Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel & Trusted Computing

[nodrm . ever]

My deciding factor is who controls my PC (today and in the future). When  
Billie Gates, TCG, or whoever/whatever pays for my custom build, software,  
DSL, etc., then they can decide the how/when/where I use my PC. While I'm  
paying the bills, they don't get any vote. This is not a protest movement, so  
whether my "avoiding the technology" or not buying Intel products is  
relevant...is quite meaningless. I cannot stop Intel from forcing DRM on  
everyone, but I can refuse to contribute to their profit margin, and avoid  
the technology by refusing to be force-fed. If that means I don't get the  
'latest&greatest&biggest&best' hardware, I can live with that. If it means I  
have to teach myself how to decrudify Windows XP, and reconfigure/rebuild  
Linux kernel, then such is life. Such companies will do whatever they  
want...that does not mean I have to support them, or meekly accept the  
choices (or lack thereof) they would make for me.
