       @revengeday @jadedtwin Blessed are the lo-fi, who process but can not cook. The downtrodden and lost, who feed us our daily signal. To glitch in their name, gender irregarded whether serial or parallel. We sing the pain of the justice karmic. And to always keep the byte order in parity, the error codes corrected, and the vengeance deserved. 🤘 EOF(Sorry for the edits... Felt a need to expand this.)

       @hyc @codemonkeymike Especially "newer is not always better".  ("Almost Human" was such a great TV Show.)Windows 11's clarion call back in 2021 was "hardware vulnerabilities have changed the game."  Here in 2026, AI backed exploits are impacting cybersecurity in a manner that resembles the rein of Caligula. Now consider the quantum computing threat that almost no one is talking about thanks to AI. This is essentially a promise of remaking encryption from the ground up... Making everything a degree harder and slower online for all. No hardware choices are reasonably going to stop those issues.  Then throw in RAMpocalypse: Prices skyrocketing on storage and RAM, but not just RAM, CPU shortages are next.  AI datacenters are eating up the consumer supply, threatening to destroy the entire tech market for computers below $500 (I'd argue $1,000 with Trump in office)... so it's all a wash anyway.TL;DR: When the decision is "have a laptop that isn't perfect, or have nothing at all", fuck it.  Keep going with Linux.

       @lynnesbian This appears to be the web attestation format that was brought to light and shot down before Trump took office.  Here it is again, challenging users not to only identify themselves, but "prove your device is worthy of accessing our data. Only authentic Android and iPhones may roam here."Same shit, different banner.

       @lynnesbian @farshidhakimy The Web Attestation stuff started off with "it's up to sites to determine what security" so the hardline "Android and iOS only" setting may not initially be default.But as people get used to these checks, not hard to guess Google will make new sites use harsher defaults before eventually making the hardnose option the only one in the future in the name of "security."

       @vwestlife Antenna Man, what the hell, man?  I thought he was better than this.

       @eff Saw this coming. EFF has been on Big Tech's side for every issue except surveillance capitalism and censorship.Well, this sucks. Thanks for siding with fascism, EFF.  I'd suggest abandoning Open Source Software as a cause of yours as well as the Creative Commons, because if AI is going to have your backing, you can't support either of those. (You have lawyers, you should know why.)(Edit: this was me chiming in, nothing more. I'm muting this thread.)
