Pic related is Sean Paul. He's a staff software engineer for Chrome OS at Google and a Linux kernel maintainer. Sean is currently working on getting HDMI DRM patched into the Linux kernel.
What's your thoughts about this?

what is Linus saying about it?

I don't know much about linux but i do know that sean paul is an anagram of pale anus

this is outrageous
why is this even allowed?

since when is youtube embed disabled on Holla Forums?? i thought i used to be able to embed from youtube

YOU WANTED THE YEAR OF LINUX DESKTOP
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET
Thank Stallman God, there is still Linux-libre.
Dylan Hill
where?
Jose Miller
Where? Maybe you should lurk for a couple more years, then come back.
John Nguyen
excellent discovery

HDCP is such a shitty way for DRM to even exists the guy who thought of it just need to off himself.
en.wikipedia.org
Obviously this won't be added/used in the linux-libre kernel.
Nolan Wright
embrace, extend, extinguish
Benjamin Long
I don't get it, this just provides a patch to read from/write to I2C for HDCP stuff. How is this bad? It seems to be a basic implementation. There's no actual DRM going on in the kernel.
Carson Reyes
The actual DRM will be in blobs.
Blake Murphy
Yeah, but you don't need to load it, right? The only people that will be affected by this is people who like it in the ass.
Joseph Morgan
everything popular gets subverted
Jacob Reyes
Its just a standard, tho.
If the implementation isn't proprietary, it just makes sense to be there.
Charles Perry
This unfortunately.
It all depends on the strength/finance of the ones that are already in place.
Linus still has some control over a few things but he doesn't and can't have control of shit that's being paid and developed by Sony or any other corporation.
The problem is again who gives money and has long that only corporations and not the public will finance publicly available code then nothing or very little can go in the good direction.
I don't say it's bad for a company to finance the linux kernel or any other project but the "features" they will add/impose isn't freedom friendly.
Jordan Martinez
No.Never.
Sure!
Xavier Miller
I modernized it since the methodology of governments/black ops has more or less changed.
First they infiltrated Anonymous image boards, and I did not speak out because I was an Anonymous.
Then they infiltrated Hacker communities, and I did not speak out because I was a Hacker.
Then they infiltrated FLOSS, and I did not speak out because I was a FLOSS supporter.
Then they came for me
and everyone was divided, there was no one left to listen.
Brandon Ortiz
First they infiltrated the chans, and I did speak out because I was Anonymous.
Then they came for the political wrongthinker, and I did speak out because I was a wrongthinker.
Then they took away my GNU/Linux, and I did speak out because I was a FLOSS supporter.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

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.
Caleb Gonzalez
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?
Logan Murphy
I don't care about systemd because everything else already exists.
Aiden Harris
And I'm typing this from Void. What's your point?
Jeremiah Foster
Everything is a slippery slope.
Jack Young
If Linux is A-OK with this then whats to stop card and display manufactures just making everything HDMI?
Tyler Garcia
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

Do you have a single fact to back that up?
Jonathan Richardson
Are you being serious right now ?
Are you a bot or just an outright faggot ?
https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort
Search the page for HDCP and DCDP.
page 9 of the official vesa spec. it's literally the first page after the table of contents.

Josiah Long
It doesn't answer this part:
> HDMI consortium used its patent pool as a weapon to force HDCP into DisplayPort
Charles Perez
Why would they put HDCP in there if it already had DPCP ? It was forced in to squeeze extra shekels out of the consumer and to overcomplicate things.
We're paying for 2 standards when 1 would do.
Jeremiah Martinez
If this standard is used only for HDMI DRM and serves no other technical function then it should not be incorporated into the kernel. It's just a guy with a machete gently prodding you to take the first step over to the ditch at the side of the road. It always feels gentle at the start. Less fuss and annoyance for him. Stop staring at your feet and take a look around you.

I do not approve the shitty idea of using shitty animation format from 80s for photo-realistic video fragments. And since it's mostly unused for other purposes, I've blocked them in uBO to save traffic.
There is no excuse for using GIF when there's VP9 and H.264 which are ~30 times more efficient.
Cooper Gray
Ok, Stallman.
Bentley Garcia
is this for netflix, or is google introducing their own streaming platform separate from youtube red, or what?

It really is though. We went from interracial dating to trannies and pedos in what, fifty years?
Carson Nguyen
Oh please. Don't talk about degeneracy in Holla Forums if you ever watch porn or anime.
Noah Jackson
Started with accepting binary blobs for wireless drivers, then blobs for GPUs, then systemd, now DRM right in the kernal. Linux is pozzed.
Its been taken over by mega-corps who now control which direction it goes.

None of that belongs in any kernel anyway. No drivers belong in the kernel. That's what they get for not making a microkernel.
William Collins
The problem would actually be worse if we were using something like Minix or the HURD.
Christopher Martinez
Linus has admitted that a microkernel is superior on paper but in reality a monolithic kernel is super handy.
Gabriel Powell
No it won't.
