FSF Criticises Ubuntu For Dropping Grub 2 For Secure Boot
sfcrazy writes "The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has published a whitepaper suggesting how free operating systems can deal with UEFI secure boot. In the whitepaper, the foundation has criticized the approach Canonical/Ubuntu has taken to deal with the problem. The paper reads: 'It is not too late to change. We urge Ubuntu and Canonical to reverse this decision, and we offer our help in working through any licensing concerns. We also hope that Ubuntu, like Fedora, will actively support users generating and using their own signing keys to run and share any versions of the software, and not require users to install a key from Canonical to get the full benefit of their operating system.'"

Citizen, you have advocated criminal violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Please place your hands in the yellow circles and await a police action.
What political party do you join when you don't like Bible-thumpers *or* hippies?
Linux users in general are just Unix posers. If you aren't running HPUX on a home Itanium server, then you're just using watered down bullshit.
Also, my dick is bigger than yours.
Linux is mainstream everywhere except the desktop, and I heard the desktop is dead anyway.
And my dick is bigger then your dick.
Good for you. At least you have one thing going for you, since you appear to be semi-literate.
OS/X? Finally, the successor to OS/2 the market has been waiting for!
They can call it WARP 10!

That is probably the most common logical phallusy.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
Is there any way to get editors who know enough English to at least filter out sentences like:
Oh, please, it's just a one-letter typo, no need to get twisted.
There, fixed it.
^ Please see the above wall of text for an example of the type of user who finds Linux usable on the desktop.
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
