End-to-End Encryption (E2E) is Dead

This is definitely bad news.

Re: End-to-End Encryption (E2E) is Dead

This is definitely bad news.

For people running proprietary black-box systems... Which is, at least for the most part, not us.

Video summary: Windows bad, Apple bad, Google bad, AI bad, everyone and their dog wants endpoint control and uses FUD and "think of the children" to get it.
IOW, corporate big-tech abuses their power and their users, and normies just don't care because herd-mentality and convenience. Same old, same old. *yawn*

All this really does is incentivise me to avoid buying SNS hardware (instead donating further to the FSF), and keep a weather eye on FreeBSD and OpenRISC in preparation for the day GNU/Linux finally falls to Microsoft EEE and the horde of clueless ex-windows users pushing non-FOSS software and non-FOSS attitudes.

Just curious...why FreeBSD instead of OpenBSD? No long answers needed...just want to know your basic thoughts.

No real reason, mostly just more familiarity.
For a security-focused appliance (e.g. router / server etc) I'd probably pick OpenBSD, but last time I played with the desktop usecase FreeBSD had better hardware support and was easier to get the software I wanted installed.

Okay. Thanks.

I guess I've been lucky. I've had better luck with OpenBSD on a desktop than FreeBSD.

I suppose it's all a hardware issue.

Im not up to speed on my acronym's, what are these?

As long as there are those who maintain non systemd FOSS linux distros, then hopefully we wont have to put up with non FOSS software and attitudes.

Shiny New Shit
Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

As for FOSS and systemd... systemd is FOSS, and while I don't particularly agree with the design or the attitude of the designer(s), that's not really what I was referring to.
