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.

How does this make you feel?
DRM in the Linux kernel
Nathan Carter
Bentley Barnes
Fuck that shit. Should be illegal.
Isaac White
feels pretty gross and nonfree, man.
Josiah Price
How did he reconcile the DMCA and GPL?
Jordan Lopez
Man fuck Google everything.

What exactly does HDMI DRM do?
Wyatt Foster
It's best known for having its implementation commented out in the Linux kernel sources
Ryan Campbell
Makes it so you can control what devices "content" can be played on.
Ryder Morales
Of course he would try to implement DRM on Linux so that no one pirates hours songs.
Chase Perez
# modprobe -f -r hdmi_drm
Connor Ross
Oy vey! This man is an enemy of Linux and a threat to the Hobby. Hans! You know what to get!
William Garcia
The gas chamber?
Ethan Ward
Heh I'm still using VGA, nothing personnel kid
Blake Lopez
Flammenwarfer or MG 42 is required, I believe.

Advancement was a mistake. We should have stuck with 20MHz machines and 28.8k dial-up.
Josiah Ross
>HDMI
absolutely proprietary
Matthew Jackson
>28.8k dial-up
We had to advance, otherwise how else would the Jewish propaganda perpetrate itself into the minds of young children?
Connor Green
I have literally never dealt with this. Is it actually cable DRM, i.e. plugging it into the wrong device gives you an error message telling you to fuck off?
Noah Adams
>google wants drm in browsers for audio and video (w3c approved)
>google wants drm in hdmi cables for audio and video
Hmmmm...
Thomas Robinson
What is the chance this will become a part of the colonel?
Brandon Thomas
See The great thing about free software is that, if there's an unwanted feature in a piece of software, you can just remove it.
Ryan Lee
Some other drivers had it for years, what's your point?

Tyler Turner
OwO what's this?

Kayden Hughes
What is Linus thinking?!
Liam Cook
Linus is a Red Hat employee, why would he be against this?
Noah Sanchez
Why would he be against a piece of GPL code enabling a hardware feature? amd and nvidia bake this shit into linux firmware, and there is a shitton of blackbox firmware in linux-firmware

William Richardson
I was going to post about how displayport is superior to HDMI, then I read up on it and it has DRM too
DVI-D is the only true standard
Julian Ramirez
why woulx anyone that is not a jew want this in the kernel?
Dylan Wilson
...
Joshua Wright
bad. it makes me feel bad.
thanks OP
Angel Butler
Why do you guys care? Nobody will force you to use it. Everybody who cares about their freedom, including me, can ignore it and move on with our lives. It's likely to ever be used in OEM and embedded systems.
Blake Sullivan
>Nothing to worry about, goy!
Kayden Morgan
the market will force you to use it
Owen Morris

Dominic Russell
kek
Cooper Phillips
Most likely someone will fork this to have a version without cancerous DRM.
Kayden Watson
It's DRM
In the linux kernel
Someone will find a way to hang you with it
Jaxon Wright
>linux users
>part of the market
Joseph Cooper
No.... it allows you to play drm content as opposed to not being able to play drm. If it’s in the kernel, you can just read the code and decide if you want it or not
Ryder Turner
I would accept it being in userspace with the option to remove it by uninstalling a package, but not in the kernel.
Brandon Cooper
How else am I going to stream muh HD Netflix on the Google branded Gentoo-book?
Landon Flores
You're implying that it will be open source. They could very well release a binary blob-module. Not that it matters anyway, nobody is forcing you to use it and due to the nature of the open source GNU+Linux environment, it would quickly be reverse engineered or worked around anyway.
Isaac Rodriguez
>the open source GNU+Linux environment
*free
Carter Barnes
when do we fork
Ryder Johnson
software freedom is a superset of source freedom
don't be pedantic, user
Ayden Robinson
Already happened. See:
