Can’t say it’s obvious how to change certificates on my motherboard. Just updated the BIOS and had to turn off SecureBoot so it could boot into my Linux install (MSI B450 Tomahawk Max).

Who decides what SecureBoot considers trustworthy? If SecureBoot is controlled by someone else then it can be used against the user. The aversion to SecureBoot is justified.

I’m a software freedom enjoyer so I don’t have most of those types of apps already (only Discord… which I hope friends ditch soon).

When I looked into installing a new OS it I needed some program or use Android Studio which had it. However, the AS binary demanded I agree to an EULA beyond the “open source” license I was expecting. Whatever I needed it couldn’t find an up to date method of compling it myself.

Right to repair my F-35!

How do I "uncertify"y Android device? Install a fork I guess. Shame it’s not as easy as installing a new OS on the desktop.

Before hitting submit I’d worry I’ve made a silly mistake which would make me look a fool and waste their time.

Do they think the AI written code Just Works ™? Do they feel so detached from that code that they don’t feel embarrassment when it’s shit? It’s like calling yourself a fictional story writer and writing “written by (your name)” on the cover when you didn’t write it, and it’s nonsense.

Forcing the copyright holder to sell on DVD would be problematic. Why not just permit others to offer it in a format that is apprently in demand (e.g. by reducing copyright to 5 years, instead of ~5 billion)?

Pirating is indeed one thing (on boats… stealing, with violence and murder). If you say “unauthorised copying” instead of using the music industry’s propaganda term then maybe nuance is easier to see.
