I wish Lennart Poettering a very go-drink-bleach-immediately.
I don't want you shoehorning your disregard for the Unix philosophy into every major distro as an excuse to shove your bloated ass flatpaks up my unlubed asshole.

@maid at this point what is the reason to not buy a macbook if the same linux people who were like "WE'RE GONNA KICK MICROSOFTS ASS" and "FREE ASSANGE" and "AARON SWARTZ DID NOTHING WRONG" will roll over under pressure?

@sendpaws any remaining sense of personal dignity
@maid idk man, all the unix boomers back in the day who wanked off to the idea that a RISC/UNIX box would finally be mainstream were busting hot loads when the M1 hit.
SGI, Sun, IBM, HP, and DEC couldn't do it...
@prettygood @maid ARM is still kosher
@prettygood
Given the nature of modern battery-driven computing, ARM makes sense for most non-intensive cases and even many of those. But the company is still gay

@newt @sendpaws @maid It will likely be a dbus service. There's already an FDO draft for one and someone already made a Python implementation. Which means you'll have to patch it out in every app that would use that service. I doubt they'll integrate it to some DE user management when in the app it will be something as simple as:
KF6::UserAge::get()Or patch out KF, I'm dumb.
@phnt@fluffytail.org @i@declin.eu @sendpaws@mitra.pawslut.party @maid@shitposter.world @newt@stereophonic.space yw, that code is mostly just me exploring the suckass that is dbus tho. it's archetectually kinda pointless, which is why it's a great choice for checkbox compliance.
@feld@friedcheese.us @i@declin.eu @phnt@fluffytail.org @sendpaws@mitra.pawslut.party @maid@shitposter.world @newt@stereophonic.space because the underlying problem itself is retarded

> I very much doubt Linux will ever have a way to verify the date
-Computer have hardware level DRM, ME/PSP/TrustZones etc...
-Computer won't start if the OS isn't signed by a trust party you don't control.
-Computer requires mandatory internet connection to boot.
-No more local accounts, online only.
-Your account is linked to your irl ID.
-You can't browser common websites/.gov site as web DRM will check if your OS is signed.
This is already planned as it's progressively enforced more and more.
-Hardware is already full of DRM
-MS has mandatory online account
-Computer phones furthered this behavior via "stores"/repositories.
-Web DRM is slowly being used, youtube tries so often to push it on various part of the population, yandex too, various websites in general
-Current laws are being pushed and code is being integrated for ID/age check.

@newt @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage they keep blocking bypasses and want to make it impossible, not even Apple does this yet.
@sendpaws @maid @mangeurdenuage @newt Domain join bypass still works and removing it would make corporate mad.
@sendpaws @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage what do you mean "keep blocking"? Did Steve Ballmer steal your rig while wearing a sweaty thong and shouting "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS!!"? Because you can totally use an older working ISO for an enterprise Windows version and block it from ever accessing MS servers.
@newt @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage I can also use Windows 98 for the NEC PC-9801 eternally; but to even browse the internet you need to do a lot of crazy shit to the point of "just using a Chromium proxy" because of the bloated web, everything needing SSL post-Snowden, etc.
You're kind of limited when you use an older Windows version as time goes on.
@sendpaws @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage by older I mean the last year version, not the last millennium's.
@newt @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage Apple music, a bunch of games, Adobe software, and Visual Studio will ask you to update your windows to the latest version if you try to run some old ass LTSC. Ditto with some anti-cheats.

@sendpaws @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage soooo... the price of this is being able to avoid some retarded software? Seems like a free bonus.
Also, there probably are patched versions for at least MSVS. But hey, the world isn't perfect.

@newt @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage why not just use Linux then? that's the same thing Linux users say when you mention stuff that doesn't run there.
@sendpaws @phnt @maid @mangeurdenuage i dunno, man. I only claimed it was entirely possible to use Windows without an online account.
@newt @phnt @sendpaws @maid @mangeurdenuage how long until Microsoft completely removes offline accounts for home versions of windows?
@hj @sendpaws @maid @mangeurdenuage @newt That has already happened officially with the Home version. You can still bypass it, but there's no official bypass like with Pro.
@mangeurdenuage @phnt @sendpaws @maid soooo... am I some kind of a majestic super human for the sole reason of being able to comprehend a README file and run a bunch of scripts that fix this issue? Wow thanks! I knew I was special!
@mangeurdenuage @phnt @sendpaws @maid i think you are mistaken. Moreover, this condescending attitude that many nerds exhibit is what really stops people from learning.
@newt @phnt @sendpaws @mangeurdenuage the future is secured by rigid gatekeeping, some people shouldn't learn
You're still using Windows, you have not fixed the problem if you are still allowing a proprietary Microsoft program to control your computer. "Bypassing" the account requirement does not actually bypass jack shit and this is not an excuse.

@bonkmaykr @newt @sendpaws @maid @mangeurdenuage And getting normies into the Linux world will be a disaster. Look already how in the name of "user friendliness", developers destroyed things that worked fine for years. Things literally worked better 10 years ago when almost nobody cares about "user friendliness".
@phnt @bonkmaykr @maid @mangeurdenuage @newt It's also because the devs are all on the corposhit payroll too and the nerds who were around back in the day are dead or compromised.
@sendpaws @bonkmaykr @maid @mangeurdenuage @newt They are usually neither of the two. They just became fed up with the ebussy clones. Imagine what Keith Packard has to think when X has been declared fascist and intentionally killed. The devs were witchhunted away. They either went to develop BSDs, the last remaining place with sanity, or went to Macs, as you usually would.

It's only an issue if you expect people to be left alone and do it themselves, they can't, microslop knows that, that's why they act as a pseudo proxy technician but they don't get anything fixed.
The only proper way is to manage users is to administrate their computer like a computer park. More flexible of course. And you get paid for that and of course you also took into account the cost of developing your tools into that.

I do agree, but that is a future that is never happening.
