If for-profit companies are able to effectively shout down and sideline open source projects, without any real merit to their assertions, what the fuck are we even doing here?

What is this post about? I’m missing the context.
Yeah it's frustrating. The stm32l ROM code is a black box, as is the atecc608 microcode. Even riscv CPUs have closed source IP in the analog domain especially.
This industry is torturing it's users with a complexity that's not needed. I'm sure more bitcoin has been lost in HWW from bad UX than stolen from some security failure.
We've lost the forrest from the trees.
But hey, sponsorship of podcasts, conferences, and YouTube videos doesn't come cheap. You gotta push that merch!
I just noticed that the tape reels in your avatar are rolling. That's awesome.
The rest of it is depressing as hell. But talking to plebs who get it keeps me going. They are what is real.
No one met us at birth. Except for loved ones. But there are those whom no one expected: children of alcoholics, drug addicts and other degenerates. Tell them your problems, man. Tell the children in large third world families. Tell the parents of the three girls who were stabbed to death in England. Tell your problems to the parents of the children dying in their arms. And then you will understand whether you have the right to give up because of some assholes. Wake up. Shake yourself up. Live the rest of your life playing with fire! Even if evil wins, make sure that this victory is equivalent to defeat for him! Just do your job, brother, and don't get distracted by assholes. We are walking with you!
Fuck that guy, this only further reinforces my disdain. Keep being the change you want to see in the world
