In the past it was easier to have a reasonable level of freedom.
Pushing forward would mean pushing towards proprietary software.
>LibreJS isn't something in the style of GreaseMonkey to enforce the four freedoms, it's just a blocker.
LibreJS does exactly as it is marked - it only allows JavaScript marked as free software (or trivial JS).
If you want the ability to replace the JavaScript of webpages, install Haketilo.
>RYF hardware certification also isn't pushing for making all software modifiable, but instead has the effect of building a fucking wall around the main free software components with preferring that proprietary software be kept unmodifiable.
More FUD huh?
The RYF has a *temporary exception* for secondary processors simply because they couldn't approve any hardware at all about it.
If "software" is unmodifiable by anyone (i.e both the user and the manufacturer/seller/business), then that's not software, that's hardware.
The FSF has no comment on proprietary hardware.
If you have a problem with software on the secondary processors, then it's up to you to replace it and thus put an end to the exception.
Once an exception is no longer required, it's withdrawn - sellers of hardware need to use the libre replacements within a reasonable timeframe or the devices will be dropped from the certification.
