Its been wonderful purging all my american owned crap from my smart speakers to reddit. Looking forward to getting a linux desktop for the first time in nearly 10 years!

Agreed, moving away from American tech stuff is becoming a priority.

American oligarchs are no better than the oligarchs who work with putin or Xi. Perhaps even worse because they tend to be much more dishonest in their rhetoric (constant pompous rants about "changing the world for the better").

I just switched over to Linux Mint and, while it's not perfect, it's so much better than windows.

Fedora here and loving the switch from big tech.

If your last time using Linux was 10 years ago you're going to be SO PLEASED at how good it is now.

Did you replace your smart speaker or you don’t use one at all?

All unplugged and sitting in a box. It feels much more like a home now that I'm not being constantly listened to.

Why would you have been okay with it enough to purchase one in the first place? As an American, it’s always been pretty clear that American companies are filled with horrible data management. They actively lobby against any sort of GDPR or equivalent data laws and regularly leak data with no real ramifications.

I never really took it as seriously as I should have. I genuinely gave up caring for the sake of 'convenience'. I've seen the error of my ways since.
