    I’m not putting anything in me that’s not foss. I worry for the tech illiterate though when they eventually adopt this idea.

      I agree, I love the idea of a brain chip, but not if someone can change licensing terms on something that’s INSTALLED in me.

      Are you going to be that picky when they’re fitting you with a pacemaker?

      I agree if it’s just something for fun though, although personally I’d err on the side of not putting anything in me at all thanks very much. I’m quite happy with my tech on the outside where it belongs.

      Dude, look at the current support for audio drivers. Do you really want to deal with that for your ears?

      Just kidding I don’t know anything about audio drivers 😂

        I remember having to figure out why audio was not working on a new installation. That was once, probably ~5 years ago and was fixed quickly once I found a solution online.

        I’d vastly prefer my ears to stop working intermittently due to a FOSS driver issue over a corporate overlord installing bloat, spyware, demanding regular payment for the privilege of them not deleting my driver, just to drop support for them some years later anyway.

          If the audio doesn’t work, I want to be sure it is because of me, not some tech-suit trying to make me pay more for their rubbish services

        What’s wrong? It’s time to repair your brain’s Pulseaudio configuration after an update!
