God it's so fucking tiresome. The exact same shit repeated Ad Nauseum "Racist! Fascist! Far right! Bigot!" I am beyond giving a shit. There used to be a time when I would have wanted to compromise and tell these people to calm down but I am way bayond that. They have shown that they don't care at all and they will continue until they have complete submission and victory.

It's hard for me to take their histrionics seriously when many of the people in the far-left open-source community are open apologists for Lenin, Stalin and other communist dictators. It's always a "moral rules for me, but not for thee." non-sense. Even the over-use of "fascism" was a common Stalinist tactic.

Because of a certain event, I've been receiving a lot of questions today about Libreboot computers sold on https://minifree.org/

To clarify:

Yes, I sell Libreboot preinstalls. Libreboot is a free/opensource BIOS/UEFI firmware replacement based on coreboot. It offers security and performance benefits versus proprietary firmware, for example better encryption:

https://libreboot.org/docs/linux/grub_hardening.html

I'm Libreboot's founder / lead developer.

Debian LInux preinstalled. Other Linux distros and BSDs also work.

And no, I'm not going to comment on said event. It's none of my business. I was asked to comment about it, but I won't. I'm sure people know what I'm talking about. But let's just say, some people need to be a bit nicer to others, and have better judgement.

I do Libreboot, and that's what I love doing. That's what I'll continue doing. I'm doing it right now.

I will however offer some timely wisdom:

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Does anyone have any idea what he's talking about? He says it like its common knowledge. Guess it lines up with the ongoing Framework drama, so it could just be that. Can't see anything in the typical Core/Libre/GNU/Whateverboot channels.

Havent really done much research on the topić yet, why cant someone install libreboot themselves?
Click to expand...
They can, it just requires a bit of time and fiddling with SOIC chips and hardware flashers. Takes like an hour or two at most, like 10$ worth of gear and the ability to read a manual, but that's already 3x the amount of effort most people are willing to invest. Francis sells an installation service or preinstalled Libreboot on T480/s and OptiPlex 3050 Micro machines as a business. Honestly, as overpriced as his stuff is, its still better than buying ye olde Coreboot Clevo shit box.

On another note, I couldn't resist, have some screenies:

For context, i would like to point to the below post.
Hi, I am not exactly sure how best to frame this, but recent events have got me wondering where exactly Framework, as a company, stands with regards to human rights and equality. If I understand correctly (and please do correct me if I am wrong), it seems like Framework has started sponsoring Hyprland: So I presume this is fact: Framework, as a company, has decided to sponsor a Wayland compositor who is well known to be led as a rather “toxic and hateful community”. Separately, but on the …
Click to expand...

With that context provided, i am making this post because i believe outspoken withdrawal of financial support is necessary if i wish to support any chance for this to change.


Framework’s response to the above post is, in my opinion, absolutely unacceptable- to dismiss all further discussion of the matter as “a discussion that cannot be nuanced”, even as the original poster attempted to provide further nuance to the faults of the “big tent” approach paints the original poster in an inherently “unreasonable” light, and i would argue very intentionally.


The Paradox of Tolerance is a long-proven concept, and something that is exercised frequently in the open-source community due specifically to the behaviours of figures like the Hyprland developer. This is not “political”, it is necessary, and anyone who would say otherwise would not only tolerate, but support people who would be intolerant of others within the community. How long would it have been until i, a transfem person, been the one spoken out against by a major developer, only for them to later be financially supported by Framework? When you stand on neither side, you- unfortunately, perhaps, but still- support the oppressor. That is the fact of the matter.


Not to mention, there is nothing “political” about removing people from the community who ACTIVELY politicize software development by weaponising their platform to spread hateful beliefs. We remove people who inherently politicize this community.


It’s my opinion that this “big tent” theory acted as a dogwhistle to begin with, because the mention of it drew in droves of people who went on to outwardly support the “apolitical viewpoint” of a businessperson who is financially supporting software developers who politicize software development. Make that make sense.


