I see your point, but it feels more like the difference between 99% fat free and 100% fat free. Technically measurable, but irrelevant in practice when the alternatives are all basically closed source.
- fwip 11mo agoTo some people, it's more like "99% shellfish free." I personally don't mind that the cellular radio is closed-source, but I'm also not allergic to shellfish.

IMO, either it doesn't matter and you can just say that it's almost all FOSS, or it does matter and you really shouldn't be lying about it. > Technically measurable, but irrelevant in practice when the alternatives are all basically closed source. The alternatives are the pinetime, watchy, and bangle.js, which AFAIK are also ~95% FOSS. I guess Apple and Google also offer smart watches, but I'd argue that those are so different in terms of features that they're not really direct competitors.
