  • Dr. Oz pushes AI avatars as a fix for rural health care. Not so fast, critics say

    Jump

  • Telemedicine: better than nothing, already used a fair amount in the more inaccessible parts of Canada (ideally in combination with a nursing station so there's someone with some training available to do things that absolutely need hands on location).

    AI medicine: likely worse than nothing, some people are going to get killed.

  • Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead

    Jump

  • They do make hardware in most of those categories, actually, but they don't sell much of it direct to consumer in the West. And unfortunately, the way things are going, they're going to be able to get better prices for it from the AI-entranced idiots too.

  • What dating apps are really optimizing. Hint: it isn’t love

    Jump

  • They're really optimizing for the income of the people who make the apps. No surprise there.
