I don’t think chain of trust and security through kernel-level access are fighting the same problem.
Usually chain of trust is to prevent app tampering, and kernel-level access is to prevent memory tampering.
I assume Windows is creating a new API for applications to monitor certain regions of memory for tampering without needing kernel access.
For those that think the response is overblown, from the thread:
These images are intended to be a drop-in replacement for Steam Deck OS for handheld console-like gaming PCs like the Steam Deck (Lenovo Legion Go, ASUS ROG Ally, MSI Claw, and other hardware in the same space).
These are also to be used to create gaming theater PCs, for streamlined use on a living room television.
The issue with “just using Flatpak or a container” is that the gamescope compositor simply does not work in those situations, when paired with Steam’s Gaming Mode, as it has the same concerns as a desktop environment. There would simply be no way to serve Gaming Mode as an environment.
As such, moving to this would essentially force Bazzite, as a project, to abandon its primary reason for existing - alienating 2/3s of their userbase. The remaining 1/3s would be served a lesser experience for a variety of more paper cut reasons, and VR is already a complex topic which would get even worse.
It’s a big deal because disallowing the native steam build would make it nearly impossible to run bazzite in a SteamOS-like experience (which accounts for 2/3s of bazzite’s users)
only problem could be other packages or the kernel becoming incompatible
Yea dependency management without updates is like 80% of the work that goes into package maintenance
In 2001 when The US authorized use of force on Al-Qaeda that, along with The 1973 war powers resolution gave the president (as in the position of president, not just Bush) unlimited ability to bomb anyone loosely associated with Al-Qaeda in perpetuity.
It’s what allowed Bush, then Obama, then Trump, and then Biden, and now Trump again, to use the military as they see fit for performing military operations against basically any state and group in the middle east.
I’m no expert, but usually when missiles “go ballistic” their engines turn off and they have limited maneuvering capability at the end of their flight.
This one looks like it had engines on all the way to the target, which is a fairly newer class of design.
I have also been done in many times by git-filter-repo. My condolences to the chef.
I’m not sure how you’re getting wallpaper engine to work on Linux because it’s not supported on anything other than windows.
Are you using Wallpaper Engine? If so you are likely going to keep having issues with your screen blanking while you try and use it, as it’s not supported on Linux.

Jokes aside I actually do appreciate that almost all guix packages are verified source and not just copy scripts of already built tarballs.
Guix is awesome!
Nonguix substitute server is down for the fifth straight day, forcing me to rebuild the entire Linux kernel when updating
And you should Never use it!
Nah you can’t even use cash in a lot of post offices now.
I agree to some degree but the gnu project doesn’t have a great track record for performative hosting (savannah is very prone to going down for long periods of time.)
I don’t begrudge better hosting infrastructure from a different non-profit.
As a guix user and package maintainer I’m ecstatic.
I’m so proud of the community for rallying around the needs and pain points of everyone and making this decision. This reduces so many pain points for a guix user and will hopefully smooth out the package maintenance process a great deal. Email is simple but trying to do code change communication over it can be very complex and time-laborous.
If you’re curious about functional packaging systems grab guix on your distro and give it a try!
Special shout out to anyone burnt out on Nix lang. Come feel the warm embrace of Scheme’s parentheses. :)
Agreed, Scylla and Charybdis, as it is.
It’s not quite cut and dry as there’s also the recent decisions by the supreme court:
Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith (2023) - “At issue was the Prince Series created by Andy Warhol based on a photograph of the musician Prince by Lynn Goldsmith. It held Warhol’s changes were insufficiently transformative to fall within fair use for commercial purposes, resolving an issue arising from a split between the Second and Ninth circuits among others.”
Jack Daniel’s Properties, Inc. v. VIP Products LLC (also 2023) - “The case deals with a dog toy shaped similar to a Jack Daniel’s whiskey bottle and label, but with parody elements, which Jack Daniel’s asserts violates their trademark. The Court unambiguously ruled in favor of Jack Daniel’s as the toy company used its parody as its trademark, and leaving the Rogers test on parody intact.”
The aforementioned Rogers test was quoted in both decisions but with pretty different interpretations of the coverage of “parody.”
One thing seems to be the key: intent As long as AI isn’t purposefully trained to mimic a style to then it’s probably safe, but things like style LoRAs and style CLIP encodings are likely gonna be decided on whether the supreme court decided to have lunch that day.
Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. (1994) - This case established that the fact that money is made by a work does not make it impossible for fair use to apply; it is merely one of the components of a fair use analysis
This isn’t quite correct either.
The reality is that there’s a bunch of court cases and laws still up in the air about what AI training counts as, and until those are resolved the most we can make is conjecture and vague moral posturing.
Closest we have is likely the court decisions on music sampling and so far those haven’t been consistent, and have mostly hinged on “intent” and “affect on original copy sales”. So based on that logic whether or not AI training counts as copyright infringement is likely going to come down to whether or not shit like “ghibli filters” actually provably (at least as far as a judge is concerned) fuck with Ghibli’s sales.
