I haven't really started on top of the open movement. Other than to bitch about John Deere. I love their tractors, fucking hate their proprietary software and their nefarious data collection.

Well that is not entirely true. The bitching about JD is true, but I have tried to stay informed on right to repair. But I don't seek out an open solution to things I don't need. I am all for GNU/GPL and have been using Linux for 20ish year.

I assume a lot of this open IOT is Arduino based everything I have read about Arduino I like, I just can be bothered to learn how to use and program it.

I have learned that I prefer not have to much tech, I have only had a smartphone for 4 years. I got one mostly because it became near impossible to navigate life with out one. Is seem like everyone wants to do things though apps now.
