While it would be great to liberate x86, more than 4 billion people in the world use mobile phones, and phones are beyond saving. x86 is in very healthy shape compared to the clusterfuck that is the smartphone industry. If you think that coreboot is a fringe project, you need to head over to replicant or neo900 to see what the fringe actually is.

- bubblethink 10y agoI don't think baseband can ever be truly free because of regulatory issues. The only realistic way of containing it would be through isolation.
