Deshittifying the IoT Starts with Me

- jkestner 3y agoI only have a webcam that's pointed inside a chicken coop, so I roughly agree with you. But that's the open-source purity stance and it won't improve things — people do buy IoT, so how can the people who have a hand in making these things do better? Your tone reinforces to me that the term IoT is a poisoned brand, but it doesn't mean that there are no good uses for networked objects. Just networked objects that punish us with a lack of control and user experience.
