what about trademarks?

Intellectual "property" is not being used without permission

No wonder they aren't going to certify Librem's products

Trademarks are intended to distinguish "marks of a trade". In practise, I would need to use a mark that is sufficiently distinct as to not cause confusion with other marks within a given "field". I would think that the mark of "Lenovo Thinkpad T400" would be sufficiently distinct to the "Anonbuster T400".

This is bait
They care about giving the word user, the free software world is being utterly crushed by the cucked opensource world thanks to the openbait of google, MS and other similar and the main reasons for the opensource world crushing the freedom one is because again people don't read/understand the licenses even tho they are extremely simple to understand.
Most people/devs don't and do not want to understand:
Very simple to understand
A clusterfuck to understand but it's easier if you read licenses.
If written properly, but they do exists.
Do I have to explain that there's more than just one way to sell something ? yes and people don't have imagination besides the easy way that consist of fucking customers over and over instead of making quality.

Maybe because it's the only ones that are up to the standards of the RYF certification.

Like I said earlier
And ? the problem is ? so yes it's ten times the price of the hardware (and it could be worse (member when Francis rowe sold T400 for 1000$))
You aren't satisfied with the price ? then go buy one on ebay if you're lucky you'll have one that doesn't require replace the HDD and add some RAM or replace any other part.
You see user these people are trying to make their lives better by making money from people who don't want to flash or repair their shit themselves but they still want to have some kind of freedom if possible.
If you don't want to buy these, stop being a bitch go on the libreboot website and read it then go to ebay, buy a 50$ T500 and flash it yourself.
And maybe you could even propose the same services has these people to flash chips and make some money.

If you don't want to be a good goy ==GO FUCKING READ YOU GODDAM NIGGER==

yes


This is more or less wrong.
Juridically speaking yes one has ownership of it but technically speaking we don't have the schematics or source code to make anything useful out of it so we technically don't own it.

I think what people need to realize is that when it comes to the products themselves, they sadly do not have anything else. What newer products could they put into that list?
Proprietary BIOS and Intel ME.
Binary blobs in their coreboot (although they say they're working to fix that).
Not even available yet, and I don't think it will be until next year.

As far as providing info on how to do it yourself, it's important to know that a publication like this needs to be flexible.
It can be a "How do I deal with the botnet?" guide.
It can be a "I'm a normie who doesn't know much about computers, but i'm getting absolutely terrified about surveillance now. What should I get?" guide.
It can be a "What do I buy my freetard relative/friend/acquaintance for Christmas this year?" guide.
Flexibility.

Why are they recommending a smart phone? Is it just RMS who is against phones?

For the OS:

From the Replicant FAQ:

In other words, it's pretty much the most libre smartphone you can get right now, even more so than LineageOS.

Why some people don't get the real meaning of free software?
github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/issues/1153
REEEEEEE

At first I thought this was the Awesome Window Manager.
wew

It can be installed on any Android-based system. Moot point.

Key differences from LineageOS? (which is available for a shitload of devices, unlike the former)
