I may not read the source code of every tool I use, but even if the average user doesn't read the source code, having it available for inspection by others in the community increases security, trust, and overall software quality. All a user really has to do is look at the license of the software they use, typically a GPL or similar license, and consider how reputable it is. Not only that, but if you're on Linux already, you can just get most of the software from your distro's repositories.
They're owned by a for-profit company, they collect data on you by default, they've already had privacy issues in the past, and they include non-free software by default. I would rather have a beginner start off with Debian or Trisquel. We shouldn't be trapping people into these distros because then they'll potentially get too comfortable and not make the switch. This is coming from someone who did start off on Ubuntu. Sure, it's more convenient, but we should be teaching people to value freedom over convenience. Even if the data collection is minimal, it's still data.
The errors went away at boot, but nothing happens now, its just stuck. I just see the _ blinking that's it. Going to try installing Arch and see if I can get it working better.

Libreboot nowadays would most likely still contain blobs in the BIOS, but not as much as regular Coreboot. I don't know why you're being downvoted lol. If Coreboot is supported, they can port it to Libreboot.
I just got ghosted by the girl I was talking to, I want to find another girl to talk to. This girl and I met at the gym, but I don't want to be the guy that goes to the gym just to meet girls. I mean sure there's the bar and Tinder, but I want a real relationship. I mean, I guess it'll come to me.
Didn't mean it like that. The girl I just talked to came to me first. I really don't expect every girl to come of me but you're right regardless. I just was a bit sad.
The healthiest relationships stem from natural friendships because you build up a base of stuff in common and have a lot of trust before you ever make the jump to "do you wanna go out with me?"
See, that's where I fucked up. My dumbass texted her at 12AM and asked if she wanted to hang out the next day (She's usually up around that time, we both goto the gym around 11PM, which is why I thought it was okay). But we had only talked around 4-5 times, each conversation we had was good, but when it comes to texting, I fail miserably there. I think I just got too excited to meet her, and was a bit too forward. I completely messed up. Well, now I know not to do that again at least, lesson learned :(
Yeah, she's gone lol, I mean I'm 20 and she was 29 with a 9 year old kid and that's not really what I want in a relationship. But oh my god she was easily the most attractive girl I've ever talked to, both in terms of looks and personality.
Yes, I install Libreboot myself with a RaspberryPi and Pomona 5250 testing clip. Anything that's already supported by Coreboot, can be supported to Libreboot. They have a list of hardware that they currently support listed here:
I actually sold Libreboot laptops previously on eBay, I used to sell the T440p a lot. Now, I'm about to setup my own website so I can start selling them for even cheaper. I also helped add Libreboot support for the Dell Optiplex 9020/7020 (Real thanks goto Mate Kukri, as I used his Optiplex port from Coreboot).

Well, who else in the world has been trying to a pass multibillion dollar aid package to Ukraine for the past couple months? The aid is about to get voted on this weekend.
Exactly, it's not crazy to think like that. I mean, the person who said that could be right, but still, let's not immediately jump to conclusions by saying they have mental issues.
