@anarchopunk_girl @isf @freedo The goal isn't to make the system less secure but reject a power imbalance that exists with all proprietary software. The microcode should be free for all of the same reasons that any software should be free. At present we can't make our own updates - In the current scenario, only Intel/AMD can do this, which if you think about it places them in a position of power over users. Is it *more* right that only Intel & AMD can do this?
