I have no issues with Purism except for the way they promote their laptops,
so I don't know what prior experience could be biasing me against the way
they promote their laptops.
Have you read the page I linked to yet? It's not like I'm cherry picking a
few potentially misleading quotes from what is otherwise transparent and
informative. Can you find a single sentence pertaining to freedom that does
not falsely imply that the laptop is 100% libre? The closest I can find is
this one:
"PureOS, from the bootloader, kernel, through to the hundreds of thousands of
software applications available, is built line-by-line with emphasis on your
rights to privacy, security, and freedom."
That sentence only makes a claim about the OS, which is libre, so I don't
have a problem with it, although it does seem to imply that every line of
code in PureOS was either written by Purism or written by another developer
motivated by privacy, security, and freedom, neither of which is the case.
I don't see how anyone can look at that page and claim that it isn't
misleading, and the misleading language is so consistent, effective, and
well-written that I can't imagine that it isn't intentional. Am I just going
crazy?
