@GossiTheDog Obviously this is nothing new, as #Microsoft's #CryptoAPI is so #backdoored that it's basically #Govware.

• Whoever believed #CensorBoot & #BitLocker ever were secure needs to be banned from doing #IT, because it never has been and that was oretty obvious.

  • Cuz #CloudAct exists for quite a while, and not having exclusive #SelfCustody means it violates #KerckhoffsPrinciple.

I'll be collecting apologies once the next #ToldYaSo hits.

• My money is on @signalapp / #Signal cuz @Mer__edith won't face lifetime in jail for non-paying users - not even paid VPNs would do that!

@ann3nova sadly this is nothing new.

The entire #CryptoAPI of #Windows is #backdoored for decades and #CensorBoot merely exists to prevent #Linux adoption and #DualBoot from working!

@Xeniax OFC #CensorBoot never was about #Security and #Microsoft having #Govware - #Backdoors in their #CryptoAPI is nothing new.

• Just glad to have them admit publicly that they don't give a fuck about #Windows #security or #orivacy!

If this doesn't disqualify Windows & Microsoft in general then those who made that decision should be fired.

• Simply because there's no legitimate reason for them to have this kind of #Backdoor!

The only secure #encryption is #FLOSS with #SelfCustody of all the keys…

• And Windows is just #malware… #BitLocker having a #GoldenKey is just yet another piece of evidence after #GoldenKeyBoot...

@tanja it's called #CensorBoot!

@mook #facehoof

I mean you can continue and try to paint me as an imaginary enemy of that helps you (and you don't feel like busy enough with real problems) but you're angry at the wrong people & for the wrong reasons.

• Be angry at the fact that Xorg & SysVinit refused to change when they could've done so.

• Be angry at Hardware Manufacturers for deprecating support!

Realize that shit's developing and that #Linux doesn't decide to randomly kill millions of devices with #CensorBoot like #Microsoft with #Windows11…

• If it was my decision we'd still have #i386 mainline support distros, but that ship has sailed…

@Lydie I hope not ib terms of tight ibtegration, but I see the problem:

• Too tight bs…

My guess at that point will be that any performance losses due to lack of optimizations will be outweight by processing speed increases.

• Cuz that's what happens today anyway…

We'd rather see issues with #Enshittification due to #Malware like "#ClientSideAnticheat" or #AlwaysOnlineDRM, becauce *"#Client-side #Anticheat" and #CensorBoot-intertwined #DRM is the only thing that prevents the deserved 100% win of #Linux for #Gaming!

@MsMerope @ai6yr Personally, I think #Microaoft should be sued for the #EnvoirmentalDamages due to them pushing #ReducedLifecycle with #CensorBoot & #Windows11!

Would've been funnier if #ScammerPayback used like #VeraCrypt but that doesn't work well with #CensorBoot!

@paulasadoorian you wrote #CensorBoot wrong which by #Microsoft's own admission isn't #secure at all…

@action_jay IMHO #ReducedLifecylce and the #PlannedObsolescence by #Miceosoft shovong #CensorBoot down thrats should be outlawed and prosecuted as #EnvoirmentalCrime!

• This is actually worth a "Green Notice" (Request for Evidence re: Envoirmental Crime)…

@socketwench darn…

Cuz I see a shitload of freshly surplus'd machines that won't work with #CensorBoot (#Windows11) for not much money at my favorite #refurbishers...

Like some sub-€200 machines with decent specs.

For those who didn't remember: "#SecureBoot" is a #scam by #Microsoft to shove their #CensorBoot infrastructure into systems and thus prevent #Linux from rightfully taking over #Desktop|s:

• Why else did they publicly admit that it's insecure to the point that they didn't bother to use it on the #XboxOne and #XboxSeries / #XboxSeriesS / #XboxSeriesX ?

@t3n nicht wirklich ungewiss:

#BestCase: Leute lassen sich nicht von #Microsoft verarschen, werweigern sivh #CensorBoot und schauen uaf https://endof10.org nach Alternativen.

Wacheinlichstes Szenario: Tausende Tonnen 100% vermeidbarer #eWaste wird generiert aber die allermeisten System kommen billig in den Gebrauchtmarkt.

#WorstCase: Tausende Tonnen 100% vermeidbarer #eWaste wird generiert!

@StarkRG I agree and I do the same.

• It's just gotten so bad that I know companies are literally willing to pay #IdiotTax and trash perfectly fine hardware because #Govware like #Windows11 can't do #CensorBoot and/or 8 GB RAM are not enough if you want to use more than 2 messengers at the time and still have like a ticketing system, wiki, softphone and eMail client open (aka. #TechSupport)…

@LaF0rge @sysmocom granted, I do trust the GSMA more than Beijing, but that's more due to the fact that conflicting desires if GSMA members tend to be harder to steer.

• Similarly GAFAMs conflicting ideas prevented them from enshittifying Linux.

Still, I think that end users and device integrators should have full control over the certificates and root of trust, including the ability to add alternative Root-CAs and even removing GSMA's Root-CA (similar to how "Secure Boot" should've been done instead of #CensorBoot!)

• Whether it would be a wise decision to yeet the GSMA cert is a different story, but given what I know in terms of "security" I'd certainly not trust #Bundesdruckerei and it's subsidiaries to be competent.

Certainly being able to exercise full control would make a lot of #osmocom's development easier.

@franky @ulrichkelber @kontrollierterWahnwitz es heißt #CensorBoot, denn #GoldenKeyBoot macht "#SecureBoot" unfixable unsicher!

@mrgrumpymonkey it is.

One can repartition Windows installations on the fly whilst running (and even then there are tools like #Wubi that made it easy to setup #dualboot #Linux & #Windows.

• ISOLINUX does allow for "load image into RAM and boot" setups. I literally use that on @OS1337 because no system that can boot it will have > 16 MB RAM anyway ( 8 MB is the hard limit for bare linux kernel) so merely making Windows' bootloader to chainload #isolinux to load that image in RAM and yeet it isn't out of the question.

I just have neither a #Windows machine nor time and spoons to make such a tool, much less to basically create even said #ProofOfConcept "#Malware"…

• But thanks to #GoldenKeyBoot, #CensorBoot is unfixably insecure!

@mrgrumpymonkey better even if you can build a #malware that automagically installs #Linux over a #CensorBoot'ed #Windows11!

@Cheatha nodds in agreement

Keep the envoirment safe, ditch #CensorBoot & #Windows11!

https://enof10.org

@itsfoss nodds in agreement the amount of #eWaste #Microsoft creates is s absurd, it'll make hee #EU converting to #IEC60906_1 look like envoirmentally responsible by comparison.

• OFC @EUCommission didn't do that citing 700.000t of #eWaste as argument against it.

I wounder how many millions of PCs get replaced for no good reason because Microsofts's new #Govware requires #CensorBoot!
