No. You're using a distro which enables you to use the devices you bought. If every distro would follow the misguided path, you would be unable to use your GPU with a libre operating system at all.
Nobody is stopping you to remove your firmware. Right now you're not doing it, because you want actually functional hardware.

You can install Debian like Arch. Look at debootstrap and/or the Debian manual under manual installation. It's actually a pretty streamlined process, especially if you're coming from Arch.
Which ironically seems to be very antisemitic to me?
OK but they do look immersed. What sense is missing for them to feel so? Smell?
The proprietary firmware is already there, and if you don't update it, your libre system becomes more insecure and less reliable. Distributing updates for those devices is a net gain for software freedom.
But honestly if the non-level based version is also fun and has 100h+ of content, then I am actually considering getting it xD
I really like the base game, but deleting it all the time just is so cruel. I assumed the sandbox mode is like Minecraft Creative mode.
Huh, there's also a sandbox button in the demo I think, I just never thought it'd be fun. Don't know if it actually even works in the demo.
I am not saying that we need to replace every non-libre firmware, I am saying that not using firmware updates is hurting free software adoption and doesn't advance user freedom.
I agree! But in at least one case the FSF's understanding/handling of free software is ineffective: firmware. Especially with boot chain security being increasingly implemented in a user freedom hostile way, the focus as presented by the FSF is imo too narrow.
Thanks for doing the Guix rant I am too lazy to do. Also: does NixOS even have something like --ad-hoc?
That's what people tell me, and why I played the demo. What irks me a bit is since it is level-based, my cool automation complexes get reset/lost everytime. That's obviously the point of the game I guess, but... I guess I expected more of a Minecraft modpack kind of gameplay.
I guess I'll just wait a few more months to see if I have an epiphany. It's just so expensive in comparison..
People like me can't change what big companies do. They just do it, and get their money from other companies and consumers who don't care.
I personally don't want to watch while free operating systems become increasingly unusable and insecure. Let's instead use the devices to our advantage as much as possible.
