The best part about the London mayoral election? That the massively racist party (Britain First) are so unpopular that they were beaten by a man with a bin on his head (Count Binface).

Imagine how it would look like if they took their approach to Linux.

No installing your own kernels, that's naughty!

What, you're telling me you need that module for a piece of hardware you use?

Nobody should need a stamp of approval from a big tech company to have their system considered "trusted"

I wish more people would understand kernel-level anti-cheats are fundamentally incompatible with computing freedom, they're not just bad for privacy, that can be true of anything that is allowed to run as admin too.

But look at the language the developers of these things are using, they're all in on the platform security/trusted computing crap, they want hard attestation of your boot environment. And the reason they don't want to support Linux? They can't verify the kernel and all its modules, they especially can't do that across distros.

In the name of fighting cheaters they're willing to nuke all compatibility tools, and kill the chance of gaming on other operating systems taking off. And then they will complain about it not having enough market share to matter, which they partly contributed to.

They're willing to use the technology that treats the owner as the enemy on their own system and allows them to restrict their software choices to an approved set.

This is your periodic reminder that nothing the Chrome team or anyone at Google says about "loving the web" or "caring about the web" matters at all, because nobody at Google tests anything on any browser but Chrome.

The timing of this ended up beig accidentally perfect because I get to say "happy hatchday to me 🥳"

@avon_deer Ahh but are they actually docking stations or are they port replicators?

Fantastic pic by Digger the Fox (Bluesky, Twitter) of the Cyberwuff. Thank you so much!

@avon_deer I’d assumed that all the votes had been counted but I just saw that there’s still some to go!

@PsyChuan Oh gosh now I’m thinking about BRIO wooden trains from when I was very young

Being obsessed with weird things is awesome. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
