     …You might already know about this, but https://h-node.org is a project by the @fsf that helps people to identify #computers that they can use.

     It can be pretty tricky to find #hardware that is #ethical but by running a basic command and checking the peripherals listed by their Vendor and Product IDs (that look like "[3fc2:001b]") one can often quickly identify if a device will be suited to them, as #FreedomSoftware Enjoyers.

     I appreciate the heads up! I'll fix it site wide sometime soon!

     @gabriel
     Excellent, do tell us when you've done it.

     On a related note, and (see next)…

     Hi Gabe, we are skimming over your brilliant work.

     One little tidbit you might like to know. It's https://libreboot.at and not #librebootOrg that accords to fully #FOSS boot firmware for ones device. The latter allows #proprietaryBlobs and we know they are bad.

     People are having to go to some pains to inform others about this, so don't feel bad that you didn't know.
