@wyatt yes, it is simply because the #Xbox360 is relatively easy to mod (#RGH3), even the #Winchester Version can at least be "tethered" jailbroken (using the #BadUpdate - #exploit) and #AFAICT it's not possible to break the #XboxOne as #Microsoft designed their own custom *on-CPU die "Security Complex" with everything being end-to-end, hierachically encrypted from the per-CPU Key down, so the only place something is unencrypted is inside the APU which has the CPU & GPU on.

And if you try to #RGH that one and destabilize the #CPU it'll literally give you the finger and reboot the moment it detects some fucky-wucky - ness in terms of clocks and/or voltages...

@punissuer @m04 @FediPact I'm not a lawyer (and I only can refer to ones in my juristiction, which is #Germany (so i.e. @wbs_legal would be the form to get in touch with) so your mileage is different...

  • However #AFAICT having extortive pricing and predatory business models will likely get ripped apart in court (see lawyers like #Gravenreuth who made their money preyong on alleged spammers and pirates, demanding absurdly high cease-and-decist fees to not press charges) as #FRAND licensing would likely be mandated.

Plus a mere HTTP(S) request would likely not hold up in court as an informed contractual agreement customary for that sum.

  • Similarly right-extremist tinfoilhats aka. "Reich Citizens" fail get their made-up debts (against legal and natural persons in Germany) from overseas (i.e. #USA) enforced.

By contrast giving them a custom 402 (Payment Required) error or 403 (Forbidden) page demandng them to contract for access may be deemed sifficient if done ASN-wide.

  • #Funfact: #ESPN did 403 most website visitors from the U.S. if their ISP didn't pay their ransom demands.

Personally I'm considering to block all #GAFAMS and "#AI" companies from my systems...

@dalias personally I think that #Linux #Kernel needs to prioritize what it wants.

#AFAICT Linux always prioritized clean, lean & human-readable #C code over features, efficiency and sometimes even security.

#Rust being turned into an integral part would extremely complicate the #build process and add a shitload of #dependencies to build @OS1337 or any other #minimal / #embedded OS that it would be a net negative by just making the whole #toolchain bigger, bulkier, more complex and convoluted.

@[email protected] +1 I avoid #Rust because it adds #complexity. - In fact I'm yeeting #SYSLINUX from @OS1337 because it's ~200kB of #bloat and #Perl...
