So... really no. The overall spirit of the GPLv3 text is that the license demands preservation of the ability of an end user to modify and run the software they receive, see all the discussion at the time it was being drafted about "TiVoization". It does not specifically speak to encryption and signatures being used by the loader environment, but it's absolutely reasonable to interpret it that way.

If I buy a laptop from Lenovo, and it uses a signed GPLv3 bootloader, and I want to modify and run a new version of that bootloader, I'm prevented by the lack of a signature. That action is exactly what the license demands Lenovo permit.

Now, obviously this collides badly with the security requirements of the system. So it's likewise totally reasonable to imagine a court flipping the other way and refusing to literally enforce the GPLv3 because of the potential damage to the market. But if that happens, then what gives Lenovo any right to ship that GPLv3 software at all? Now they're subject to the bootloader authors demanding they stop shipment of the infringing product.

No, the permissively-licensed shim compromise was the right choice.
Sure, the limb is external. But the experience "I don't want to move" is not wrong because the limb is actually missing, it is wrong because I did actually want to move. "I" did the exact same thing as every time I try to move (i.e. the brain sent the exact same signals to the limb).

Great to see a fellow lover of the sport here on HN.

In Figure Skating, HNers should also be aware of the issues surrounding the current sport of figure skating:

1) Women's Free Skate is the marquee event in the winter Olympics. Not other event comes close in the ratings, and therefore, the ad buys.

2) Russia. Figure skating, and especially women's skating, is completely jumbled up by the interference of Russia. To sum up a very complex topic (poorly), women's figure skating currently has a strange and deep relationship with Russia's ruling elite and has had one for a few decades. That leads to many scandals and a lot of bribing of officials. It's still playing out from the 2022 Olympics. The US team still has not gotten their medals from the team event.

If you've not seen the end of the 2022 women's free skate, do yourself a favor and watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgiuo4lHFt4 . The meltdowns here are just so emblematic of everything that Russia is today and the travesty of the Ukraine war. The drama leading into this event and the drama coming out of it are much better than any reality TV show.

3) Declining interest. The laws of physics are not kind to figure skaters. The push for quads is only leading to the push for qunits and hexes. The effort required to advance the sport is going to be larger than time allows for training. At which point, probably sometime around the 2050 Olympics, the sport will be 'solved'. Combine this with the explosion of new sports full of frontiers to be broken, and figure skating will no longer be the marquee event. Training so intensely for such meager gains is going to be a hard sell to the boys and girls that are to be the medal winners.
I feel like saying that one is in a sense "conscious" while dreaming..? Though this use of "conscious" seems to conflict with another use which has "asleep" as a primary example of "not conscious"...

I guess maybe this calls for another word. Not sure what word is best.
I would say to you that aren’t those very regulators to which you refer doing their very best to weaken the users ability to maintain privacy and not be snooped on? I don’t know about the EU but here in the U.S. there are always pushes afoot to break users control of encryption and other protections.
Sadly I bet they will get away with it. Apple is very good at this sort of thing.

It's not like these companies are trying to steal your private data. They just don't see working through legal compliance as worth the squeeze — especially when they are young and don't have the resources to comply properly.

Having a $100k bond to get a license to provide professional services is pretty common in other industries.
As an example: Some EU government could force people to turn on side-loading to install an app that's needed if you want to access public services. The app could bypass your phone's privacy protections, and feed the data back to the local government.

In the US, if Android side-loading were more common, we'd already have this, except that companies would require it.

In the EU, they'd probably crack down on companies that tried to do this. However, although it's technically illegal for governments to do such things, apparently most governments routinely break the anti-mass-surveillance laws.

On iOS, Apple has banned many bad actors for such shenanigans (although they still allow spyware from large companies like meta and google).

The "perfectly fine game store built into Mac" wouldn't even accept many of the games currently available on Steam. Anything with the "Adult Only" rating would just be outright rejected.

Obviously you also wouldn't be able to install the games you bought on there on any device that didn't have an Apple logo. Sharing the same game library between Windows, macOS and Linux? Nope, buy them again.

You might also have to kiss goodbye to cloud saves. The macOS App Store version of Resident Evil 4 doesn't support cloud saves between macOS and iOS devices whereas the Steam version has cloud saves.

And this is the state of Apple's game store when they are facing competition.
If I wasn't a gamer I wouldn't have a PC. I mean technically I would still have a Mac but much of what I use on my Mac is through the Mac App Store.

The vast majority of my general computing happens on my phone or tablet. My PC and Mac while technically general computing devices, are not in practice anymore and I would wager that is true for most people.

You should read up on the evolution of business regulations in the XIX and XX century.

