TPM is a dedicated chip or firmware enabling hardware-level security, housing encryption keys, certificates, passwords, and sensitive data, “and shielding them from unauthorized access,” Microsoft senior product manager Steven Hosking wrote last month, declaring TPM 2.0 to be “a non-negotiable standard for the future of Windows.”
how does that make the project any less open-source?
what’s next, shaming project owners for living in a house that they pay for with a corporate job?
we get it, you hate capitalism, but that doesn’t mean other people want to go live in the woods too… gotta be realistic :)
They are still technically open-source. I’m not saying that they’re not. But they’re actively alienating users who want to use open-source, because those users cannot get support, report bugs or contribute to the project without using proprietary software.
How extreme do you have to be to only use websites if they are open source?? That’s roughly 0% of the web.
