Proprietary code is evil, binary blobs are evil, because you have no control of what is running on YOUR hardware, hardware YOU PURCHASED. What is so hard to understand about that ? It is YOUR HARDWARE, not Intel's, not Microsoft's, Apple's, the NSA's or GHCQ's ... it is yours.

As Snowden put it, we can only be safe if some software layer is on top of proprietary hardware.

That's a lie, you can go to jail or get a fine for trying to use a piece of proprietary software by some fucktard like you.

until you realize it's very easy to not execute binaries that aren't digitally signed by the company who made the hardware making any kind of reverse engineering pointless unless the private signing keys leak.
i mean it happens, M$ secure boot keys got leaked.
