A thread commenting on what happened with the microsoft update that prevented linux / grub from booting, worth reading
Trying to do this all from first principles, so:* A freedom-respecting computer should never prevent a user from running software they want to run
But also:
* A safety-respecting computer should never allow someone other than the user to run software that acts against the user
There's no inherent conflict here - the user should be allowed to run whatever they want, someone who isn't the user shouldn't. But how do we tell the difference?
rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua reshared this.
