The sad part is that it took RMS making excuses for sex trafficking for him to get kicked out. He's been a hindrance to the free software movement for many years now, in technical/licensing/endorsement/general image matters.

Call me when the FSF isn't actively hurting the cause for hardware freedon by having bass-ackwards certification rules that result in designs where non-free parts are made invisible and untouchable and unfreeable.

They have a "secondary processor exception" that requires nonfree firmware to be hidden and immutable, leading to nonsense like this:https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-solving-the-first-fsf-ryf-hurdle/ …

Replying to @marcan42
Wow, that is some straight-up bullshit right there. 100% agreed with you on this, this does not increase freedom or protect it.

You still don't get it, do you? Updatable non-free firmware *ensures* the hardware behaves in a known way by letting *you* check that the damn firmware file is what you expect it to be. If firmware is invisible and hidden then *you* can't check in any way that it is correct.

There is no FSF audit. They don't go disassembling proprietary firmware to see if it's doing anything evil. And even if they did, that audit could simply come with a SHA256 manifest of /lib/firmware files. Seriously, your argument is completely ridiculous.
