Yes, they still want to, but this was a specific attempt. :-D

Cory was talking about years ago. The FSF helped prevent it, but this is the kind of meetings Microsoft is willing to have to lock down systems. I think the rest of the world is now aware of US Big Tech and hopefully will steer clear. But yeah, we almost were in deep trouble.
We are still in big trouble.
We didn’t dodge the bullet, we just got shot.
The AI stuff has real economic implications for sure, but it can’t last. IMO anyway. I just try to stay focused on fostering the fediverse and staying away from all of that other crap. I think small local communities for social web is the real winner for us.

On windows, you pay to get their “windows signature” so your app can be installed. Right now they just tell you not to trust that app that isn’t signed, next they will tell you “No!”
Idk. How are they going to enforce age verification? Probably can’t. Doesn’t stop them from trying.
Every kitchen knife is a weapon.
You can make a law that you’re only allowed to modify your devices under certain condition.
This law doesn’t even need to be uniformly enforced. See the drug market. Millions of people do drugs even though it’s illegal. This provides a convenient way to oppress and silence people.
Apple, Microsoft, and Google account for roughly 95% of all human user systems.

I think it kinda doesn’t matter. If they can catch 95% of all users, that’s pretty close to total victory. Well more than enough to shut out access from Linux systems for most things without causing public backlash.
Amen.
My work computer right now is a fucking glorified email machine. So you now want companies to subscribe to an OS. No thanks I’ll take my linux machine and be satisfied
If your Linux isn’t certified, you will break the law by connecting it to the internet.
ಠ_ಠ what are you a cop?
