That’s fair. I am vaguely aware that sim and sandbox games do tend to have mod support. For reference, with a quick search into the 71 games mentioned in the 2025 Game Awards Show, ~5-10 come with significant mod support.

How is this pro-AI?

More and more games seem to suck on thier own, but can be great with mods.

But back then, modded games weren’t anywhere near as common as they are now.

What are you talking about? What new games with proper modding tools are there? Nobody wants to mod Starfield compared to Skyrim, Most of you probably don’t even know that there are modding tools out for Doom Eternal. CS server mods were effectively neutered by CS2’s matchmaking and skins store. There’s gooner mods for Capcom games and VR plugins I guess. Indie game engines ate the modding community’s lunch.

Makes sense that a properly balanced model with randomization turned down should be able to recognize when something is being done outside the acceptable parameters.

I don’t know how you gathered such a sense when that not being true has been the main laughing point for AI since its inception. Meta AI security and safety researcher Summer Yue’s “Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw ‘confirm before acting’ and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox” was just last month btw.

They didn’t say “100% of humans can solve this benchmark”, they said “humans can solve 100% of this benchmark”.

I don’t know how you can convince yourself that the Powers That Be is so powerful that it can just ram age verification through, but weak enough to be stopped in its tracks right afterwards by this lesser implementation by this one state. I guess you must imagine it working like the bear circle in spongebob lol.

Bethesda, Square Enix, and Capcom usually do that, but it’s not a rule.

It costs nothing.

Except for an opportunity to practice getting better at the thing you recognize is an issue.

And, at 52, I write the way I write.

Although I guess you’ve already given up on the getting better part.

Infinite money Google keeps trying to push shit to the standard so all other browsers end up needing significant dedicated resources to keep up or risk getting blamed for broken sites.

You can trust hardware without trusting the vendor through auditing or analysis. In that case if you are aware of the hardware’s behavior then the additional blob updates are simply added uncertainty. Similarly if you are already aware of the security implications of the old blob and have appropriate countermeasures for it, then the new blob is also simply added uncertainty. The article notes this.

Why are you telling me “It can’t be done without corporate involvement” like it’s some kind of persuasive point 😭

This entire announcement is literally about an creation of a for-profit company to deliver hardware attestation in linux as a product 🤣

I unfortunately accept the reality of our corporate dominated technology landscape, I’m just confused about your downright enthusiasm for the same.

How is systemd somehow taking away freedoms at the behest of corporations who asked such a thing?

RedHat putting their thumb on the scale providing full time engineers on this project to gain market share and become the defacto standard that they control doesn’t sound like a problem? How do you feel about what chromium is doing to the web?

UEFI is an open standard, buddy. Microsoft is the only player fucking that up

Microsoft is the only player “fucking that up” right. And the other corporations have some sort of god-given goodness to them that make it impossible for them to follow suit?

“Trusted Computing” has existed in the very hardware you own and run for almost 30 years now. Literally nobody but cellphone makers use it in the way you describe. Seems you’re still using it though, so nobody seems to have made the apocalyptic decisions that bring your fearful future to bear.

Nobody but (half of the entire consumer device market) use it in the way described, and this company comes in offering tools to do the same thing to the other half, and you don’t see the problem?

A “Trusted Computing” framework - and this is how I know you don’t understand any of this - is only present. It takes software to interact with it to “take your freedoms away” as you put it.

Software that these people are developing.

“…we just provide the tools…”. MY GOD. Where do I even start with this? I can name about a hundred different FOSS tools that break encryption. You mad at the people who made the FOSS encryption tools, or the ones who the FOSS tools to decrypt it?

I’m wary of the people that provide turn key solutions to deploy it at scale

The only people who want this are people make and produce hardware platforms that ship out into the world so they can ensure they are T2B secure. It seems you don’t know much about security, so I’ll let you in a little secret…(If it claims to be secure, it means there are hardware controls in place)

And if the user (that’s what we call the person who owns the device, if you don’t know much about these things) doesn’t want it?

We know from systemd that these people are willing to use corporate resources to snuff out grassroots alternatives to grow their market share, and we know from the sorry state of boot chains on basically every device that isn’t x86 UEFI that corporations are salivating at the idea of implementing trusted computing at the expense of user freedoms, and we know know from the above quotes that the best assurance the founders of this companies have is “we just provide the tools, it’s up to the corporations to decide how to use it, teehee!” The only mystery here is people like you here who see all this and think “surely things will go different this time. these are good boys”.

He’s very CLEARLY illustrating his intent to prevent the very thing you’re shutting your pants about

It will always be up to the distro

We don’t really have any control over what Microsoft decides to do

where is the prevention brother?

“Found to be better” because of commercial resources and support pouring in and outcompeting grassroots alternatives to gain market share. Do you share the same lukewarm acceptance for what chromium is doing for web browsers?

better than reading the damn article, here are the weasily corporate words directly from mr daan the founder 🤣

So adding all of this technology will certainly make it more easy to be used for either good or bad. And it will certainly become possible to build an OS that will be less hackable than your run of the mill Linux distro.

Yes, this commercial entity founded by people who have a literal track record of doing exactly that

Yes, that’s correct, the last 5 years should have made clear to anybody that the “actual needs of an entire industry” and the needs of the people are diametrically opposed.
