At this point, I'm thankful that we have Free Software.
Me too, which is why I'm worried about hardware. With enough effort, literally anyone can decide not to trust a binary and check the source. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for hardware: you can't print your own microchips.

These computers constantly track their owners while being connected to most (if not all) of their private communications services. Even people running a "fully" open source OS are affected. Not even the Ubuntu phone will help this problem for which there is no end in site. This is off topic, but it's high time we open source cellular radio drivers.
