What can we do to avoid being in the hardware-level-botnet?
Can we switch to a cpu manufacturer that respects the users' freedom?

install parabola or trisquel GNU/Linux-libre on a thinkpad laptop with libreboot. make sure to run exclusively free open source GPL licsenced software too.
>>57506990
What CPU manufacturer respects your freedom? Intel and AMD? No. Unless you're thinking about some obscure embedded system or something

Debian on an ARM SoC, plenty are powerful enough for a DE.

Arm has Trustzone or some shit. risc-v.
>>57507149
We need to make risc-v popular then, so that major distros support it.
>>57506990
any 15-20 y.o. chip will do the trick.
Otherwise build a computer from scrap.
>>57507085
damn, that sounds tempting
>>57507149
Nothing wrong with Trustzone if you control the OS and firmware. Learn what it is
>>57506990
We know, it's called the management engine, and mine is disabled via libreboot.

おk。
SuperH is the solution my man.

SPARC, MIPS...

Buy pre-9/11 hardware. Man the cyberpunk future could be awesome. Rebels using non-backdoored legacy hardware, speaking in code and whispers to avoid pervasive voice recognition, etc

Having nothing to hide. It doesn't matter if a government has unrestricted access to your computer.
RMS WAS RIGHT

>american-jewish CPU
yeah no
If you're on the internet you're already on the botnet.

Intel has had a confirmed back door for a long ass time

Better than american one.

Trips convinced me. Selling all my tech and buying a bunch of legacy shit.
