@mntmn I strongly believe that more people need to learn why this is so important - to have a system from the ground up that's designed specifically NOT to have surveillance and tracking built in by design.

i.e. Don't be fooled by a "smart" (always on) device that's designed to passively stimulate addiction and cultivated "needs", but be smart ourselves and demand devices that simply just do what we need it to, and without any hidden agendas.

Like this kind of BS: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/02/lenovo-pcs-ship-with-man-in-the-middle-adware-that-breaks-https-connections/

@mntmn I'd still rather remove any proprietary bs and untrustworthy bloat at extra cost any day.

Most people either don't care, don't know any better, or worse take convenience over privacy. The world's a mess because we allow it to happen.

Thanks for caring, and please don't stop.
