The much maligned "Trusted Computing" idea requires that the party you are supposed to trust deserves to be trusted, and Google is DEFINITELY NOT worthy of being trusted, this is a naked power grab to destroy the open web for Google's ad profits no matter the consequences, this would put heavy surveillance in Google's hands, this would eliminate ad-blocking, this would break any and all accessibility features, this would obliterate any competing platform, this is very much opposed to what the web is.

Don't forget you also lose all the android apps you purchased. Oh wait, isn't there a community that helps you avoid that?

Sorry, can't run code not signed by an attester recognized by your hardware manufacturer.

Please enable bootlock and wipe your device to regain attested status.

Can't enable bootlock, your device's attestation expired 1 months ago, please use an up to date device if you wish to use attestation.

Rip Linux, Android custom roms.

Kind of. Several apps already refuse to run without bootlock or on a rooted system if it wasn't for Magisk, this will make web apps to refuse running too.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
