>today I learned that even Free Software Foundation allows proprietary firmware blobs on their certified "Free" hardware >today I learned that there is no network hardware (including modems in phones etc.) without proprietary firmware blobs >today I learned that there is proprietary firmware blobs in RISC-V, Raptor Talos II etc. >today I learned that GrapheneOS, LineageOS, ReplicantOS, Pinephone, Librem etc. all call home to Google and has proprietary firmware blobs and closed modem >today I learned that all dumb phones have proprietary firmware blobs, closed modem and 24/7 location tracking >8 of the 4chan moderators are FBI and spam anti-FOSS propaganda, advertise Brave, Windows and macOS 24/7 (did come out after 4chan hack) Still remember, every tiny step towards privacy and security matters. It sounds retarded if you use Windows 11, Steam and only change from Brave to Librewolf, but it helps. If you switch to Linux but still use Steam, it still helps. If you fear wifi 3D scan technology and devices that can listen you from far away, it still helps if you don't have internet connected proprietary camera system inside of your house. Don't stress about it. Also, have fun. Try Qubes OS just for fun. Maybe check if you can install OpenWRT and if you are ok with it, try buying used supported router and install LibreCMC. Yes, even that certified "Free" LibreCMC router has proprietary firmware blobs, but eating as little shit as possible always helps even if these steps feel tiny and useless.
>>534787 Nothing new under the sun, it makes me remember the first time I installed linux and desperately tried to make the wifi work with the command line. I miss 2010. Never asked yourself why Intel is still making nic even at a loss and why it is in every corporate laptop and why the aforementioned laptop refuses to boot with anything else ? The answer is compatibility with the management engine.
>>534787 I wrote a backdoor into some lee-bray sound drivers, and it's been in the official repos for like 15 years now. Nobody looks or checks or gives a shit. It's all an act.
