It’s so easy shitting on techbro VC nonsense that only separates us from our humanity to sell adspace. What actual problems do you want technology to solve?

Yes, every chip and circuit completely open and transparent with published schematics.
Having the source be open is a necessary but not sufficient condition of Free Software already, so there’s no need to say “free and open source” since the Open Source movement is a capitalist plot to dilute the meaning of software freedom.
wait really?
Yes. Consider Android for a concrete example. Android is an Open Source project, but to build a completely working Android phone with all the features a user would expect from that requires a significant amount of nonFree Google software. Further, Android devices can be (and in fact usually are) sold in a condition which deliberately locks away the user’s ability to examine and modify the code running on them.
