can be this true, whar is you though

This sounds promising, if it is true. However, as I understand it, such a move does not necessarily mean that they will cooperate with allowing free firmware to be ported to it, or that there won't be other issues, like requirements for signed microcode.

I really do...

If true it seems like it come in the form of updates from the motherboard vendor so one must still wait for them to provide such an update.

Notice the title there on Phoronix where it's AMD "allows" you to. Don't forget that it's still proprietary, user-subjugating software regardless. So "allows" seems very appropriate here because it's like "the higher-level master (AMD) is now allowing the second-level master (the motherboard vendor) to allow their lowly subject to turn off something." But: Both masters must be in agreement for this to happen, or it won't.

If it does you can say: Oh thank you, dual level of masters, for allowing me a choice.

Freedom means not having a master. The better answer seems to be to forget all the shenanigans that the dual-layers of masters are up to and move to libreboot so that your computer will obey you, not someone else. Where you are the master that decides what the computer does (or doesn't do) and are not the subject of a master that decides for you.

I write to Dr. Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, regularly to make their graphics drivers more Libre friendly. I cannot get dual monitors with Trisquel on any AMD machine, which sucks. It is good that they are getting better with Linux drivers, for multimedia work, like video editing, It always could be better though. But to get them working on a Libre OS is the holy grail. I will be writing another letter to Dr Lisa Su (I keep it civil and friendly) and I am sure she knows me by now. She probably expects letters from me by now. ; - b (nah) So now is your chance, folks. What should I ask to help fellow Trisquelites? What would be a dream gift from AMD to the Libre community? What phrasings should I use and technical terminology? I will put all that in and let you folks know if she responds.

We will not get anywhere unless we specifically ask these companies what we want, such as to not exploit labour, fabricate on occupied land, or sprinkle our hardware with proprietary firmware. These companies have more than enough money and resources to not behave this way. There are small companies who try to build hardware from scratch so we can have free software, which is a great idea. You would think these profitable bigger companies who have the budget to try different things and test new product ideas, like proprietary firmware free hardware, would actually do something about it. The ideas of free software are pretty much known in computer science clubs throughout the world. So I cannot understand why they no longer exist once these engineers join a corporation. You would think *some* of these ideas would hold. Same with people I know personally who abide by free software in school and then become Mac fanatics after. It's weird.
