To be clear, it's not "the libreboot side" but rather "The Leah Rowe side" - to date she has not offered any evidence of her accusations. >From my viewpoint it seems VERY doubtful that the FSF would be bigoted towards trans people and i'm inclined not to believe the accusation.
Leah: I also have to ask why you are only now looking into supporting the BSDs better. The GNU project is not anti-BSD as you seem to believe. Remember that GRUB contains code to load BSD kernels - in fact the last time I installed OpenBSD I did so by loading bsd.rd from GRUB. Leah - you might remember me as GarethTheGreat on freenode. I had a lot of respect for your efforts with libreboot and gluglug and hoped to buy a laptop from you at some point. I will no longer do so as I am a proud supporter of the FSF and can see you actively slandering some good people. I'd rather not drag the OpenBSD mailing lists into such drama so I will not comment further. --- âLanie, Iâm going to print more printers. Lots more printers. One for everyone.
