  1. Framework Laptops
    • With Coreboot firmware, Linux preinstalled
  2. Star Labs StarLite Convertible Tablet
    • Provider/contributor of Coreboot firmware
  3. System76 Servers
    • Provider/contributor of Coreboot firmware
  4. The OpenWRT One router, perhaps with AdGuard pre-installed.
  5. Mobile:
  6. Cloud services: e.g. Librem One, Murena Workspace, or Collabora Online.
    (See discussion below.)

    • Perhaps with Liberapay-type donations integrated.

    • Safe DNS and VPN etc.

  7. Other players like Purism, Pine64, or newer hardware like SiFive’s RISC-V platform could have interesting parts to play as well, though they need further investment.

cool cool cool….. Libhybris crap that is only possible because of it being hackable and has an untrusted boot sequence makes the bar but the two devices that are fully Cellbright resistant might have a role to play as well, though they need further investment. WT#@%! does that even mean?

It means, as we already knew, that the bad guys already won.

The people in my life came together and collectively created a situation where I felt pressured to install Windows on my Librem 14, and so I did. It’s like that Shakespeare story where the guy was always trying to wash the blood off his hands, but it never washes out. Can you ever really remove the Windows?

At some point, when certain things happen enough, it starts to feel like it’s not an accident. Perhaps it’s a more sinister influence trying to ensure it has access to infiltrate who we are and what we do.

In such a world, why are you surprised that a person who wants to fight for their own freedom chooses the wrong path? The fake escape ladders were likely mostly planned in advance.

Maybe the status page clarifies somewhat, but I can’t argue with needing further investment (resources).

I just realized because of the number of emojis on this website, the whole site could’ve been made in 10 minutes by an AI.

Who are these people again?

I think it would take the AI less than 10 minutes.

An AI took only 12 hours to provide a complete design for a RISC-V CPU based on a 219 word specification.

This is the first time an autonomous agent has built a working CPU from spec to GDSII layout file, according to Verkor. The resulting processor — VerCore — is a five-stage pipelined, in-order, single-issue core that met timing at 1.48 GHz on the ASAP7 7nm process design kit, scoring 3,261 on the CoreMark benchmark.

Is it trustworthy???

Now if only we had humans who could autonomously produce better DNA that would produce better humans. Then we could finally trigger the human singularity!

reality is as I said, we don’t have anything close to the magic to get four days or even one day with use playing music or audiobooks with a blanked screen. Much of it is proper use of audio and video acceleration and freezing app states when not in focus but Lineage and GraphineOS have that hard won android battery savings and we are better than seven years ago but it is still a tricky daily driver if we need to rely on a battery pod; the N900 did. Still the libhybris is a very much settling for far worse than second best.

Her hands. It’s a sheila-guy. Lady Macbeth in Macbeth. I don’t imagine that Shakespeare intended it as a metaphor for Microsoft Windows though. :rofl:

If the funds are available, you are better to buy a second computer - because of the difficulty of keeping a computer that has Windows on it clean. Out damned Microsoft!
