repetition in cases. streamline it a bit more, so that it

i was linking to the old safety.md article, which
then linked to the inject guide, but the safety
article is now obsolete, because i implemented a
better regime than what was described there. so,
i've updated all links to safety.md, replacing them
with ivy_has_internal.md

on high dpi screens, the text looks far too small
add a section for higher screen resolution, increasing
the font size, and increase it for existing widths
this makes the site much more readable on my 27"
1440p monitor.

this release is pretty crazy. a lot more revisions are planned
for the 6 december release. move the revnotes to a dedicated
page, in anticipation of many more revisions (in my head there
are about 30 additional changes planned).

I actually like the rainbow logo, but I re-considered:
It does look a bit *gay*, which I'm 100% supportive of, but
Libreboot has many users from many different countries, not
all of them accepting. If someone in such a country looks at
libreboot.org, it might turn a few heads and could even get
them into trouble.
Libreboot doesn't need to look like a pride symbol. It just
needs to provide free boot firmware.
This reverts commit 7e1fa9ff12.
also tidy up the ivy_has_common guide. the .uk one was in
english anyway so i removed that one.
reference the platform option needed in ifdtool, on kabylake

i've realised recently that libreboot release announcements
are very boring. most people need to see something that draws
them in - simply saying "Project vFoo released!" is not enough.
Ditto pictures; I added pics at the start of the article, in
previous revisions. I'll start being wiser to this in future
releases of Libreboot.

I encountered a minor build error last night, caused by
an oversight during development. I quickly fixed the issue
but then decided to spend the night testing a few more
mainboards for addition; however if I continue doing this,
I'll never make the release.
So this is essentially the same as what the 20241205
release would have been, with only a minor bug fix in
the build system.

docs/hardware is redundant, because it now mostly
contains installation instructions, and docs/install
also contains hardware information. therefore, in
practise, they are both the same kind of information.
merge the two, and streamline everything. a lot of
redundant information has been removed.
docs/install/ has been re-structured in such a way
as to enable more chronological reading, to make it
easier for the average user to install Libreboot.
This is part of a larger series of changes I'm working
on for the documentation. I'm massively auditing the
entire Libreboot documentation.

a lot of the instructions are really old
make it relevant to the way libreboot currently works
some legacy information has been removed, pertaining to
libreboot 20230625 which is oldstable; 20240612 is the
current stable release, so the 20230625 information no
longer needs to be written here.

the bucts unbrick instructions are not useful, because
libreboot already provides both bootblocks as duplicates.

i normally use redshift, and the #eee shade looks
fine, but the text is a bit too bright when i turn
off redshift.
ccc looks fine with or without. the dark purple theme
was restored, because the light theme was a bit of an
eye sore, but the shiny bright text on the dark theme
was also an eye strain
the slightly darker shade should be easier on the eyes

it kinda needs to be there. my intention to be at peace
with *those people* is still on. you know the ones. but
there's no way to host this page without revealing that
hostility, which is currently *former* (or rather,
dormant) hostility. rather than censor specific information,
the entire page was deleted as part of the reconciliation
with fsf, referenced in the article itself, but this too was
a mistake.
no, the correct thing to do is *continue to host this page*.
the other hostile pages are not being re-added.
i'll probably delete this page again at some point, and
redirect it to a new history page, that will contain all
of the same substance and *more*, because:
this page was written in a day. it was written from start
to finish *on the same day* of libreboot's 10 year anniversary.
therefore, it's not as long as it could be.
a more complete history is on my TODO. one that also goes
into a lot more technical detail. libreboot has a rich and
vibrant history, yet has so far not documented its own
history well, and the relatively niche nature of libreboot
is that a lot of people don't really get what it's about,
so you won't find a lot of that info online - the history
of the project is entirely in my head.
there are other people who can provide their own accounts,
but i'm the only person that's been here since the beginning.
anyway, i digress.

acceptable for promotion, due to louis rossmann's work
promoting FUTO's "source first" license, which is a

commercial usage of software released under it.
