Slop CEO says what?

The Developer ID certificate is the digital signature macOS uses to verify legitimate software. The certificate that Logitech allowed to lapse was being used to secure inter-process communications, which resulted in the software not being able to start successfully, in some cases leading to an endless boot loop.

This is 100% on Apple users for letting a company decide what their computer can and can’t run. And then brag about its security like it has some super special zero trust architecture and is not just a walled garden with a single point of failure dependent on opaque decision making criteria for what code should be “allowed” to run on the system.

Key and signature based security model does not prove if it’s safe, it proves if it’s approved. They’re not the same.

Macs don’t get malware. Unless it’s malware Apple approves, those are called apps.

“Oh no not a precious European colony! We already annexed them fair and square! Go annex Venezuela or something.”

brings the dream of endless energy even closer

Yeah that’s not “close” until we figure out how to do fusion with regular hydrogen, you know, like the sun. When your fusion requires unstable and/or extremely rare isotopes it’s not even going to be viable compared to fission, let alone solving our energy problem.

Good point. Thanks comrade.

This is a physics question. But the current laws of physics do not allow for going backwards in time, certainly no way for anything to interact with a past version of itself, so even if, IF it was possible under some future model that will replace the current one, there’s no way to predict what would happen with the current model because the current model says it doesn’t happen.

It’s like asking pre-Copernicus physics to calculate the movement of different star systems around a galaxy.

Don’t wanna be the kind of person who says “yet you live in jsociety”

Yet you chose to be that kind of person.

Ah so the US will be even more of a common enemy.

Dear American libs: Think about what you’ve been saying about Russians and please start saying all of those about yourselves. Think about how much you wished every Russian to suffer and it’s only fair to wish the exact same amount for yourself.

Remember how little you were willing to distinguish between the people and the government and I better not see you give any more leeway to your own country.

I don’t want to hear any “but i don’t support it” bullshit out of you after the vitriol you spewed about the Russian ethnicity and culture using the Ukraine war as your cover while getting all high and mighty about not being racist. You deserve as much empathy and sympathy as you give to others.

And don’t forget to carry seeds in your pockets so useful things grow out of you when you die :)

Talk is cheap. No brownie points until something actually changes.

Ah fuck he’s going to drag the other NATO countries into this isn’t he.

Seriously I hate the holier than thou “we['re the only ones that] care about cultural and racial rights” attitude the West has almost as much I hate the actual racism and cultural erasure that goes on here. I hate how people will bend over backwards twisting every fact and theory to justify this as “not about anti-Russian racism” and then in the very next breath twist everything the other way to justify how any amount of criticism of Israel’s genocide is “antisemitic.”

The “people” vs “government” dichotomy people have is also infuriating. Any Westerner when confronted about the West’s atrocities will instinctively say “oh but that’s my GOVERNMENT that’s like that, I’m just little old John Nobody who didn’t get to choose the society I was born into or what the elite of my country does, I don’t like it either.” Which could be a valid argument if they didn’t then go “oh those Russians are all Asiatic orcs, every single one of them personally wants to kill every Ukrainian so punishing average Russians is absolutely the way to punish Putin’s war.”

They consider incompatible with their values to mandate foreign actors indentify as such.

Lol so they’re so incompetent they can’t look past “does this guy speak Russian?” In their foreign actor counterintelligence?

This is cartoon level shit, like something you’d see from American Dad. Also they’re in for a real surprise when they learn about modern pre Caesar espionage tactics talking about choosing actors fluent in the language of your target.

Silver lining I guess

I think having a TPM enables a number of worthwhile security features.

But most of those security features place the TPM at the root of trust, something that is SEVERELY undermined by the fact that it is not open source, meaning it is inherently untrustworthy.

Is it not the one chip we should demand and accept nothing less than complete openness in its implementation and complete control by the person who owns the device? I also think the types of protections it grants in theory are very good, but the fact that it’s proprietary means it’s terrible at actually granting you those protections.

Reside: Vancouver. Biased because I mostly grew up here and am lucky enough to still live here but I really do think it’s something special.

Vacation: Probably Qing Huang Dao. Gorgeous Chinese beach city that I’ve only ever been to twice in my childhood, but it’s also really nostalgic for that reason.

Party (hardest one for me because I don’t party): Wanted to say New York or Vegas because nothing in Canada really compares to those, but with current events and my skin colour I’m going with Toronto instead. Like to not end up at a concentration camp while partying, but more generally because I know the laws of my own country better than somewhere else which I feel is a benefit if you want to party.

Then that’s not Lemmy. That’s Voat or any of the other first wave Reddit alternatives.

Not trying to say you don’t belong here, but that the cross reference stuff are the foundational principles Lemmy is built on.
