    Ah the it for sure will be as slimy as possible. I hope people just wouldn’t buy it then. Not too sure how much people outside tech nerds like you and me even care about this stuff, but I saw when the Oura ring came out, a lot of people were put off because it is subscription-based. I hope the enshitification hits hard enough that people move to more freedom/privacy/security respecting products.

      Sadly tech security, privacy, and freedom are not a focus for most people. Just gotta keep doing what you can personally do to make it better.
