[Rant] I hate the modern internet
(lemmy.world)
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
aaand there's intel management engine and amd platform security procesor which undermine your foss efforts on most platforms
AMD (for that matter, any other processor manufacturer) isn't off the hook either - eg. see "Platform Security Processor". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Platform_Security_Processor
They've been locking processors to individual motherboards and eliminating second-hand resale value for "enterprise" hardware in the name of "security" too: https://www.servethehome.com/amd-psb-vendor-locks-epyc-cpus-for-enhanced-security-at-a-cost/
If that was our only problem and most people would be using FLOSS software I'd be happy. Intel ME is bad but you can have a "good enough" usage of tech today.
