With that attitude it is 💅

Leaving in the bootloader unlock gives people who want to retain sideloading a place to retreat to that google still ultimately controls. Which is more appealing to a sociopathic corporation than cutting people off entirely

Graphene is locked to google hardware, so google effectively holds the keys to graphene too

I would say nytimes has as much dignity as a circus clown but it's not even funny so what's the point

The article mentions "negotiations" with EU but not a deal as the title implies?

Yeah, I'm all for anonymity but the quality of the article is so poor it's like it was published or boosted to undermine the position than actually promote it

right? are they really so short on dramatic things to write about they need to attach themselves like vampires to the minutae of open source software development? what's next, news articles about people with differing opinions on.. hydraulics manufacuring strategies?

It's bits, not bytes. And endianness is a huge consideration in systems programming. And it's basically Linus' whole role at this point to enforce extreme consistency and standards since the project is so large with so many contributors

The problem is that this rule gives a member's judges direct power over another member's courts and there's no clear recourse against members that use this power to violate human rights in ways the member's citizens would normally be protected from

I think if you want 10+ years with high assurance you probably want to burn the data to archival quality BD-R disks (not the dye based ones)

The right spinning platter hard drives might have a decent chance to make it 10 years but there's a lot of possible failure modes and also a decent chance that when you try spinning it back up it gives nothing but read errors.

For cases for "only" 10-30 years I might pick a pelican-like case inside a makeshift wooden coffin-like outer layer. For longer I'd probably use a metal box like an ammo box inside the plastic case and a stone outer layer instead of wood
