    I don’t know about web environment integrity or where this will lead but I remember the time trusted computing and TPMs came up. At this time, people were really scared that this is the end of Linux (on PC). Today, I use secure boot (with my MOK) on my consumer distro just fine.

      Had Trusted Computing happened as it was originally envisioned, you wouldn’t be. You’d be using Windows because that’s the only operating system you’d be allowed to use.

      And now here we are again, facing down a plot to extinguish FOSS competition under the guise of security. Yes, it’s happened before, but that doesn’t mean the outcome is guaranteed to be as favorable as it was last time.
