  • Right now, there is no such thing as a completely open source laptop/desktop computer. You can have an open source operating system. You can even have an open source bios in the form of libreboot. The hardware however, is impossible to have as open source too. intel, amd, and arm all have closed source binary blobs in them. Risc-v might be an option, but frankly, I don’t expect any for profit company to make their hardware accessible in any sort of intentional way.

    I will never willingly put any tech inside my body that isn’t entirely open source. (Just you watch, i’ll make a fuss about the pacemaker tech I need to have installed in 50 years!) Since this currently excludes every major hardware company in existence, I don’t expect to ever answer this question positively.


  • They (the Jedi council) discovered that Dooku was evil after/during the time they were forced to use the clones to rescue anakin and co. So like, yeah, the group of people involved in the clone creation was sus, but at the same time they were already neck deep in a war when it all came out and they had a moment to think about things.

    A better Jedi council wouldn’t have accepted the positions of generals over a slave army.

    A better Jedi council would’ve stopped at using slave soldiers to rescue a pair of Jedi and a politician.

    A better Jedi council would have been suspicious of a slave army being made in their name.

    A better Jedi council would have treated anakin as a person first, instead of as child soldier / prophesied savior.

    The better Jedi council didn’t exist. It was an indolent, slow, and prideful Jedi council, and that’s why they failed. That was the whole point; to stuck up in their own assess to see what’s going on right in front of them.

    I think it makes for a great story, if not the one that we might’ve hoped for.
