There are some working on making open source processors. These being fabricated in a similar way to modern silicon dies.
But also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eo8l7HP-9U
You can make your own processor, it might just be a little (!) less powerful than what you’re used to.
I know the point is PRIVACY, but I believe if we put effort toward it, these obstacles can be overcome. Then we can move closer to full privacy on our computers/phones.

Yeah, even compiling everything you run into the Trusting Trust problem and that’s only gotten way worse.
I love rust, but I was installing fd the other day as an alternative to
find. Find, written in C I’m guessing and nearly as old as the silicon running it, is 200KB in size, while fd is 4MB. Is it 20 times better for being 20 times bigger? I’m not worried about the space but obviously 3.8MB of runtime and framework, in every executable, is both a lot of overhead and a lot of places to hide surveillance. Should i be worried that every rust program, compiled to LLVM, a system maintained and sponsored by Apple, has the potential to be backdoored?Well probably not since all the chips are already backdoored, but who’s to say Apple wouldn’t double down. How far do you trust the .net or java runtimes? It’s tough out here for the paranoids!
Do you not think Purism’s Librem laptop actually disable Intel ME?

Say what You like. You’re just flat out wrong. I’ve got a Librem 13 and a Librem 5 so I know you’re wrong.
Hubert Manne has no need for privacy for Hubert Manne is as we say here on earth a tome that is laid bare.
Verry good article.
But with individuals, when someone shares their excitement for data privacy, when someone shares their PrivacyProduct™️ recommendation that, even if imperfect, is still a great tool without misleading information, then we should all celebrate and support this.
This. 100%. We can and should point out imperfections, but we shouldn’t stomp an improvement it into the ground just because it is not 100% perfect.
