librekittyi’ll paste my reply from mastodon:
gotta follow FOSS tech, endless wonder ✨
Well just point me towards a FOSS laptop then. Or a FOSS TV? Why not a FOSS toothbrush?
Tech is not just software 🙄.
DiplomjodlerAny laptop can be a FOSS laptop.
A truly foss laptop would be repairable with readily available hardware.
FOSS just stands for “free and open source software”. While repairability fits in with the ethos, it’s a separate issue.
FOSS is just software… it’s literally what’s that acronym means.
steal_your_faceYeah you gotta have FOSH
Chonky boi but I like it
Because the last S in FOSS stands for software?
Then why the fuck do you think just software will solve enshittification of TECH, as mentioned in OP’s post?
That’s right, you can’t. Dumbass.

Thank you,

firmware is software, which often powers hardware 🙄
That’s cool buddy, next time someone talks about Tech in general (the post you clearly didn’t read from OP), you can spew your strawman bullshit about how FOSS solves enshittification. And be wrong as all fuck.
Who sharted in your coffee this morning?
Beeing excited about parts of tech does not warrant you to be a grumpy old man.
Also RISC-V exists and there are laptops, there you go
They are not amazing in performance but it is pretty amazing that they exist at all.
Saying FOSS solves enshittification and disregarding the fact that this completely ignores the entire hardware enshittification side of things is dumb as all hell.
And I will not stand for dumb bullshit.
The laptops you mentioned are not FOSS because they’re neither free nor software. So my point stands about the shit the top comment in this thread is spewing about FOSS as the enshittification solution.
