Words simply cannot describe how horrified I am at what is going on at Debian.
#MATTHEW GARRETT ICONOGRAPHER ARCHIVE#
I put the disturbing post I found in Archive Today just so there can’t be any confusion about what he actually said on his blog in 2006.īonus for simping for Ubuntu before they turned into a Microsoft Troll Farm posting spam about “WSL”. I suppose I might continue looking through things before Matthew Garrett catches on and starts deleting years-old posts.
So I can only imagine what else might be out there. The disturbing content about “stab people” came up in literally the first five seconds after I looked up “Matthew Garrett Debian”.
#MATTHEW GARRETT ICONOGRAPHER WINDOWS#
He boosts Microsoft, including their fake disk encryption in Windows that exfiltrates your decryption passphrase to Microsoft, and by extension, any cops that want it. The operating system shouldn’t silence the problem, hide it from them, and give them backdoored firmware and hardware by default without asking.īut I think it’s safe to say that people who openly say that they want to stab other people and themselves (even if it isn’t literal) should seek counseling, not be elevated to the Debian Technical Committee in the middle of the night.īecause that kind of toxicity has no place in society, and they should get the help they need for their own benefit, of course.
#MATTHEW GARRETT ICONOGRAPHER FREE#
He was angry at them for making the point that Linux is a growing pile of binary proprietary-only software, and that most people’s PCs just don’t work without it because the Free parts of the Linux kernel turn out to be woefully incomplete on PCs, and that this should alarm the user. There have always been ways to set it up with non-Free firmwares and programs. (I’ll assume he was speaking figuratively, but why would you even say this?)Īnd the issue that frustrated him so greatly at the time, which led to his resignation, was that he felt it was “too Free” to easily set up. Whenever he does comment on Free Software, it’s either to try to cancel the main most directly responsible for its existence (like RMS or Linus Torvalds) or to say he wants to “stab” the volunteer people at Debian in 2006. And he makes prolific usage of their GitHub division. His pattern has been job hopping and always working on something Microsoft wants, no matter where he’s at officially. Logically, why would you leave Google and take a job at Aurora voluntarily? That’s all I’m asking. When pressed by me on Techrights IRC to explain the logic of leaving a gigantic corporation with deep pockets for an unprofitable “self-driving truck” company that only has enough cash to go on for about another year, whose stock shares have halved again since September of 2022, which has no future prospects except either bankruptcy or a takeover for patents, he has been rather cryptic and evasive. Garrett left Google under generally unknown circumstances years ago.
#MATTHEW GARRETT ICONOGRAPHER HOW TO#
I’ve been over and over why I just turn it off before I destroy Windows and replace it on a new laptop, so I will try not to flog this horse again, but at a certain point, even Matthew Garrett admitted that even turning on the Microsoft 3rd party signing key that works with this “shim” bootloader stage more or less destroys Windows, at least from the point of view of an average user, who is unlikely to know how to recover, and the entire “Secure Core Initiative” is just another milestone to a point where the user won’t even be able to choose a different OS for their computer, at all, no matter what they want to do.
#MATTHEW GARRETT ICONOGRAPHER SOFTWARE#
Microsoft has supported Matthew Garrett by proxy during his work to foist so-called “Secure Boot” onto GNU/Linux, in a way that requires binary-only software in your boot path, whose only purpose is to lock the user (userspace) out of low level access to the computer. It has also taken quite a lot of money from nefarious and corrupting sources, such as Microsoft, who never gives away money without expecting ruinous and self-destructive favors from the recipient.Īs usual, the amounts in question were peanuts on the scale that Microsoft operates at, even as they are in trouble and in the middle of implementing massive layoffs and their CEO is speaking in euphemistically-coded pessimism about the future of the company. Some technical, some political, some “other”. (And himself.)ĭebian has made some unforced errors in recent years. Matthew Garrett has been appointed to Debian Technical Committee nearly 17 years after saying Debian made him want to stab the volunteers working on it.
