Future historians will not be referring to this period as the “intelligent age.”

I watched it just before making this post and I can say, without a word of exaggeration, it’s probably the worst film I’ve ever seen.

It’s faster to list the things that systemd isn’t re-implementing.

No, it means that Linux systems also need to blacklist the keys in their UEFI firmware. I don’t know if distros push updates for those blacklists or if you have to do it manually.

Any hung chads around here?

Instead of making a unilateral decision on behalf of all of the members of this community without any kind of consultation, why don’t you move to L.W and allow people who do want to be here, who do want to be subject to the moderation rules of this instance, to step in and take the reins?

I say unlock the community and appoint a new mod team. Who said you could just close the whole community, just because you’ve volunteered to take out the trash?

You made a tasteless joke because you didn’t watch the video.

Watch the video.

There’s some poetic justice waiting to happen here.

how do you know they are safe? who is auditing the binaries?

RIP Benny Harvey, miss you big man. Gone but not forgotten.

It sounds like what he was really doing was managing the relationship with upstream, and from the tone that the Arkenfox developer takes, it sounds like it was a relationship that needed managing.

After the drama around the privacy guides website(s) and the people who maintain them fighting for control, I cannot trust them.

People who seek to control something because it gives them power over a narrative should not be trusted.

The EU is weak, divided, and geostrategically boxed in

lol ok

do we need to create a TheChessBoardIsWrong community here?

If I’m understanding this correctly, it’s the mere existence of reloader.efi and the fact that Microsoft signed it that’s the problem.

ESET first discovered CVE-2024-7344 in July 2024. Since then, all vulnerable applications have been fixed, and Microsoft revoked the old, vulnerable binaries in its Jan. 14, 2025, Patch Tuesday update.

So Microsoft are just signing anything even if it breaks UEFI security? And presumably, now that this file is out there, it can be used to subvert SecureBoot on any system that hasn’t had its UEFI blacklist updated?

Oh great, Microsoft, good job.

Switzerland which has the strongest laws in the world

what does this mean?

also, Fuck anything predicated on being popular. We can exist without constantly competing for a popularity contest.

Fuck Bluesky and Fuck popular music.
