Every day we stray farther from the premise that we should be allowed to install / modify software on the computers we own.

Will once again re-up the concept of a “right to root access”, to prevent big corps from pulling this bs over and over again: https://medhir.com/blog/right-to-root-access

There is no chance that we own our computers unless we figure out how to setup chip manufacturing factories at the 10 million dollar price point.

Without commoditized hardware, big capital will surely be in control of software.

This is something the folks in the Permacomputing space have been discussing on and off for years.

Maybe we can make chips at the level of a 386 but they would be freedom respecting.

Starting to sound like Stallman again.
