[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)
