• I’m just using foss software and being grateful for the people who work tirelessly on maintaining a piece of software, most often in their own free time, that does just what it says on the box. I wouldn’t even for a second consider demanding more from them.

• I recently purchased an old plasma TV I will be tinkering with. No internet connectivity of any kind. It is hard to get excited about new TVs that are basically google and Bezos boxes and I do not wish to send them a single dime just to be spied on when I just want to watch my movies on bluray.

  I am aware I can just disconnect my TV from the internet, but I don’t want to support the stupid platforms that are built into the TV. Why is it any of Googles, amazon or any other platforms business what I use my TV for?
