I guess if you don’t know what a rootkit is it could seem like one.
This is the calmest, most insulting thing you could have possibly said.
Thanks, often that’s what I’m going for.
Yeah. This meme makes no sense…
Let’s avoid misinforming people please. The reality is bad enough, no need to start lying and deceiving
It’s a joke. Chillax.
Memes can still inform (and misinform)
Yes specially if people don’t know what a rootkit is. They’ll think “ah, so this is an example of a rootkit, it must be because it is upvoted a lot, nice meme *upvotes”

But the meme has the right intention. Google WILL deploy a rootkit to make it make sense
Google already has rootkits installed on about 50% of devices that access the web with a browser (Android phones).
I am painfully aware
FYI it’s perfectly possible to get rid of Google on an Android phone without rooting or messing with custom ROMs.

Not fully, without affecting stability
Stock roms may not play well with microG signature spoofing :P
I run my phone without microG or Goggle Play Services.
Messaging apps run in the background so they can receive push messages, location works fine over GPS and speech recognition and synthesis works fine without Google Play Services or internet access (in English at least).Which phone?
While WEI definitely doesn’t qualify as a rootkit itself, any useful attester is going to require aspects of one - whether it’s a phone asserting that it hasn’t been rooted, or a PC running with approved SecureBoot and TPM keys.
There’s no way to say this one way or the other until it’s implemented.
However to “verify” a system from a hardware level to any decent level of accuracy would require kernel level access.
Technically you’re correct, until you’re not.
That’s still not what a rootkit is. Lol
Spudward is on a fucking crusade
A righteous one though

Honestly I want to look at funny memes, not be fed fud about something I’m already aware exists. It’s not even funny to look at, it’s just getting depressing.
Edit: Apparently these memes were posted by one user, so I just blocked that user.
Only? We need more.
Why? You realize it’s an internal community here, right?
The group is divided into people who already have Fox and people who dislike it’s features enough to use something Chromium like Brave or Vivaldi.
No one’s changing their minds over these memes here, and we’re not getting visibility from some huge amount of people on a public forum who don’t know why chrome bad so that you can proselytize.
At this point it’s just making me wish we had more diversity of fucking content.
Anybody who unironically calls things cringe should be disregarded.
Wow, you weren’t kidding.
I don’t think it’ll go that far. What I’m more worried about is that the spec calls for multiple attesters. So Microsoft and others might even make their own under the spec.
Every platform that has a vested interest (e.g. is, or is a large contractor of advertising companies) will likely want in on this.
If the choices are in or out, any company beholden to investors or shareholders won’t really have a lot of options it seems.
They are trying to cut off internet access so only paying customers can stay
Color me surprised that it’s Google that created and pushed for support of this shit.
It doesn’t matter if it goes short or far. This shit is DRM, and if any part of it makes it into browsers, it’s the end of the web as we know it.
