@landley @SweetAIBelle so yeah, I think #transparency is something #FLOSS can and should deliver more by virtue of enabling #ReproducibleBuilds and -Setups!

We expect #Reproduceability in #mechanics, #electronics and any other #engineering as well, and we should do that with #Software, #Hardware and #Firmware too because it not just removes the need to #trust but also allows for longer support...

So instead of demanding a #remote-#updateable shite that can literally enable maliciois actors to "Hastings" drivers, @EU_Commission should've rather demanded #ReproduceableFirmware and that all the componemts, design and Software to be #OpenSource'd permissively to enshure #LongTermSupport and #compatibility and ease of testing for anyone from Users amd 1st party service centers to 3rd Party repair shops to Historic Vehicle owners...
