@RichFelker, FOSS firmware is impossible without support from hardware vendors, and right now neither Intel nor AMD are willing to make one.
@RichFelker vendors want their money, and that's about it. Use libreboot on compatible hardware if you want to be OSS from the ground up.
@NikolajSchlej It's not about money but control. Does libreboot eliminate all untrusted code between OS and hw? Coreboot doesn't.
@RichFelker @NikolajSchlej it's about the inertia of history and decades of proprietary HW eng culture: never attrib to malice...
@_jmeltzer @NikolajSchlej That would be more believable if they didn't keep inventing _new_ layers of backdoors every time we almost fix 'em
@RichFelker @_jmeltzer @NikolajSchlej don't underestimate vendor fears of un-unbrickable hardware either
@damienmiller @RichFelker @NikolajSchlej absolutely spot on... Survivability is a massive part of the associated concerns.
@_jmeltzer @damienmiller @NikolajSchlej Unbrickability does not require backdooring the system after boot.
@RichFelker @_jmeltzer @damienmiller most people don't care about backdoors or anything security-related, and you can't sell it to them.