While i do not fault the company for attempting to adopt a policy to support all open-source software development, to make such a display of not financially but also verbally supporting these figures on their social media, and then to- when questioned- dismiss and subtly besmirch the original poster, whilst providing no advice of a platform in which that “nuanced discussion” can be had, and invite so far bad-faith discussion on “political division” is incredibly disappointing, and as a result, i feel it necessary to provide my own outspoken withdrawal of any further support of this company, and i urge anyone affected by this controversy to create their own posts in addition to mine. Give them numbers. Tell them what they’re losing if they continue to cowtow to racists.


This is not intended for the community to comment on- because quite frankly, the community response to the post above gives me very, very little hope of “convincing” anyone that this behaviour is unacceptable. This community seems to be comprised largely of “centrists” who just sit on the fence and stand in favor of oppressors, and quite frankly, i post this full-well understanding that my response will be deemed “unreasonable”, “extreme”, and “political”, when this is not an “unreasonable” or “un-nuanced” discussion. Nuance was given, nuance was denied, and nuance was created through the bad-faith response to Nirav’s dogwhistle.


Stop supporting racists.

I legit didn't mind all the freaks, cross-dressers and weirdo's.
Until they started doing this type of shit. Like, the zeroes was a good time.

When it comes to the coding troons, the only thing they are better at, women-things wise, than women, is being fucking intolerant feckless cunts.

So you know what? Fine. I DO want total tranny death. I DO want to deport all non whites. I DO want to establish ethnostates for white people. I don't care anymore. It makes no difference if I actually want these things or not since disagreeing with these "people" results in such acusations anyway so I might as well go for it. I don't fucking care any more! Or as the original fascists would say: "Me ne frego!"

The article itself is just the same old "we need a new license to defeat capitalism" slop, I expected and it shouts out the following list of licenses: the Opinionated Queer License, the ml5.js license, the ACAB license, the Anti-Capitalist Software License, the Black Open Source Software (BOSS) License, the Anyone But Richard M. Stallman license, the Non-White-Heterosexual-Male License, the Satania Daiakuma License and even presents some unholy abomination, that combines parts from them all.

The whole time skimming though this shit, it just becomes more and more obvious, they're searching for the "+ nigger" license, as that's the solution that in one word, immediately and reliably solves most (if not all) the major "problems" described. They're just not allowed, to come to that conclusion, so they have to put endless text about forklifts, Palestine liberation and tranny protests in there and pretend, that does the same thing, rather than just make it more dated and retarded, as time goes on.

oh boy i bet these all violate freedom 0 and disqualifies software under these licenses from actually being free or open source software
relevant: why antifa bullshit licenses are completely retarded

i hope framework just ignores these people
there are some signs that people are finally starting to get sick of this shit, all across the political spectrum. every now and then you see a troon running hyprland or something and nobody makes a big deal about it
all that needs to happen now is for professional crybullies to get btfo'd a few times until they learn that karlpopperposting and redefining "fascism" until the word completely snaps is not as great a trick as it once was

Me ne frego! It literally addresses your retarded non-sequiteur point

Italiano​
English​
È strano c'è un ascaro che è allegro
È negro ma parla in italiano
Per provar che parla bene
Proprio come si conviene
Ripete a perdifiato tutto il dì
Me ne frego non so se ben mi spiego
Me ne frego con quel che piace a me
Me ne frego non so se ben mi spiego
Me ne frego con quel che piace a me.		It is strange that there is an askari all cheerful
He's a negro but speaks in Italian
To prove that speaks well
Just as it is proper
Repeats at breakneck speed all day
I do not care I do not know if I explain myself
I do not care with what I like
I do not care I do not know if I explain myself
I do not care with what I like.

This is current year, my friend, the jokes are over. Ten years ago I too laughed at the 40 genders.jpg, I was so sure it was a joke. But some of those young impressionable kids, often autistic, who take things at face value, seem to end up adopting those "jokes" as their entire identities and never let go of them for whatever reason. So here we are.
