Lol, I'm pretty sure I found your Dread account too, weren't that hard to find 😂

You're completely disregarding the fact that they could possibly implement a malicious firmware update/supply-chain attack. Saying Apple is not capable of hacking their own systems is such a ridicoulously unbelievable statement.

Why not?

Oh, so we're going straight to insults because your ego got hurt? That's cute.

Now explain to me this, how could I possibly show you one shred of evidence if their systems are proprietary? Oh right, I can't because they don't provide the source code to nearly any of their software.

See how this works?

Saying Apple "can't" put a backdoor into their own devices is an absolute claim, they're the ones who control the software, so it's possible in principle. Business incentives and bug bounties reduce the risks sure, but they don't eliminate the pressure or legal mechanisms major governments can apply. Snowden’s documents showed that governments have methods to compel or exploit access, and implementation flaws or covert agreements can defeat cryptography in practice.

I do have a solid foundation in how these systems work. You should read the GNU Manifesto and learn about Free Software, it explains why blind confidence in a completely proprietary stack is to remain untrusted. No one should ever be this certain a proprietary system will always respect users rights.

Do you really trust these proprietary systems to do what they say they're doing? Sure, the key may be stored locally, but an OS backdoor or compromise could still exfiltrate it, giving users a false sense of security.

project gets ripped up and thrown in the trash

I fixed it lol

That would be interesting. Maybe a separate ISO could be created for someone like you. The only issue with using OpenBSD instead of Linux is that OpenBSD’s network stack is much different from Linux’s, which could potentially worsen your anonymity because so few people use OpenBSD. For now, I would at least try to provide optional non‑systemd Debian templates with OpenRC or runit. I do love the minimilist setup though, your other ideas are definitely noted.

There is FOSS alternatives out there like Revolt or just plain old IRC which is good enough imo. The Discord bullshit is so annoying.

Oh wow I didn't know that. They're from Crucial / Micron, also its DDR3L ECC RAM (8GB x 4) so hopefully they'll accept. Thank you for the information!

I agree with what you said, but, you're literally using his social media site and most likely paying for that blue checkmark. No offense.

Never forget.

Meh, I mean, Arch includes non-free software as well, so as a Trisquel user, you are all dead to me.

6 weeks?

Well, just uploaded a photo of someone else now it says this...

It's gross indeed, I've just never seen anyone say it online or in person, yet.

Even though this VW is fully electric, the transmission will still find a way to blow up.

No. Avoid this by switching to a free operating system such as Debian. Windows is proprietary, there is no hope for privacy there.

Libreboot.

I provided testing and funding (not as a developer) for computers like the 9020, 9010, 7010, and 780 OptiPlex, as well as the E4300 Latitude and T1700 Precision. All it takes is some collaboration with others in the community to make it possible!

You have to be REALLY sensitive to get offended by this.
