I did this for fun:
https://gnuboot.vimuser.org/news/gnuboot20230717.html
And now I'll actually get back to working on Libreboot. GNU Boot is inferior, for reasons explained here: https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html - but they wanted to fork Libreboot. Here is GNU Boot:
https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnuboot/
They struggled for months to get devs. They use super old revisions of Libreboot. I decided to help them, for fun :)
This version that I made is based on Libreboot from *today*, intended for re-use by the GNU project.
The GNU Boot people actually sent me a cease and desist email, citing trademark infringement. Amazing.
Despite the original site clearly stating that it's unofficial. I literally made it to help them. You know, to help them use newer Libreboot because they use old Libreboot and even older coreboot.
Anyway, I complied with their polite request and have renamed the project to non-GeNUine Boot. The release archive is re-compiling.

Personally, I like the new name better.
i got a reply from Ariadne Conill @ariadne saying i should post the C&D. here it is.
it was pgp signed too, but also encrypted; i didn't know how to show the text unencrypted with the pgp signature intact pertaining to it, so here is a screenshot instead:
@libreleah Oh, a French. That explains both the rudeness and the wrongness.
@Archivist Don't worry, I just wanted to make the joke. French people are cool. Unlike the Germans. Germans are the scum of the Earth.
@josemanuel@qoto.org @ariadne Not cool. Racism is unacceptable. You are now blocked from engaging with me on Mastodon. Good day, sir.

Wowow calm down we don't claim that dimwit he's on his own