Well, the split would be explosive.
> The DMA introduces zero risk

You need to think about this more carefully: there absolutely is an increase in risk by allowing other parties to run native code on your devices. This guarantees that people will be socially engineered into installing malware, intrusive vendors like Facebook will try to force users to add their stores to bypass privacy restrictions, and employers/schools/etc. will try to force their users to use their spyware for similar reasons.

Now, a not unreasonable position is that this is acceptable but that should be an honest discussion starting with accepting the risk so you can gauge whether it’s a reasonable trade off or whether there are other mitigations. For example, notarization is a useful way for making it harder to install code on someone’s device which the OS vendor cannot see if it’s later associated with malware or which cannot be traced back to a source developer. The next time someone is breached, it’s useful to be able to tell whether the Firefox.app they have installed is an official Mozilla build or pretending to be one.

Wow that’s huge. I hope this makes it way into proton. It’s getting to the point where windows is going to be mostly irrelevant for gaming, and ideally, for everything!

Mac is a better experience for every single thing other than gaming (that may change soon too). My steam deck is an amazing mobile gaming device. I’m hoping one day I can actually just steamos on my gaming pc and dump my last vestigial windows install.
Numerics code is annoying to maintain, and most of us have code bases that already use mkl. Intels compilers make it easy and quick to use, whereas openblas was always a headache in my experience. Plus amd hardware only became competitive in the past few years, so it hasn't mattered.

Tiktok is additional to Youtube, it doesn't replace it. Teens are using both TikTok and Youtube. They are different formats.

Youtube Shorts is there especially because it's a different market that they want to capture.

> Wat. Where are you getting this? Spotify has better churn statistics than YouTube.

Unless you live in the few countries where YouTube has a competitor, they have a 100% market share on this kind of format.

Youtubers don't even bother to republish the video somewhere else because they know themselves that its a monopoly.
> Developers who adopt the new business terms at any time will not be able to switch back to Apple’s existing business terms for their EU apps.

I still enjoyed it. The libertarians are probably freaking out but that's why we have a government, to keep companies in check.
I can't speak for the longer-term reliability, but we have an Epson Ecotank which you literally fill with ink from a bottle (no cartridges). It was more expensive than other Inkjet printers (since they don't sell them at a loss and profit from cartridges), but ours has been humming along for two or three years. We got an extra set of CMYK bottles, but we haven't had to refill it yet (fairly large reservoirs).
Yeah, it was basically DNT except with teeth, would've made sense.
Actually if Framework just reused some white-label printing engine, with known characteristics, spare parts, and cartridges, that could already be great. It would mean no cartridge shenanigans, and likely better and open firmware. And yes, internal USB ports for modular network interfaces and such :)

I'm afraid it's going to be pretty expensive though. Many printers are essentially subsidized by purchases of toner and ink.
> I am sorry for non-EU consumers.

I'm sure there will be a way around this geoblock in no time. It may be as simple as changing the country in your Apple ID — just put a random address from that country in there and you're done.
I have a Brother Laser printer from ~2011 (HL-2280DW)that gets mad when I use non-oem toner. It still works, but it complains.

This appears to be for "paid subscribers".
You have a choice. Don't use the other store. If there was only one AppStore for games on PC you'd have no choice. That's the point. If it was only Steam, and Steam said they won't allow any games that depict war, what choice would you have?

But that's the magic of having multiple App Stores, they have to compete. They can't be the world police of software.

What's so hard to understand that having a choice means you can choose to do something, or not.

If you want to use your phone with only Apple's Appstore, continue to do so, if an app you really want is not on the app store, then DONT BUY IT, except now, someone besides you has the CHOICE to download it.

I'm somewhat uncomfortable with the lack of details around how the execution is performed - is the mask snug enough to ensure a fairly pure N2 environment, how long will the condemned be left to asphyxiate, etc. But, compared to most other means of execution, this should be fairly painless; certainly, it'll be better than electrocution, lethal injection, or HCN gas.
Very few USB battery banks can handle charging power being added and/or removed without "restarting". I doubt this works as the author intends: it almost certainly restarts as power comes and/or goes.

Not relevant here, but many multi-port usb-c chargers also stop & start when you plug in or remove another device. Been a long term Ugreen fan, still use the incredibly generic looking 30W charger I bought absurdly cheap from them in 2019, but this behavior is definitely on the Nexode units I have from them (130 & 65W). I did get a OTAO 200w desktop charger & it maintains power as I add or remove devices, which is nice! My monitor runs off usb-c via a 20v DC barrel jack cable, so it's nice being able to plug in a laptop or phone without the screen resetting, ha.
Regulation is not the problem in Europe; lower concentration of capital and higher risk-aversion are.

