@TheGibson for legitimate uses, Microsoft can expose an API to userspace covering just those uses, and users can control what applications can access it, rather than opening up the entire kernel to those who want to control user behaviours.

kline 🏴 (kline@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Monday, 16-Sep-2024 13:02:56 JST kline 🏴 @TheGibson Personally, I'm welcoming the end of Microsoft giving shady vendors the ability to drop black box blobs into the kernel and denying users the ability to see what's happening.
Denuvo etc are all bad for users, and companies like Sony have proven they will take advantage of any toehold they receive for ostensibly legitimate reasons to absolute rinse their customers.

kline 🏴 (kline@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Sunday, 25-Aug-2024 12:10:30 JST kline 🏴 @Nimbius666 I don't want to cheerlead for NASA (def not Boeing/SpaceX who exceptionally suck), every US astronaut death happened before the CMS flew people.
If you only count the time when both the CMS & NASA have been operating, neither have lost any people.
CMS has benefited from lessons from US and Russian/Soviet deaths. If the CMS had to learn these lessons from scratch they likely would have lost people. And apples to apples, all three are running 0 deaths in the time they've all existed.

kline 🏴 (kline@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Friday, 14-Jun-2024 22:08:17 JST kline 🏴 The silver lining to global warming is that we're not actually going to destroy the world.
We're 200 years into a genuinely tragic mass extinction event of our own making and we'll be just one victim.
But we've had a bunch of mass extinction events and the planet will soldier on quite happily without us, with wonderful new species coming to inhabit whatever our corpses watch over.
