What exactly is the point of libreboot?
>>107695906>librebootto rid your system of glowniggers before doing stuff that would have severe consequences if glowniggers ever got wind of it
>>107695942But it doesn't do anything coreboot doesn't. It used to have the "no binary blobs" selling point but then Leah Rowe declared the FSF her mortal enemies and put the blobs back in.

>>107695906It's disappointing that Libreboot had chosen to make nonfree images, for the goal of supporting more hardware.The biggest danger to freedom is still the Intel Management Engine and it is not completely disabled on platforms with CPUs newer than Core 2. You'd have to trust Intel that the boot process doesnt do anything malicious.

>>107695983Absolutely retarded take. If you want classic Libreboot, then use Canoeboot. Modern Libreboot needed to evolve to include more devices. >>107696644It's a pragmatic choice. Fun fact, there is no way that devices like the X230 or T480 will ever, ever, ever, be able to run without some proprietary firmware. You people need to grow the fuck up and accept the reality of the situation on x86 CPUs.
>>107696983>It's a pragmatic choice.Exactly the same pragmatism that led to the arbitrary revision of the Debian Social Contract.>Fun fact, there is no way that devices like the X230 or T480 will ever, ever, ever, be able to run without some proprietary firmware. Which is why they don't get the FSF's RYF Certification. Why not take a look at something like the Talos II, which doesn't require any?The narrative that we simply *need* proprietary firmware is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The original PlayStation was built with hardware-backed DRM in mind from day 1, but thanks to the reverse engineering efforts by PCSX-Redux, it now has a fully libre bios replacement (which, as it so happens, has now been integrated into libreboot and canoeboot). Obviously modern configurations like those with Intel ME and AMD PSP will be much more difficult than a 90s game console, but that's all the more reason to take a hardline stance. I'm a little more hopeful about ARM devices in the medium-term than x86.
>>107697172nigger the talos 2 is an overpriced dumpster fire and it isn't a laptop
>>107697275Xey said devices, not laptops. The TERES-I is a fully libre laptop, though it doesn't have the RYF Certification.

>>107696644The Management Engine is the most studied proprietary software on Earth. If the gay netsec nerds that haunt defcon and C3 say that a cleaned ME is neutralized and isn't nefarious, it's probably because it's neutralized and isn't nefarious. Eddy Snowden uses a Thinkpad with a cleaned ME, and I think he's got more skin in the game than some random gay freetard on /g/ - Video Games.
