This is why proprietary software subjugates users. Stallman is right.
Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these:
Stallman was right again.The browser engine implementing the client side of this is open source. Even the attester could be open source (because good crypto doesn’t need obscurity). Also the server side can be open source. It will still be a DRM and you still can’t do much about it, because you can’t force server/service operators to use the opensource software in a way you want. So if they want to enable WEI, they can do it. No matter if it’s proprietary or open source. Actually it’s even easier when it’s opensource.
Firefox mother fucker, do you use it?
Nobody’s going to use it when 90% of the web blocks everything except genuine Chrome on genuine Windows.
I have hope that the FTC will antitrust those cunts. At least I hope so. I’m not gonna hold my breath though.
Microsoft put Netscape and Stac out of business and got away scot-free, so yeah, not holding my breath either.
Everyone going mad and many suggesting “if you have it use Safari instead!” when Apple implemented essentially this same thing quite some time ago in Safari 🤔
That said intentions are important. I have little faith that Big G’s goal is anything other than self servin.
It’s a very different thing when a browser with negligible market share does that.
Safari has over 20% browser market share. That isn’t negligible.
Any chance you have a link or source for this? I usually keep up on tech news but don’t remember anything of this nature.
Stallman would disapprove:
