With Linux being the standard for server systems there is no way to force locked bootloaders everywhere without making the whole web and a lot of companies collapse. But I expect more limitations regarding desktop systems. It's hard to tell at this point because it's a complex issue, not only from an economical but also political point of view (Mass surveillance).

    Don't I own this hardware? Can I not do what I want with it?

    No, because fuck you. Ownership is for pussies, do you really want to own what you buy? Just buy a new one if you have problems. my hope is that we eventually get to a point where you cant even build your own PC. Gaming PCs all built by Nvidia woth the latest Geforce built in to the motherboard. With a subscription fee to use it, im talking cheap like only $20/month. and then in a year it can sleep gently in a landfill. Oh and a feature that sets your house on fire and mangles your genitals. and if you try to turn that off, you get sued. it was in the TOS, just dont use a computer if that bothers you, shithead. the future is bright.

    Your account is marked as a bot by the way, you can fix that in your user settings

    Oh sorry about that, it's still showing up as a bot for me but it's fine on your instance. I think the information just hasn't federated over to lemmy.ca yet

    Interesting. Maybe it helps if I log off?

    It might, but I think it might be a federation bug between our instances. I haven't seen one like this before, but I'll keep an eye out to see if it happens again / there's a pattern.

    You could also try setting yourself as a bot, saving, and then reversing it again. That might prompt your instance to send out the information again.

    If it helps, you don't show up as a bot from my instance

    Oof. Well, at this point I can't do anything else. I guess I have to live as a cyborg now. Could be worse.
