So far, we've lacked the resources, not the intention. This is a legitimate
concern, but what you're doing here is trying to make it look like we lack
the intent. Once again, you are attempting to slander the libreboot project.
Did you release something tangible that people can actually use? No, you
didn't. We did, and we're about to do it a whole lot more. Just you watch.

I don't give a fuck whether you're for or against the libreboot project. It
will continue, with or without your approval.
Libreboot is not wasted effort. We are providing a solution today, and almost
noone else is. We're working every day to push things forward, in ways that
you are intellectually and creatively incapable.

I agree with this part.

It makes zero difference. Lenovo will continue to exist, regardless of what
we do in the libreboot project. I doubt that our "contribution" to them, if
any, is more than a tiny drop in a vast ocean.

Illicit? I'm pretty sure RE is legal in Europe, but whatever.
We're doing what we can to improve things, and I would like to see more
people contributing to libreboot directly. I work every day to try to make
this happen.
> Not by any means. We didn't want to do it- you pushed us into it.
What? I'm pretty sure that's not the case. But OK, have it your way.
> There are plenty of people who disagree with me. And thats fine. But you

That's right, but they don't call you out on your BS, like I'm now doing.

not.
You see, this is why people should stop taking you seriously. The libreboot
project is doing what you failed to do, and what the FSF has called for for
many years. We're making progress, and we'll get to where we all want to be
in the end.
The difference is that we just do it. We don't wait. This is why the
libreboot project is so successful.
> I don't care what-so-ever about libreboot
Yep. That much is certain to me. Another reason why I don't take you
seriously at all.
> We don't need libreboot or coreboot *at all* and never have.
Tell that to the FSF. And I dare you to say that to the coreboot developers.
They'll shoot your down, for being the ignorant, misinformed twit that you
are.
> Also reverse engineering is not the ideal solution
Agreed. See my previous comments about producing own hardware (it's also
listed as a priority task on the libreboot website).
What I see in your comments, is that you clearly aren't the type of person
that we need to push things forward. Libreboot is one such project that has
pushed things forward, and is continuing to do so. There are also many
others, none of which you are involved with.
