Although mentioned in the article, I would like to emphasize that https://puri.sm are selling laptops with disabled and cleaned (with me_cleaner) bios. I hope more companies follow.

Purism seems to be rather inept, they shat the bed with their recent Librem One product launch, whereby they rebranded Tusky and disabled all moderation tools on their Mastodon instance, then were suprised when their employees started quiting due to this ridiculous behaviour.
Purism doesn't seem to want to invest in the software that makes their services work, hence the commentary by Matrix devs on which services are helping to push development forward (and thus deserve subscribers).
Where can I read the details of this? (I have preordered a Librem 5. Employees quitting doesn't sound good.)

Gnome dev ended his contract with Purism over their inept management of the Mastodon instance they are selling accrss to: https://wandering.shop/@KelsonV/102057489260188127
System76 also does this for some machines: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15819636
The purism devices look great but they are so expensive and its really hard to justify a $900 phone that has worse specs than my old $300 one
