[Wow, thanks, I'm cured. My wifi card magically stopped existing and now

everything is happy unicorns farting put rainbows that spawn free puppies and
|

everything is saved forever.<br /><br />Again, that doesn't help me with the
|
||||
situation that my wifi card doesn't work and I as a user want it to even though
|
||||
making it work will require proprietary firmware. This shit is how you get
|
||||
things like the "GPL condom" in the Purism Librem phone, where all the
|
||||
proprietary firmware is rigged to be loaded automagically in hardware instead of
|
||||
sofware. This limits your ability to tinker with or modify the firmware _even if
|
||||
there are legitimate reasons such as critical updates_. So by making the
|
||||
hardware work with fully free software you have limited the ability to actually
|
||||
improve the state of the world even with the proprietary firmware the
|
||||
manufacturer gives you.](conversation://Cadey/angy)
