yes. I was talking about Purism Librem. I say Librem is a scam. Not this LibreTrend thing. I only said that this Libretrand reminded me of that other thing (the other thing is a scam - Purism librem).

Saying "this laptop is free software friendly" is ok. Impling that it contains 100% free software is NOT ok.

What I really don't like is the Librem (purism) and I repeat - librem is a scam.

That being said, I think both are a bad thing. There are very few people in the world that care about free software and even fewer are those who care about computers running with only free software (BIOS and firmware included). It is a bad thing, a very bad thing if those very few give their money to these pseudo-free projects. The people who care about freedom should financially support gluglug and those companies that actually do something to free the hardware (the libreboot project for instance). People shall NOT give money to those who promise nonsense (read the article I linked above about the librem) or those who imply their computers contain only feee software, while that is absolutely not true..
