TPM is a dedicated chip or firmware enabling hardware-level security, housing encryption keys, certificates, passwords, and sensitive data, "and shielding them from unauthorized access," Microsoft senior product manager Steven Hosking wrote last month, declaring TPM 2.0 to be "a non-negotiable standard for the future of Windows."

I'm so tired of projects being like "We're open-source" and then they're hosted on GitHub, using Discord and whatever fucking other awful tooling they can get their hands on. Thanks guys. I'll definitely check out your project, yes.

how does that make the project any less open-source?

what's next, shaming project owners for living in a house that they pay for with a corporate job?

we get it, you hate capitalism, but that doesn't mean other people want to go live in the woods too... gotta be realistic :)

Ewww did you type this on a computer made by BIG TECH? How do you call yourself a supporter of the free world when you're using tech that had precious metals mined by CHILDREN?!
