  • A linux distro is a linux distro. It’s you, who invests the time to experiment and understand, who unlocks advanced features. There’s no shortcuts to learning Linux than to use it and read about it and install it many many times.

  • It was amazing but I was young and it was wonderful to discover. I think people have fond memories for it really.

    It’s very similar to Lemmy, if not just the same thing done a different way. I think there were only upvotes (I can Digg it).

    For young people discovering Lemmy, as it is now, and discovering Linux subreddits etc, they probably get the same enjoyment/attachment etc.

    The redesign of Digg downplayed it’s communities and put mainstream media first (as if Kbins magazine tool was restricted to famous newspapers) and thus it immediately felt like the community had been fractured. Reddit was growing with peoples own blogs and it felt way more community oriented. This is where I think and hope Lemmy will also find its own community.

  • Could I buy a windows 11 machine with a TPM 2 compatible motherboard and compiled my own web server that gave away valid WEI tokens such that other users could present them for fake legitimacy?

    Does the token also contain a tracker that uniquely identifies my motherboard? (And therefore me, and by design of the protocol, serves to every one?)

  • You can’t live your whole life literally standing shoulder to shoulder with people can you! How are you going to eat or sleep or work? You going to spend your life living like a penguin? Except it’s also billion penguins deep.

    I don’t think you’ve started disproving anything yet. You’re a complete idiot.

  • It's easy to tell people how to bypass enabling the feature, you play the slow game. They're waiting for Windows 10 to fade out too. "Oh look you've beaten TPM.. so clever" but when 90% of machines have it enabled, they will switch on DRM for Netflix and leave you unable to play things. They say you chose to tamper with DRM security and that's why you can't watch things.

    In terms of conspiracy, motherboards components cost money. TPM adds risk to the operating system. They features are being shipped because they plan to use them. It's not just for the giggles.

  • Because they haven’t paid taxes to run the services they want to consume.

    Because we can’t all live in the same place and people shouldn’t be forcibly evicted from their homes by violent people.

    Because it ruin the lives of people who don’t live on the absolutely lowest rung of quality of life.

  • The argument against abortion is that it stops the next Jesus coming. Since Mary was a virgin why don’t we just ban abortions for Virgins. It seems like a fair compromise.

  • If you don’t have a valid token generated by the hardware device on your machine, the website can just refuse to serve you.

    A hacked copy of windows wouldnt boot with TPM switched on.

    The TPM module only generates valid tokens it if your boot sequence isn’t tampered. That boot sequence can force your machine to validate itself with windows servers to ensure it isn’t hacked.

    A hacked copy of Windows may be prevented from working when you go online.

  • What people really mean when they say this is

    it’s in the last place you think to look

    This again is a misnomer because, not just because you stop looking… but because people find it hard to admit things are lost. All part of the half serious, half ridiculous psuedo science of Findology (disclaimer: my own blog)

  • I just want remind everyone that Windows 11 requires your computer to ship with TPM2.0 enabled. This will complete the circuit meaning remote streaming websites can ensure you don’t have DRM on your machine.

    TPM is a security token loaded into the firmware of the BIOS put in by the manufacturer to ensure you haven’t tampered with the operating system as shipped and controlled by them.

    That will be nice for those websites.
