- Comment on Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech 6 hours ago:
TPM is a secure part, a cryptoprocessor with some memory, isolated from everything else, very basically.
It stores keys and other sensitive data, like your “hello windows pin”… Or any other PIN if you want…
This secure “box” can also be used for DRM by using the secure nature of the TPM to store the keys, or to encrypt the harddisk of your work laptop. Multiple of uses really. It’s kind of like all piece of technology, it seems like.
At that point, it’s like you are saying that encryption is bad because it can be used for DRM or validate if a piece of software is valid or not.
The TPM by itself isn’t bad or related to privacy invasion. Nor the internet or a browser is only used to spy on you.
There is a limit to the conspiracy…
- Comment on Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech 15 hours ago:
You are arguing for the sake of arguing…
TPM has nothing to do with any privacy invasion, AI, or anything bad really. It was conceived by a computer industry consortium called Trusted Computing Group (TCG). It evolved into TPM Main Specification Version 1.2 which was standardized by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Advancement in technology will always happen, and if your prose is to stop progress, you are up by your own by your own choice. Your argument about TPM is moot.
Quite a lot if banking apps are compatible. If your banking app doesn’t work, use the jail/sandbox compatible mode.
The fact that Linux has 2, 3, 4, 64467% has nothing to do with what is available at your disposal. Strawman fallacy here.
No one talked about hosting your own email server, there are alternative to the fucker-corps with privacy in mind.
You, my friend, are already defeated, but rest assured there are a ton of us still on our feet.

Nothing I can do to resist?
Microsoft is shoving this copilot in all its products? Alright, Linux and open source it is.
Google is bugging with its spyware? Well, I only use a Pixel phone, and ironically, its the best phone to put GrapheneOS on it.
Gmail? I don’t remember when I opened mine the last time…
All what’s really remaining right now is a good YouTube alternative.
- Comment on Google Play’s latest security change may break many Android apps for some power users. The Play Integrity API uses hardware-backed signals that are trickier for rooted devices and custom ROMs to pass. 1 day ago:
If you don’t need any Google malware, you aren’t at risk.
GrapheneOS comes without them by default.
- Comment on Developer Builds Tool That Scrapes YouTube Comments, Uses AI to Predict Where Users Live 2 days ago:
YouTube-Tools also appears to be a violation of YouTube’s privacy policies, and raises questions about what YouTube is doing to stop the scraping and repurposing of peoples’ data like this. “Public search engines may scrape data only in accordance with YouTube’s robots.txt file or with YouTube’s prior written permission,” it says.
Yeah right Google, scrape people at will, scrape artists copyrighted material without approbations or repercussions, and you dare to tell us to obey your little concerns…
Fuck off will ya

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
Imagine that, Windows 11 can remember everything you did in the past 3 months, it’s making sure that you didn’t forget about Office 365, Xbox Live subscriptions, and about Edge, the browser embedded deeply in the OS…
Sometimes, for your convenience, it will put Edge as the default, but you totally can change it back to what it was!
Are you sure you don’t want to switch? You’re missing a lot there…
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 1 month ago:
Or, you know, they could make the client portable, like so many software…
A Linux or Mac client doesn’t need to be a different thing than a Windows client.
- Comment on Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt Gameplay Trailer 1 month ago:
It’s not what I am talking about.
First, the Twitch drop isn’t an anvil but a guillotine, and it was about the new warrior ascendency…
- Comment on Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt Gameplay Trailer 2 months ago:
I watched a video of the new warrior ascendency “blacksmith”.
I lost it when the character spawned an anvil out of no where on the battlefield, and started to smash his weapon to buff it with explosive hits…
Like really? That’s what they come up for “charging” your attack? That looks ridiculous and immersion breaking in my opinion.
Anyway… As a poe1 fan, I feel sad when I see what they are doing with their second game.
I am all-in to make it more “soul like”, but there is a clash between having significant fights while having hordes of mobs.
The slowness is becoming tedious very fast and, add on the top that, the enormous size of the maps, the game is becoming an unpleasant chore.
I never thought I would one day say that I am more excited about the new Last Epoch season…

Let’s be honest; they are all going out drinking together while planning on their leagues so they don’t overlap.
No… the d4 team isn’t going out with them…
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Devs Reveal The Game Is Releasing Earlier Than Expected 5 months ago:
I hope it’s going to be done… We have seen our share of “releases” in pathetic and unfinished states.
Anyone remember City Skylines 2? It’s still unplayable - that killed the franchise.
- Comment on Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content 6 months ago:
I am not a boomer, but I am starting to be an old fart myself.
Guess what the older generations said about video games back then? Satanic, create violence, hyper sexualization…
And at the end of the day, we didn’t end up as violent atheists watching porn on a portable device…
(For the people wondering, this post is a joke)

Linux is in a weird spot, there is a valley you must not be in with it.
If you are a non-technical person who needs only a browser and solitaire, it’s perfect.
If you are a highly technical person, it’s great.
If you’re just in between, you are fucked.

My bullshitometer is ringing.
It’s easy to say you wanted xyz, bbuuttt the evil Microsoft arrived and it’s all its fault now.
Look, those microtransactions were there from the beginning, before Microsoft bought Blizzard. Nothing changed since, not before, not after the acquisition.
Cut the crap already.
- Comment on Massive generational gap: Gen Z flocks to multiplayer, while 55+ sticks to single-player 7 months ago:
My old ass can’t compete in multiplayer games anymore.
Now I enjoy my slow pace / turn-based games when I want to relax.
It makes sense to me the older we get, the less time we spend gaming.
If I have to trade a solid 8 hours of sleep or play 1 hour or 2, the bed is winning.
