We know from systemd that these people are willing to use corporate resources to snuff out grassroots alternatives to grow their market share, and we know from the sorry state of boot chains on basically every device that isn’t x86 UEFI that corporations are salivating at the idea of implementing trusted computing at the expense of user freedoms, and we know know from the above quotes that the best assurance the founders of this companies have is “we just provide the tools, it’s up to the corporations to decide how to use it, teehee!” The only mystery here is people like you here who see all this and think “surely things will go different this time. these are good boys”.

RedHat putting their thumb on the scale providing full time engineers on this project to gain market share and become the defacto standard that they control doesn’t sound like a problem? How do you feel about what chromium is doing to the web?
Microsoft is the only player “fucking that up” right. And the other corporations have some sort of god-given goodness to them that make it impossible for them to follow suit?
Nobody but (half of the entire consumer device market) use it in the way described, and this company comes in offering tools to do the same thing to the other half, and you don’t see the problem?
Software that these people are developing.
I’m wary of the people that provide turn key solutions to deploy it at scale
And if the user (that’s what we call the person who owns the device, if you don’t know much about these things) doesn’t want it?
