@josh @pid_eins I recall seeing a Microsoft advocate saying sending asking the lines of "Imagine if banks required Pluton remote attestation, so they can be sure you're not infected by malware." And my reaction was, "what a nightmare that would be!"

@warthog9 Huh There are some interesting ones there, though being remote is rather a constraint too.

@kawa Depends entirely on whether it was on before you pushed it.

@killyourfm Too bad it's Windows only. Maybe they'll improve Proton or their code.

@danderson I wonder if there's a repo of the .inf files for them.

@rene_mobile Really, the root problem here is monoculture of proprietary software. Bugs happen, but the way a bug becomes a worldwide catastrophe is having the bug triggered worldwide.

Holy cats....

just noticed that any tweet to American Airlines gets spammed with hordes of bots pretending to be American support.

[Question] If you were buying a well-supported, software-developer #Linux laptop for work, paid for by the company, either in the UK or the USA, what would you buy?

@Linux_in_a_Bit @popey @system76 is not "a Clevo rebrand." Clevo is their ODM. System76 works with Clevo to design a system, but Clevo keeps the rights to ship the hardware themselves.
