@noodles IMHO these kinds of systems have no place in a democratic society.

There is a real chance that in 5-10 years, there will be laptops and smartphones running open processors and operating systems with UX and and an OS comparable or better than the proprietary equivalent, but which are effectively useless to the average consumer because it is cryptographically impossible to use them for anything due to remote attestation proliferating more and more

https://github.com/robinostlund/homeassistant-volkswagencarnet/issues/967

There needs to be a law that makes remote attestation - no matter who provides the root certificates, Google/Apple/GrapheneOS - illegal. There is only one use for this technology right now, and it is to prevent people from doing what they want to do with the devices they own, while also making interoperability cryptographically impossible. This is anti-competitive and should simply be illegal.

We were a bit too busy at last weekends Phosh contributors meeting to keep you fully informed here, in the #fediverse, sorry for that.

Here's a look back at what happened: https://ev.phosh.mobi/blog/pcm26-bits/

Thanks to @ev for organizing the event! 🙇‍♂️

Hey, GNOME people... or Fedora people, whoever did that, the message is for you both: I understand Windows people have no idea what middle-click paste is for, or what purpose does it satisfy, but it's incredibly (for you) very useful for all those who know about it and use it daily, several, several times. So changing that parameter to off by default on an upgrade... That's no Good™ Not angry, it's just very annoying. I thought the mousepad was broken until it failed with the mouse too. kthnxby

@trini Being always suspicious is not necessarily good, don't take grumpy me as an example :), but in principle I agree that AI slop world is difficult for open source maintainers.
And in that particular case, sending a patch with a bunch of AI-generated assembly is moderately easy, but reviewing it by a human much more effort consuming. That disproportion sucks.

It's actually a LibreM 5 running PureOS but with the bare bones OS and Guix Home layered on top for everything else... so not Guix as the whole distro (yet)!

Yes, I met a DIY FOSS Cyborg who lives in Emacs and Guix full-time. And YOU TOO can live such a life, if you dare!