Roughly 1/3rd of the US corn production is for ethanol[1], 1/3rd for animal feed, and 1/3rd for human food products. Ethanol kind of sucks as a fuel though, because it can't be piped for various reasons[2] including water-induced separation in gasoline-ethanol blends and oxygen induced steel corrosion requiring specialized pipeline construction to mitigate. This means ethanol is usually shipped via train and worse, trucked, increasing diesel usage/emissions on top of the farm equipment emissions to grow and harvest the corn in the first place.

So in the end it isn't much better than pure gasoline at best, and is actually overall higher total emissions at worst.

Edit: ethanol also doesn't have the same range as gasoline per tank, so vehicles may need to fuel up more often, making the problem worse.

Yeah it’s incredibly out of character as well. Apple has always been very clear in their comms with end users. While this is directed towards developers mostly, it’s still a public announcement where the tantrum is mixed with incoherent and vague information. The fact that they are not communicating clearly what all these scam/fraud/safety risks are strengthens the belief that this is a tantrum in the style of a kid who’s reluctantly following the parents rules at a friend’s sleepover, but makes it a sport to circumvent them. Perhaps because they can do whatever they want at home?

Also, why have this publicly antagonistic relationship with a large governmental organization in the first place? It reeks of entitlement “we’re above the law” and/or misreading the room that Europeans are unanimously dissatisfied under the tyranny of EU bureaucracy, when that’s not the case at all. In fact, the EU has recovered well in public perception after several massive crises.

I mentioned this in other comments in the thread, but I agree with you a tiny bit in regards to offense - this video goes over it quite well by Rusty Buckets [0]. I also go over how 3-point shots have made 2-point shots more valuable.

I very much disagree with your Jordan comment. I think MJ could develop a 3-point shot. If anything, I think he could have shined even more in this day and age .

Today's NBA is more dynamic and "positionless" than previous rigid coaching, giving rise to players that would have otherwise been forced to play a role. Jokic & MJ, Haliburton & MJ, or even Sengun & MJ would be scary.

All amazing passers that could feed the ball to MJ, but also put the offense in a bad spot. If you guard MJ, then Jokic, Haliburton, Sengun, etc. could all shoot a 3 if left wide open.

Not even close. These things take at least a year or two to analyze and draft and debate and redraft and so forth. Then even when they're passed, there's a year or more to give companies time to enter compliance. Not to mention that there isn't necessarily the political impetus or appetite to revisit it right now -- they passed the DMA, now other things have higher priority.

The idea of "fixing" this in just one month isn't how anything happens -- it would take multiple years if it happened at all. The EU simply does not move anywhere near that fast -- not legislatively and not in the courts either.
> My fear for end users is that once an alternative App Store opens or direct side loading is allowed it will reduce users options and harm the users ability to effectivly control privacy.

This is massively misinformed. The majority of privacy controls exist in iOS itself completely independently of the distribution method, and many more unimplemented potentially beneficial privacy controls can also be implemented at that level. This has been true for years.
I'm curious how shim avoids the issue Microsoft is concerned about. Presumably if the anti-Tivoization clause of GPLv3 would require a Secure Boot signing key to be provided on request, it also requires a MOK signing key to be provided on request. The net result, then, seems to be that any arbitrary party can obtain signing keys which allow them to sign arbitrary code which will be booted (indirectly) via Secure Boot. How is that a meaningfully different outcome from the one we would have if Microsoft simply issued signing keys for GPLv3 projects like grub?
It was only an example, and in both platforms I use an installed application.

A more interesting example: I use pCloud instead of MS OneDrive, or Google Drive. They don't have supported Linux clients.

I rejected Dropbox for other reasons, like the limitation to have only one synchronized folder, but technically it has an Ubuntu service and an Android app.

Icedrive seems to be a suitable service, but I found pCloud first.

And believe me: I will not use a browser based interface when I could simply save the files into several folders of my preference, and the sync happens in the background. Every single file storage service I mentioned has a browser based interface. I consider all of them unusable.
I'm afraid that making precise mechanical parts is not very cheap, and the current crop of printers is mostly already being produced on these "overseas" factories (Chinese, I suppose).

Of course it does. When "Good Old Reliable" carbon-heavy baseload gets more expensive, that creates more incentive for storage (factobattery or otherwise).

Remember that the end goal is to achieve 100% renewable energy, not to build the most factobatteries. If you build more factobatteries than needed to efficiently achieve 100% renewable energy, you did it wrong.

That has not always been the case. They were dead wrong about the population size needed to produce false positives for the number of sites usually compared in the 1990s. These were _scientists_.
