I'm giving up on the Librem 5

I almost certainly have been aware about such things long before you became aware and, at least at the software level, probably know more about it than you do.

Its interesting how they don’t know you but you know them.

You might have noted that I said “almost certainly” and “probably”. Also, I’ve paid attention to what they’ve told me about themselves. Thus it was more about an expression of what I know about me vs. what they have told me about themselves:

For example: I'm giving up on the Librem 5 - #64 by Christal

Also another example shows that their concerns started in 2003 and I happen to know my concerns and experience started much earlier than that (e.g. I started using Linux in 1994. My main OS before that was NeXTStep (mach/unix) on the NeXT and SunOS Unix on Sun. I was an early supporter of the EFF in that time frame. I started programming in the late 70’s, which was fairly early vs. most people) . Here’s where they say that their concerns started in 2003:

@Christal

From that point of view, i did not trust any google, microsoft or apple since 2003. I check the source and the behavior of systems and source code, and compile software by myself from the source to be sure. And just use offline software, without server code as much as i can.

So I think I was well-justified in my statements. I know you were intending to be sarcastic and dismissive. Again.
