Readit NewsYou could say that any non-register memory access "blocks" but I feel that's needlessly confusing. Normal async code doesn't "block" in any relevant sense when it accesses the heap.
An error is preferred to silently returning garbage data!
That said, the most important extension usecase is adblocking, and with Manifest v4 and FLoC/Topics and SafetyNet/remote attestation, well...
That isn’t possible as I understand it.
Loading any non-GPL module will mark the Kernel as tainted, but that’s not the issue here.
The problem is that the ZFS module uses Kernel symbols that are marked as GPL-only, meaning that the Kernel will refuse to load the ZFS module as it isn’t marked as a GPL module. There isn’t any way to bypass this short of recompiling the Kernel to remove this restriction.
The legal status of this is uncertain, since a number of questions naturally arise:
1. Is it acceptable to mark a Kernel module as a GPL module (this is done via a macro in the source) but release it under a license that is not GPL-compatible?
2. Is it acceptable to recompile the Kernel to remove this restriction?
As far as I know neither of these have ever been tested, and there are differing opinions.
For a password management company, they can't even be bothered to fuzz their export functionality. QuickCheck works unreasonably well on `import(export(a)) == a`.
But maybe it's intended to be buggy, in order to keep you in their walled garden. Clearly the sync between devices works, so they have solved this problem.
Presumably they don't use CSV to sync, they're using a saner json/etc. data structure that they're not letting us export ourselves. Seriously, being limited to CSV in this day and age...
At most I imagine the plaintiff is allowed to do discovery, and then has to prove positive discrimination based on that.
> Though manufacturers cannot so easily escape liability, sellers can escape liability by informing the customer before the purchase that a product must be taken "as-is,” which means how the product was found when it was purchased in-store. “As-is” works because the buyer has an opportunity to inspect the product and decide whether to buy it given its condition.
On that analogy, Github and RedHat aren't liable, but the original author of the software still is.
