Leah Rowe is not a Rowebot

The new Libreboot article is now live:

libreboot.org/news/10.html

It is technically 12 December 2023 in the UK; in 3 minutes from this post being published, it will be 13 December 2023.

Libreboot's first ever release was on 12 December 2013, so today has been Libreboot's 10-year anniversary.

I've spent all day writing the article. It explains the history of the Libreboot project, through my eyes.

Thoughts welcome. I'll likely tweak it, despite having published. What's there should be complete.

@libreleah Wow. Quite a write up. 👏

Spoilt by the assertion that joining the EU = domestic and foreign policy being "controlled by other governments", which is untrue and was specifically refuted by the UK Conservative govt in the Brexit white paper on leaving the EU. Jointly agreeing matters of shared interest <> being controlled. Foreign policy isn't an EU competence. Domestic law is and always has been a matter for parliament to choose how and where to share sovereignty.

@samueljohnson yeah, tbh that statement wasn't really needed, so has now been removed - i used it for comparison, while raising a point, but the point itself is clear enough without such examples. the substance of the article, and sheer depth of it, especially that section as a whole, pretty much carries the point forward, driving it home without the need for analogy. patch:

this change has now been applied, live. its removal does not alter the substance of the article.
