If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.

From Cardinal Richelieu

Combine this with the fact that entities which have access to our data rarely have our best interest in heart. Governments change, the political climate changes, and people change. What’s honest and just today may not be next decade.

That’s a problem with most new technology, isn’t it? Sure its not ideal but also not a dealbreaker, unlike the tv showing ads or sharing my usage data with others

You can use smart tvs as dumb screens though, just don’t connect it to internet. Is there a similar way for Evs?

I’m also against proprietary systems but is there an open alternative?

When you’re marrying someone you’re usually not like “lets try this and see where it goes” (that’s called dating), you’re more like “till death do us part” so yes, divorce is failure more often than not. Ending a relationship, not so much

Kudos to the guy for doing stuff + it being FOSS, but I wouldn’t call him “great at designing social platforms”. Pixelfed is fediverse instagram, loops is fediverse tiktok

I can’t bring myself to spend 200$ on it, no matter how many praises I read. It doesn’t matter that they’re including 20 games, they’re all pretty short and switch lite costs 200$. I believe I’d buy one around 100$, if I ever see a 2nd hand for that price

Imo its fine if they open source it when they decide to end support. The fact that app has a pristine privacy record is good enough

I choose Apple because its the lesser evil. Going fairphone/postmarketos (or degoogled android) is too much trouble and I’m not that idealistic. I respect those who do, though.
