> can you trust your firmware, hardware, etc.

Nope. We'll never have truly free computing until we can make our own hardware at home. Just like we can make free software at home.

Governments will eventually decide that unrestricted computers that run arbitraty code are too subversive. They turn laws into a joke. They destroy entrenched business models. Stuff like copyright barely makes any sense now that networked computers exist. Encryption alone is a potent enough weapon to defeat militaries

They don't want the masses to have access to such a poweful thing. Industries and governments are completely aligned on this matter.
