there is no toy but gnu and linux is only one of its accesories
I had the weirdest dream. Maybe thanks to nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqpsuydtqtnvsuajvjfgyytgqmr2lnt6nc8rfyr7qx0mfga9rhuspqu3k88n, but I'll tell you my tale.
I was with my wife and family in a resort/zoo in a forest, kinda tropical, and I was just relaxing. Suddenly, my sister tells me she just met Richard Stallman and that he's got a conference here.
I told her to let me know when he was going away and got an idea: I really wanted my T480 to be signed by RMS as a "freedom-respecting laptop."
The issue was that my OS was not FSF-approved, so I was stressing about it, trying to fool RMS into signing it even though I knew it was not 100% okay.
It is not only about OS. Also the firmware(the motherboard ROM). the t480 is spooky. use t400/x200

Before Nehalem (ME version 6, 2008/2009) the ME firmware could be removed completely from the flash chip by setting a couple of bits inside the flash descriptor, effectively disabling it.
Starting from Nehalem the Intel ME firmware can't be removed anymore: without a valid firmware the PC shuts off forcefully after 30 minutes, probably as an attempt to enforce the Intel Anti-Theft policies.
also, he probably just does not. the librejs addon thingy
" I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it ."
