@thevhswizard@retro.pizza TBF, though, if your question is something like "how do I make it so my new car (or tv, or fridge) doesn't spy on me?" many of the responses will be "never buy new stuff, I will keep my 1976 Dodge Aspen running for the rest of time to avoid 21st century techbro stuff." Which, I mean, is fair enough, but fails to answer the question.
Cf: questions about non-FOSS computing.

@Plumbert@thecanadian.social @thevhswizard@retro.pizza Never make a FOSS evangelist question their computer's firmware... and the firmware of the various tiny computers inside that big computer.
