DRM in the Linux kernel

(you) (you)

Doesn't really matter. Linux-libre exists, and Linux is built in such a way that each part could be patched out by hand. Doesn't impact any of my current or potential use cases.

I don't think you know what that phrase means. What libre, alternative standards are they displacing with this? None. Are they planning to fork the whole kernel over this? Of course not. Have proprietary blobs caused complete destruction of libre alternatives in the Linux kernel before? Not to my knowledge.

...

I'll bet there where people who thought just like you when systemd was starting to take over Linux.

Everything's a slippery slope to Holla Forums. Dude, just don't use it! Do you expect to run HDMI DRM when you have no HDMI?

I don't care about systemd because everything else already exists.

And I'm typing this from Void. What's your point?

Everything is a slippery slope.

If Linux is A-OK with this then whats to stop card and display manufactures just making everything HDMI?

daily reminder that the HDMI consortium used its patent pool as a weapon to force HDCP into DisplayPort, which originally was DRM-free, and takes an even higher royalty per physical DP port than they do with HDMI
