Exactly. It’s not the smart part of a device that is the problem. That’s an extreme overreaction.

The problem with most smart devices today is that they are proprietary, non-fully libre and open source, for-profit, cloud-connected, corporate committee designed spyware, adware, and bloatware.

Devices that are fully FLOSS (firmware, hardware, software) and based on open and free standards and protocols are awesome, but they get easily forgotten.

The Internet and your technology can be so much better. Demand it.

Everything to the left of killing homeless people is radical leftism to them.

Are the concepts of costs and development foreign to you?
