Verry good article.
But with individuals, when someone shares their excitement for data privacy, when someone shares their PrivacyProduct™️ recommendation that, even if imperfect, is still a great tool without misleading information, then we should all celebrate and support this.
This. 100%. We can and should point out imperfections, but we shouldn't stomp an improvement it into the ground just because it is not 100% perfect.

I'll repost an old comment of mine, since it's relevant:
Make your fed earn his salary!
Fuck u Joe.
There are some working on making open source processors. These being fabricated in a similar way to modern silicon dies.
But also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eo8l7HP-9U
You can make your own processor, it might just be a little (!) less powerful than what you're used to.
I know the point is PRIVACY, but I believe if we put effort toward it, these obstacles can be overcome. Then we can move closer to full privacy on our computers/phones.
My original comment was under a hardware thread, but the main interest of it was the paper i linked. The paper itself is better suited to the article but my commentary is not haha.
I'm very excited for the development of these open source processors, but the average person is probably not going to build their own hardware (for obvious reasons 😅) But i think this is still a huge step for transparency!
The original point of the paper was for software, which is arguably more malicious (and what the article was talking about) Almost no one can build their entire environment from pure scratch (from the OS to the browser) and even then, how can you prove that the toolchain itself is not malicious or backdoored?
My point ultimately is that most of this does not matter. There is something close to "true privacy" but never 100%. Privacy is about tradeoffs and compromises, it is still better than exposing yourself completely to the open.
Do you not think Purism's Librem laptop actually disable Intel ME?
Purism is a scam company
