Why is /g/ so delusional about how free they really are?

There is no proof of a backdoor. Therefore there is no backdoor.
RMS himself uses an intel processor.

>RMS himself uses an intel processor.
Unless I've missed a memo, when did he change from his chink computer? I forget what he was running but it was some shitty open source computer.

no he does not and he's a jew himself

>no proof
the latest intel chips require proprietary software to even load.

Proprietary software controls the user. It *can* intentionally allow backdoors and therefore is malware.

For a while he was using a Thinkpad x60 with LibreBoot and Trisquel, so unless he's changed since then he's using an Intel processor. Only the software on the computer is open source, not the hardware itself (although considering they managed to make their own BIOS for it, it's likely it's been reverse engineered to the point that any hardware backdoors would be glaringly obvious). I don't think he's changed his computer since then, or at least the page he has up on his website doesn't make that clear.
>>
>>53762893
Huh I guess you're right. Wonder when he switched.

I gave up on facebook back in 2010. Google is never logged in. Of course facebook doesn't access my local files in my system.

just the fact that you had facebook is bad enough. At the very least your name, email and general browsing habits are available to marketers. You're just making sure they only have old data as opposed to new one

face it, most of us were too young to know better when the cookie/social media cancer started and everyone was being tracked all the time
>>
>>53763813
>At the very least your name, email and general browsing habits are available to marketers
So one of the very fundamental thing they teach you in database management is gathering uptodate data. The browsing patterns from half a dacade ago is not relevant to the market any more
>>
>>53763864
they likely don't have the time or resources to sift through individual entries by date of acquiry and just buy in bulk. The argument isn't that it's good info but that it's out there
>>
>>53763896
Yes, what they have (browsing pattern) is obsolete. Privacy leakage has to be a constant process. Snapshots are not useful

How does that even work? I mean hw is on a lower level than the OS, how can it connect to the network?
>>
>>53762821
What does it matter if most of the network equipment and infrastructure has backdoors built right in?
>>
>>53766657
>>53762861
In theory, once PC boot, it'll load BIOS/UEFI, do some hw initialization then exit.
After that, real OS will load.

What happen on certain Intel mainboard is, once PC boot, it'll load BIOS/UEFI but instead of exit, it'll running underground while loading real OS.
But, instead of identified as rogue program, it's marketed as Sytem Management Mode (SMM).
You can google LightEater for an example of SMM rootkit.

Not enough with that, there's also Intel Management Engine.

Google "x86 considered harmful" for details.

Wow so is the kernel of my processor going to use its very advanced algorithms to analyze all data on my computer? Then the processor is going to sort it out, and send it trough built-in internet over Intel so that they can use all our private data to develop faster processors right?

Oh shut the fuck up you absolute faggot. No one gives a fuck. You are not important enough to fucking spy on. You use something, you use a fucking service, they have the info needed on you to best provide and improve that fucking service.

Fucksake.

You know what, the fucking library has my information. You think the fucking library are going to break into my fucking house because they know my social security number? No you fucking tinfoil hat wearing faggot.

You are a fucking contrarian. You absolute knob.

I'd rather be a contrarian than contradict myself. Data to "Improve" the service without my consent is spying.

You sound like the sort of faggot who also claims 'all taxation is theft'. Fuck yourself you absolute fucking homo. Go and live in a fucking shed in the woods. You really think Microsoft and Google hire teams of hundreds of people to spend hours trawling through the files and browsing history of everyone who uses their services? You really think you're that important? No. Fucking absolute faggot.

No one cares about what you do. Stop trying to make yourself seem more important 'hurr I need to use Linux and port all my traffic through an anonymous VPN or 'The Man' will know where I buy my boyfriends avocados from'

God I fucking hate freetards.

I don't use the MS stuff because I don't like the thought of being locked down and controlled by proprietary software.

Sure, I'm not a coder, but I can study and learn to read it or pay friends for it.

You sound incredibly mad with no justification, but more importantly you sound incredibly wrong.
>You really think Microsoft and Google hire teams of hundreds of people to spend hours trawling through the files and browsing history of everyone who uses their services
You really thing that's relevant? I don't care if my data is only ever looked at by computers, it's none of that computer's business.

>No one cares about what you do.
If they didn't care, they wouldn't store it.

>The Man
I find this amusing too, since corporations (and no, I'm not some anti-capitalist, environmentalist revolutionary type either.) are significantly scarier than "The Man" (NSA/GCHQ, etc.) and tend to portray themselves as the exact inverse of "The Man"

Keep drinking that kool-aid, you statist faggot. Are you really so naive as to think that nobody in power will ever use these capabilities for their own personal gain? Do you trust all of your future leaders to not abuse the system, to silence/blackmail political dissidents, protesters, and whistleblowers, and to expand their own power and influence?

Oh, but I guess I shouldn't care about the implications that could have on democracy as long as they're not focusing on my porn, right?

You shortsighted dumbass.
