@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.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@_jmeltzer@NikolajSchlej That would be more believable if they didn't keep inventing _new_ layers of backdoors every time we almost fix 'em2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@damienmiller@RichFelker@NikolajSchlej absolutely spot on... Survivability is a massive part of the associated concerns.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@RichFelker@_jmeltzer@damienmiller if you want a trustable PC - you have to use open HW, otherwise you have to trust Intel and their BLOBs1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@NikolajSchlej@_jmeltzer@damienmiller I really wish the open HW movement would focus on making drop-in repl for Intel & AMD chipsets.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
