Any desktops/laptops/motherboards/SoCs that do not require closed-source firmware blobs out there?

Ironically, telling people to get a ``normal computer'' encourages governmental and corporate spying and control, thus tightening the grip of your hypothetical jewish conspiracy on mankind.

I'm not quite an rms-level nutjob, but I am privacy-conscious and it's frustrating having to explain my computing habits and preferences to people. I don't want to preach and I don't want to seem weird, but people pry and probe. When people ask why ``my Windows'' doesn't have Microsoft Word or why I don't have a Facebook, I feel as though I'm massively responsible. Like when you make someone watch a film and they hate it, you feel awkward about it even though you didn't make the film.

I doubt most of my fellow tinfoil hat-wearing OpenBSD users have friends, but for those of you do, how do you deal with all of this?

Be hypocrite, try to make them feel good and superior. Pretend you don't know shit. Your Windows doesn't have a Microsoft Word because it's a cheaper and dumber Windows. You don't have a facebook because you don't know how to open an account.

Ask them questions. "Wow, you're telling me that you can speak to anybody with your facebook? You got to show me that sometimes."

They already think you're an idiot. It's easy.

What do you have against RMS' positions (not him as a toejam-munching individual)?

how do you deal with all of this?
If your friends have a few hours to waste, then you may do a short presentation on your computing habits and choices.
- Give a few examples of abuses of power by ``nice and democratic'' governments and their security agencies, then use that to ``prove'' the need for the right to privacy.
- Give a few examples of abuses of power by corporations in the field of software.
- Explain how a string of bytes shorter than this phrase can compromise the security of a computer, then use that to ``prove'' the inherent unsafety of closed-source software.
- Explain how privacy in the digital world is impossible without computer security.

Lots of ARM dev boards need to use a proprietary bootloader; not sure if those are any different.

If such a jewish conspiracy really existed (which it doesn't outside your crazy little brain), then ``they'' would fight for banning cryptography so that they can detect and silence dissent.
