i wish "free software" wasn't as associated with FSF's antics, which is only concerned about orthodoxically adherring to certain set in stone standards and not really concerned about practical freedom -- having a maintainable codebase, being minimalist, easy to modify, not a nightmare to build, etc. i'm saying this as someone who used to (mostly) adher to their hypocritical moral purity crap. according to the FSF, gnu/linux-libre and replicant are free software while openbsd, netbsd, postmarketos, etc. are entirely nonfree software and must therefore be avoided, and this is all pretty much just because of proprietary firmware blobs and a small amount of proprietary software being available in the repos. uploadable proprietary blobs that you can theoretically reverse engineer and replace will always be preferable to embedded unchangable firmware and the only reason why anyone thinks otherwise is because they orthodoxically adher to set-in-stone poorly thought out GNU standards instead of actually thinking for themselves for a second. i once tried to modify a android program and even the replicant sdk based on a ancient ass android version was already bloated to unimaginable degrees, how tf can i execute my 4 essential freedoms if it's so fucking difficult and requires a super computer, fuck no, this is not free software, you just neutered google open source shit.
