Blobbed device? Perhaps, but I got it because its 7 inch ARM64 modular device.

Its no more blobbed in my opinion then anything else on the market, much less actually.

I don't agree with FSF's standards on what constitutes RYF.

And actually, more specifically, it should be RYP

Respects Your Privacy

Another words, there is no device that respects freedom 100% out there, probably never will be. 95%? Maybe... but microcode always exists in a system to some extent.
It just ain't feasible and people should accept it. RYP however would work.

Disabling the network stack of backdoors? Possible, example intel me from gen 3-12. Not sure about gen 13+

Disabling all non-free aspects replacing with new code? That isn't possible... without breaking the law.

I am not assuming he will support ARM64. It was a request. If it doesn't happen, meh w/e.

I just asked in case he would be open to it.

Although, its possible Risc-V, Openpower Microwatt and Openpower Libre-Soc will be easier to support in the ultra long term.

No idea tho.

But yeah, basically privacy can be achievable if coreboot like bios and network stack backdoor issues can be disabled.  Otherwise, no.

I honestly wonder if the corporatization of software on linux, isn't the reason why xorg and other older standards are not secure today.

It isn't exactly the corporate motto to have no bloat in operating systems. They go the other direction, microsoft is a perfect example of this.

dbus, systemd, similar nonsensical crap like that, probably has only hurt security for linux.

I sometimes wonder another words, if they are fixing a problem they created themselves.

Hmm...

Tell me if you support ARM64 in the future. I would love to use this on my pocket mnt reform. it will be a while till other options, HyperbolaBSD for example... show up.

Agree with the above.

What is probably needed, is more people should contribute to palemoon. Best of all, since the drama dev is gone, palemoon is led by Moonchild only. And he is perfectly sane. Can't say the same for the dev who used to lead with him.

My only qualm and it is a very tiny one, is that dbus is still required to run the web browser as is unless you compile yourself, etc...

Beyond that? Nothing at all.

BTW MASSIVE THING TO MENTION:

Apparently, he might be having funding issues at the moment. Just a heads up!

I guess then, do I really need that serial console to get video output? And what do I need to make it function properly period.

Thoughts?

I don't have a usb serial console currently as a heads up.

Lumina Desktop + Acer Aspire with 1GB of ram. 1.66ghz processor.

I haven't done this persay, but I have run mate, lxde and xfce4, so I bet it would work with Lumina too.

It also requires the least bloat to use of the four...

I have run the other three desktop environments on that computer before just to clarify.

Although, this was around the days of debian 7...  but I was using a linux distro with upstart and other ubuntu garbage, so... yeah.

Very clever... insert smug smile below:

Or troll face smile if you prefer...

I avoid non-organic stuff that much is something I do that is useful on this issue.

I block ads as much as possible also with regard to the data center issue I mention elsewhere.

Ads very often have spyware behind them.

Yes, I do rant too much, I guess I just get frustrated by the stupidity of my fellow human willing to surrender to google and microsoft completely and the foods that are the crappiest, etc...

Corporations, Corporations, Corporations!

The enemy never seems to change much. I would love some of these clowns to face justice on the same level of all their victims combined.

Let them choke on the crap they have been throwing at the world. Force them to have to enhale all the greenhouse gases, the crappy food and being surveiled so much that no one leaves them alone.  Same with the politicans. 

If they don't face this hell now, they will regret it later. This world's hell is just a taste of what they deserve.

For their sakes, they would be better served facing the flames of their evil now.

I say this for all the rich assholes who make money at the expense of the world using the cheapest most short term moneymakers possible.

Especially when long term moneymakers are likely to exist too.

Its just a greed cycle tho.

They want to feel good about themselves by hoarding money. Just to feed their damn egos...

Aye... madness.

Now I am curious what REXTON said that was so vile...

very strange.

A liar, a thief, a crazy psychopath, a nutjob and depraved person go into a bar and the bartender says, "mr former president, how can I help you?

xD

I tried devuan's newest stable, its really a tricky thing to deal with.

I don't recommend switching to it if you expect to use synaptic without problems.

Wayland crap gets in the way preventing sudo synaptic.

Very irritating I must say.
