I don’t want a computer with adverts in the task bar or menu, on which I can’t run my own software freely and easily, or which I can’t repair myself.

I don’t want an eReader which snitches on my reading, or which can remove my books.

I don’t want to use a proprietary third party service and app for my dishwasher.

I don’t want a car which can be controlled remotely via someone else’s servers.

@neil good list ❤️ - one more:

I do not want my TV to take screenshots of everything I watch just to personalize ads that I did not opt-in to: https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/113205215648124696

Almost in complete agreement.

But having a car that's grown functionally better over the last 4 years, and who I can tell to warm up from my bed, /just/ edges me into hypocrisy.

Comfort is a shoe-in for capitalist hegemony.
