Why Gaming with openSUSE Is A Good Move

No, Privacy is Not Dead.

Privacy is a Human Right,
and it is only dead
if we let it die.

There are 2 mindsets that scare me a lot in data privacy.

In this short article, I discuss
which mindsets we should be wary of and what we should do instead to advance our common objective of improving privacy rights: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/02/17/privacy-is-not-dead/

No, Privacy is Not Dead: Beware the All-or-Nothing Mindset

Privacy is only dead if we let it die. Be careful about the all-or-nothing mindset in data privacy, it can do more damage than good to the cause. While striving for improvements, do not forget to cheer and celebrate each small win.

Today and tomorrow is #EmacsConf, and my short presentation about using #org mode notes being exported to academic publications will be the first one to be streamed.  It's a bit scary but I'm also really excited to take part of it!

Kudos to @sacha for the great job at organizing the whole thing!

EmacsConf - 2024

This is a ThinkPad T480S, running Libreboot. Mate Kukri did it last night for coreboot, based on his ThinkPad T480 port.

And the T480 is also supported by Libreboot!

T480 and T480S both added to Libreboot last night. This is using Mate Kukri's excellent deguard utility, to disable the Intel Boot Guard.

New Libreboot release coming soon. It's the coreboot distro that I maintain, replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmwaer.

lbmk.git - libreboot build system (LibreBoot MaKe)

Libreboot recently added U-Boot as a payload option on x86_64 machines. The photos below show a ThinkPad X200 running U-Boot.

U-Boot provides a 64-bit UEFI environment. With it, I was able to successfully install and boot OpenBSD via UEFI method on a ThinkPad X200; the original vendor firmware doesn't do UEFI!

New Libreboot release coming soon. It's the free/opensource coreboot distro I maintain, replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware.

My other coreboot distro will *also* be getting U-Boot.
