@NikolajSchlej Ideally BIOS should not even exist, much less control access, and fully-FOSS OS should control the metal completely.
@_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. -
@NikolajSchlej@_jmeltzer@damienmiller This kind of condescending attitude towards non-technical users is not helpful or reasonable. -
@NikolajSchlej@_jmeltzer@damienmiller No users, technical or not, want their computer to be remote-backdoored via eth/3g/etc.

@RichFelker@_jmeltzer@damienmiller what they really want are good backward compatibility and a bunch new features at the same time.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@RichFelker@_jmeltzer@damienmiller if you want a trustable PC - you have to use open HW, otherwise you have to trust Intel and their BLOBs -
@NikolajSchlej@_jmeltzer@damienmiller Most people don't have that choice, and they shouldn't have to make it. This is WRONG. -
@NikolajSchlej@_jmeltzer@damienmiller I really wish the open HW movement would focus on making drop-in repl for Intel & AMD chipsets. -
@RichFelker@NikolajSchlej@_jmeltzer@damienmiller So much litigation down that road, including submarine patents. -
@landley@NikolajSchlej@_jmeltzer@damienmiller That's what makes it exciting and disruptive. ;-) -
@RichFelker@NikolajSchlej@_jmeltzer@damienmiller if you're going to clone big iron hardware rather than arm, why not just do s390? -
@landley@NikolajSchlej@_jmeltzer@damienmiller S390 is worthless cos no1 uses it on pc. x86 only matters as the well-supported pc platform -
@landley@NikolajSchlej@_jmeltzer@damienmiller And the goal is to use commodity high-perf pc cpus but with non-backdoored chipset. - 7 more replies
