i trawled through the openwrt forums not long ago and they admit to it.... the non-free issue is not mere opinion sadly.

i don't know what is meant here, when a vendor say proprietary blobs it pretty much means i have no idea if the thing is really secure, we are entering into a time where data is important and could mean life or death for really anyone. i just don't see how to move forward until devices are liberated. You could ask "what can a bad modem really do?" but they could do all sort of nasty things. If you asked me 15 years ago i wouldnt have cared as much, but today, i have to care. I wish i could un-care about our tools not being free, i just can't. the number of attacks against regular people are so high these days, i talk to totally random people and smart, careful people are getting into trouble, its clear that safer tools are needed.
thanks for your thoughts on the topic anyway, i wont bother u with libre-centric stuff now that i kno is not your realm.
find you on :butterfedy1: fediverse /
